Still, Torsades is nothing to take lightly since it can turn into V-fib in a hurry. But you are managing well? Tell me more!
Four instances that I'm aware of, two that I can be sure are Torsades due to the fact that I was wearing an event monitor at the time (those instances were very close together), and two that were very similar and thus likely to have been Torsades but one can never be sure. All were out of the hospital and all were self-correcting. That's the reason I feel so blessed. It was my blackouts that really started to get my doctor to realize that something was up. I had gone in repeatedly in the weeks before to my doctor with sharp and short chest pains and a productive cough. He pretty much seemed to think "no biggie" even after my first blackout until he got the call from the monitoring service that "Ninofan" had sent in two recordings that showed the ominous rhythm that is Torsades. Of course he sent me to the hospital immediately. They did testing and discovered the cause. They put me on the usual ACE inhibitor, beat blocker, and dieuretc, and since only a small part of my heart had suffered actual damage from the virus (as opposed to inflammation), my EF is good and my risk now of SCD is pretty small.
