2 years ago when I was 24, I woke up at 5am with my heart pounding, racing, and also felt like it kept stopping them starting again. When I got the the hospital they initially weren't sure if it was SVT or AFIB. It turned out that it was AFIB with RVR, and at first I was also having PVC's mixed in (hence the feeling my heart kept stopping and then starting). I wasn't able to get it back to normal with valsalva manuever as I had in the past, cardioversion with adenosine didn't work, and 2 rounds of electrocardiogram on were unsuccessful. I was transferred to a Cardiac Care Unit. At some point the PVC's stopped, but I remained in AFIB for many hours. I do have a question; how common is it that you would see AFIB with RVR, and PVC's happening at the same time?
A question from Berlin, Germany : I suffer from AFib since 2021-with shortening periods of occurrence, n o w 2 days free of Afib and 3 to 5/6 days w i t h Afib, since last Oct. I am on 95mgMetoprolol, and bloodthinner Lixiana, had a TSH of 6.7 a month ago ( cold nodes) now taking 50mg L-Thyroxin which d i d n o t stop / influence 😞 the Afib. I am a bit (170 ponds/ 174cm) overweight, n e v e r took drugs, alcohole, cigarettes. Never needed any meds ( before Afib) - was healthy but am stressed - as a full- time teacher and having - untreated - ADS ( AD(H)S. German doctors want to earn money and just say : A b l a t i o n .... I d o think of nutraceuticals - Q10, Mg, D3, Iodine, B- complex, Natriumselenit, etc. to f e e d and e n e r g i s e my hardworking ( exhausted) organ ❤ . From your video I got the impression that y o u dig deeper. You asked what the underlying c a u s e s are. Modern medicine deals with symptoms - how shallow. Could you be so very kind to give an advice ?
Seems you are very well-informed and educated about your condition. We always recommend to discuss any concerns or issues with your cardiologist. Thanks for the comment!
@@ALBUQUERQUEFIRERESCUE Thanks for your reply. In the meantime I got into the state of *persistant afib* and began to trust my cardiologist. He suggested a trustworthy clinic .... in the meantime since November I underwent 3 !!!!!! ablations plus 11 !!!! "heart shocks"- as they call it - because the afib set in after d a y s after every ablation....Amiodarone ( since Nov.) DID N O T help at all !! My hypothesis IS : In MY body Amiodarone c a u s e d*** afib.... which can be o n e sideeffect of A. ! The (operating !!) cardiologist agrred - it might be possible. (*** As soon as he put me on Dronedaron my heart beat in s i n u s rhythm - s o : no rocket science to conclude that. ... The higher he dosed Amiodarone the worse it become, the afib. Medicine is trial and error, often. We should take this into consideration....).
I immediately started following the medical data of studies ( afib studies) that reduced / stopped afib in quite a number of patients who were administered ARGININE, CITRULLINE, TAURINE.... I found patients' blogs with such positive results !!! But my very very likable , open - minded young(er) ~ 40 y.o.age operating cardiologist warned me to take taurine - as it "is in energy drinks" .... !! ( No knowledge of other micronutrients apart from magnesium and Kalium ... ! I told him about the studies and gave him a present - a book by Uwe Gröber 'Mikronährstoffe" - micronutrients. Dr.R. t o o k it. Good. But 7n my case Amiodarone was "stronger" than ^ argine and Co. 😉) I am just saying.
