WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney experienced an irregular heartbeat Monday and will be evaluated at George Washington University Hospital.

The condition was detected when Cheney was seen by doctors for a lingering cough from a cold.

"During examination he was incidentally found to have an irregular heartbeat, which on further testing was determined to be atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart," said spokeswoman Megan Mitchell.

“Yes, but I don’t remember. What is it?”

Co-enzyme Q10.

Do you know that I *almost* wrote “Co-Q 10” and then thought better of it? I was thinking that’s too simple, lol.

My husband has that atrial fibrillation when he takes cough syrup. If Cheney was taking cough syrup then if he just quits taking it, he will be fine. Doctors make a fortune on that reaction.

Yes, simple, alright. Too simple for physicians to look into it.

They could/would prevent many heart diseases, but they’d be out of business...and $$$$$$$

Amen, GOP Lady - and thanks for the update South Texas. We must continue praying for VP Cheney.

If anybody in his office is reading this - please let VP Cheney know he is loved, respected, and prayed for here by many - including lurkers who are not posting.

Except that VP Cheney has a bad heart history and was given treatments and fitted with a device that was meant to “kick in” in case his heartbeat went irregular. Apparently that applied to the lower chambers, though, and recently he had started to develop blood clots, which is a sure sign that the upper chambers might not be functioning properly. So they’re going by his entire history and especially recent history, all of which cannot be accounted for by a reaction to taking cough syrup.

I know doctors in Britain are anti cough syrup remedies and have been for several years I wonder if that is one of the reasons that with some people it can have this side effect.

Good point but it does make me still wonder why British doctors are anti cough syrup and have been for quite a while.

consider taking toprol 25 mg 1xday. it works to maintain heart regularity and has no significant side effects.

why not appoint someone who is currently running for president? Rather than a spit bucket carrier.

I don’t think he would do that (favoritism). And I think few running for POTUS want to be known as Bush’s new veep, LOL!

Very common heart problem, most often caused by a pinched nerve between t2 and t3. Not serious.
