I’ve got to cut back on smoking and modify my diet and reduce all level of stress in my life just to figure out what triggered this attack, because they still don't know.

You look as mellow as a Deadhead in a mushroom patch.... how would this be?

Sorry to hear about your incident... but I'm glad to hear you're doing well.
 
Wow!!

Glad to hear you are hanging in there. Keep us posted.

BTW....I was down in your neck of the woods several weeks ago and was thinking about you. We dropped into that cigar place right off the freeway behind Mamacita's. Not a bad little place.

Anyway, take care. I hope the next news you get is great news.

Blessings,

Gary

You burned some serious calories right there.
One sure way to lose weight.

220 - age = ?? If I hit 190, I would have died.

Glad your okay. Take it easy, exercise, and find out what caused it.
 
WTF!!

That is some scary sh!t. Glad to hear that you are ok. Sorry I never got a chance to HERF before I moved, but when I am back in the States, I will look you up for sure.

Until then, take it easy brother

Marc - glad to hear you're doing better. I have a good friend this happened to in 2005. He was TDY to Thailand (I know - no stress there) and was in the hotel (actaully alone) when the tachycardia hit for the first time. He was taken to teh hospital and stabilized, much as you were, then med-evaced home. He had a few more incidents and, long story short, over the next year they eventually found it wasn't lifestyle (which they initially blamed) it was a small cyst putting pressure on the nerve at one of the ventricular walls. They finally removed the cyst last year and he's fine now. (although he lost his flying status and had to gety a new job). Just thought I'd pass it on in case it ends up not being a one time event. I'd rather not see another friend suffer for over a year before they get there act together and find the real problem.

Be safe and I hope you never have to go throgh that again.

-K-
 
Glad to hear your ok and I hope they find out what caused it as soon as possible.
 
Happy to hear you are doing well. Sounds like it was a serious event. I have what is called persistent A-Fib, where I have the flutter all the time, but nothing like you experienced. They have made great strides in resolving these problems.

Be careful and take care.
