I've got that .
f*cking scary when it first happened
There's nothing they could do for me apart from heart surgery.... Which I declined.
Luckily it died down and I haven't had a serious attack for years now. Is yours happening quite often?
4 serious ones this year so far. Two of which have necessitated calling 999 due to the length of time it had gone on. Latest one was 2 and a quarter hours of my heart doing 216+ BPM.....countless other occasions of where I've felt my heart skip a beat, do a couple of double quick ones etc. Getting worse not better....
They are going to do the surgery. I didn't really have much choice in that. Absolutely bricking it now.
As Fridays go, this one sucked pretty good.
So I'm going to get completely Trollied this evening and try and forget this and all the other shit ive got going on........
4 hours was my longest episode, when It snapped back into the normal rhythm it did a massive pump and it hurt a bit.
That is quite high! Highest mine was 190bpm
Hope it goes well mate, I feel your pain mate having been in that situation
