[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 4156685, member: 42584"] Update from the cardiologist appointment I had yesterday. So I go in, get the vitals done, then an EKG. About 10-minutes later cardiologist doc comes in, looks at the EKG printout, checks my lungs and heartbeat (stethoscope) ask how I'm feeling and then tells me that according to the EKG and heart rhythm he listened to I'm currently in the middle of an Atrial Fibrillation episode at that very moment. Kind of floored me with that bit of info considering that there are Defibrillators hanging off the walls all over the place and I've always been told that a Fibrillation episode can be an instant death sentence unless help arrives with a Defibrillator quickly. He then continues on as if nothing is going on, to discuss remedies like medications to control my heart (different from the Metoprolol that I'm presently on), Artrial Ablation, or open-heart surgery. And of course the . . . you've got to lose weight, exercise more, and here's a script to reduce your bodies water retention and bloating problems. "Oh, and don't wait too long trying to decide which route you want to take." - WTF! Then it was off to get my Zoster jab (for Shingles) with the warning that the next day (today) my arm is going to be sore and I'll probably be real tired (both being typical symptoms of that vaccination). So here I sit with a sore arm, a HUGE mug of coffee while trying to stay awake while pounding the keyboard on OSA. [/QUOTE]
