[QUOTE="tareload, post: 228209"] I hear you. I was on top of the world 2.5 yrs ago when I had my first bout of afib at 2 AM. Paramedics on the ambulance ride were like whoa dude where do you work out? I thought to myself is this real? Am I really going to die on this ride being admired by two dudes? Right about then I went vtach at 220 bpm which ain't good when you are in afib. One paramedic got a real scared look on his face and called in to hospital to code me and were about to hit me with adenosine which is a no-no with afib I learned later. But at the time I had an instinct to avoid the shot given my paranoid nature. I told them no and sat up and started Valsalva and breathing and got the ventricles calmed down. Was able to self convert the afib to sinus in the ER an hour later. 2.5 yrs later and it is still with me mentally but trying to work through latest arrythmia issues and being bounced around advice wise on using T. Listened to cardiologist back in Feb and went off T. Well wouldn't you know my T4 to T3 conversion went to hell (I have Hashimotos) which really started messing with my thyroid values. TSH went to 20 with fT4 high and fT3 below range. Here comes the atrial tachycardia. So now I am back on T and trying to crank it back to 90% of pre heart issues. Good talking with you Brother and wish you the best and health! [/QUOTE]
