The cardiac PA at the ER told me to come back if I “felt bad” and some things are obvious like the massive dull chest pain I had Monday night.

It’s also clear that if I get out of breath and my heart’s racing that also qualifies as “bad. But it’s harder than I want it to be to determine if my resting heart rate is at a stable “high” level. This is the precondition which leads to a tracing heart rate.

When my resting heart rate is 50% over normal it’s very important to avoid physical activity that will cause heart rate to dangerously increase.

My pulse oximeter doesn’t seem to measure my heart rate well when the period is irregular (an element of atrial fibrillation).

Perhaps having a watch that can perform a simple 1-point ecg could be helpful?

Saw the Apple Ultra 2 watch can do a 1-point ecg and indicate Afib. Are there cheaper options?

[Q] Suggestions for a smart watch or other reliable portable device for measuring heart rate during extensive atrial fibrillation.

Have never had any issues with my heart and after getting Influenza A last week I now have extensive atrial fibrillation and periods of time when my resting heart rate is between 110-120 bpm. When at this heart rate at rest walking slowly up 2 flights of stairs rate rides over 150 bpm.

Urgh. Have had to stop taking caffeine due to heart palpitations #AtrialFibrillation . I knew it was helping my #adhd but I now know exactly how. I've just tried to have a nap after a restless night, and half an hour later I'm even more wired than I was before. My thoughts just won't stop racing. I wake up at 3am and then can't get back to sleep cos Yadda yadda Yadda in my head. After a good strong coffee or even one caffeine pill my brain would just be quiet. It's not like I really hammered the caffeine, I think it's alcohol and stress that triggered the palpitations but I really don't want them back so staying off caffeine feels necessary at least till I talk to a cardiologist. However I'm feeling like I've gone backwards in terms of great strides I made in managing being #actuallyadhd and possibly #actuallyautistic .

Tuesday and Wednesday weren't fun with my first atrial fibrillation experience. Zero stars, would not recommend. I WOULD recommend the Samsung Watch... it identified what was going on. After 5 hours in the ER, I'm feeling better. I'll be wearing this heart monitor for 14 days, and I have more doctor appointments ahead, but I'm okay. Thank you to the doctors and nurses at St. Vincent's / Intermountain Health!

#ParkRun kicked my ass all over the place this morning. Frustrating recurrence of #AFib (#AtrialFibrillation) which presents as shutting my body down whenever my heart rate gets to a certain point. So 5 minutes in all the air leaves my body, I get tunnel vision then start to black out. Of course as soon as my heart rate comes back down I'm fine again. Trish wanted me to just walk round, but I hate that so instead did a long series of stop/start running, punctuated by occasionally having to crouch so I didn't faint, then after pushing myself at the end.... having to have a bit of a lay down on the floor, which I have to tell you made everyone VERY nervous, despite me assuring them I'd be fine. Was talking to one of the Marshals I like who's in a wheelchair about it and going on about how much I hate walking round, to which he pointed out I was a fucking idiot and he'd love to be walking round... 🫠.

But!.... I did it. And like the Marshal said; better to be out and about and getting round in any time than not doing it at all. Which of course is right and I guess I'm just going to have to up the beta blockers and take it a little easier for a minute. Which is annoying for someone like me who's only about 24 years old.

Whinge whinge moan. I'm very lucky really! And it's a lovely day. I hope anyone bothering to read this load of old shit is fantastically well and that you have literally the best day you've ever had in your LIFE! All downhill from here, baby! This is the best you get and then you die. Sorry I don't make the rules. 🤷

#RFKJr has gone to lengths to appear hale, skiing w/a pro snowboarder & w/an Olympic gold medalist….A camera crew was at his side while he lifted weights, shirtless, at an outdoor gym in Venice Beach.🙄

For decades, #Kennedy suffered from #AtrialFibrillation, a heartbeat abnormality that increases the risk of #stroke or #HeartFailure. He has been hospitalized ≥4X, although in an interview… this winter, he said he had not had an incident in >a decade & believed the condition had “disappeared.”
