So, after starting with 102, we're down to 48. I'm hoping for 20 chicks.
Well one of the reasons I was up ALL NIGHT last night is that my heart was fluttering.
After getting up, shower and a shave and off to work, I saw my first 4 patients and then it was just bugging me too much.
I don't have high blood pressure, but it had skyrocketed! 138/100 with a pulse of 90. I usually run at 120/60 p.58.
So, I cancelled out the rest of the day and DW went with me to my PCP. They said, "You don't have an appointment, go to the ER".
Didn't make me happy. So I went home and rested. Went to my appointment with my knee Dr. he took off the dressing and so I asked him what I should do. He took a listen and told me to go to the ER.
So we went.
Atrial Fribulation. Atrium flutters while the ventricle pumps. Blood Pressure still high, pulse still over 90. (very high for me).
I feel anxious and like I'm going to pass out.
Anyway, after electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and some medicine to reboot my heart into a normal sinus rhythm, they finally give me some general anesthetic (third time in six days), put paddles on my chest and back and shocked my heart back into normal rhythm. I think I'll go to bed now.
