Happiness is...


Finding the 1 screw missing from my all metal Hegel H200 remote while cleaning under my couch cushions for the first time in years before I sucked it into the vacuum.... smiley

If you're over the hill, look for downhill bike rides, and keep your tires inflated.  😃

@asvjerry 

There's also a void in my cheap 5 disc player where discs disappear.

How the heck does that happen?

Maybe some day I'll fix it before there is a multi-disc collision. 😂

Atrial Fibulation?

It’s an irregular heart beat, check into it.

It feels like a flutter in the heart.

Mine is controlled fairly well by a few pills.

No, @unclewilbur , the 10-lead they ran at the time of the stress test showed a perfect NSR.  A bit over a year later, I felt as if I was having palpations and I could actually take my own radial pulse and feel a skipped beat and confirm that by listening with my steth, and I initially thought of PVCs.  I called the VA and they said they would pay for me to go to the ED and get checked, and there they ran a 12-lead for a while and told me it was perfect . . . no A-fib or PVCs or anything else.  I said, "But doc, I can check my pulse and feel a skipped beat intermittently," and the ED doc said, "You want my advice?"  And I was like, "Of course I do!"  He said, "Quit checking your pulse!"  Anyway, whatever I was experiencing was not happening when I was hooked up to the monitor.

After that the VA ordered a monitor for me to wear for a few weeks, and the results came back as occasional runs of SVT, which is a junctional rhythm but generally benign.  However, I do remember from the classroom that V-tach (which is "usually" NOT a benign rhythm)  usually devolves from a junctional rhythm.  

Anyway, I am still here, but as I typed previously in this thread, I do not have a death wish, and most days when I wake up, I’d like to live until at least the next day.

you could get an ablation @immatthewj to be 100%. But it sounds like you are fine. I wasn't.

Some of these arrhythmia types can be nasty and just mess up the heartbeat to a point of no return. Seemingly innocent little electrical signals.
