My pulse is still over 172. This is day four, A new record.
I'm leaving work at 9:30 and I'll be headed over to my cardiologist.
This will likely be the beginning of a very LONG weekend.
Wish me luck.
Fingers crossed for you. I hope they get you fixed this time. Do ask about thyroid

I just got In from the cardio doc.
Because of my 40 year history with this ailment that gets worse over time, he is nearly certain that it is an electrical signal from my brain that is at fault.
I have a stress test scheduled for next Wednesday to rule out an arterial issue and then I'll be getting a surgical procedure that involves placing electrodes into some arteries and moving to the effected area(s) of the heart and burning the pathways.
There is a remote chance that this could fail and I'll wake up with a pacemaker.
But the fact that I could be 100% cured of this crap is too great to pass up on.
This from a man who six months ago was in pretty good health......

I was told it's not all that uncommon and that the success rate is high.
The new meds that he gave me already knocked my pulse down from 182 at 11 am to 96 at 5 pm.
Now, I'm chilly and have blankets on me. I've never been cold in my life. I like it!

I feel much better and it looks like this new doc knows his stuff so in the next few weeks, maybe I can get my old life back.

They just make a few holes in you and slide a tiny camera and the electrodes into your heart.
They're not gonna cut me open like a catfish.
That's only if there are complications....

I love Yorkshire - my nephew was based at RAF Leeming for a while and saw some beautiful places when I stayed at the base. Glad to see the weather is good is for you too. We're just having the first rain shower for almost 3 weeks tonight.
