levellinebrad Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I have it. Haven't had to take the meds in a while though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Bird Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I have it, and require an implanted pacemaker to stop it. Guarantee, you will want to stay on top of it. Best of Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Hello Has anyone else had or have this? Spent the night in the Hospital got out today. I'm curious as to how many of you have had this? Thanks for reading. I have both super ventrichular tachycardia and also PVC runs, but (so far) have not had A fib yet. I believe that A fib is relatively easy to control with meds and they can also put in a "smart" pacemaker that will automatically pace you out of it when it happens. I think the risk factor on A fib is you can throw a clot so it is smart to control it aggressively. Edited June 28, 2014 by bountyhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetdocone Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 40% of men over have A-Fib. Most don't know it. This a stroke waiting to happen. Probably anyone having it should be on medication. It is not a simple fix, and only a handful of hospital and doctors can fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtuns Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Alcohol can cause it if you drink a lot. I had it when I was 33 not on meds and haven't drank in 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatdoc Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well I'm on my feet again. What a trip they're not sure what caused it. I don't drink that much, nor do I smoke. Although stress is a real big prospect. They did a a TEE to check for clots in the Heart. Its good they didn't find any. Then they defibrillated me. I've got two burn marks and a shaved chest for my trouble. I need to chill out and just shoot more ammo. Thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
