Happy to make you smile. I'd rather laugh than cry; it's more fun.
ireneo,
Heart fart?? That is GREAT! I have never heard that one before. It is awesome that you can keep your sense of humor through these dreadful things! You made my day. I am still laughing!!!!!! Thanks.
I know I talked to you a few weeks ago about my " Wacky Tachy" ......I went to my EP and he told me to take Flecainide 50 mg x2 a day and Attenolol 25 mg x1 a day. It is working!!! I have not had this much relief in 10 years. I do worry about the long term, but for now I feel so much better. I also was sent home with a 30day event monitor......Barely have anything to send. Just minor "farts"
Laughing again..Thanks for your humor.
I have no idea what's going on in there. I do know some folks actually have short runs of v-tach and are still around. Without "catching" it on a monitor it's impossible to guess. My heart does weird things too that I can't identify but I figure if it passes quickly and I didn't pass out, then it must not be a big deal. The other morning at work I was standing talking to a co-worker. My heart chose that quiet moment to do something weird and painful. My whole body jerked from the pain and I grabbed my chest. Not very subtle. My friend was shocked and started laughing, said she'd never seen me "have one" before - talking about my heart acting up. That wasn't my typical tachy times but it was a surprise. After the ache eased off I was fine, still am fine. If you're really worried about what happened you'll have to guess what might have triggered it and probably wear a monitor again, see if you can recreate the circumstances. Otherwise, it's just going to be one of those mystery heart farts.. Glad you're feeling OK now.
Did you ever see a electrophysiologist or just a regular cariologist? A electrophysiologist is a spealist for arrythmias.
