Well, I do know you’re roght about that, because I have experienced arythmia (sp?) at least a few time since my heart attack.

It’s a very odd feeling that can’t be missed, kind of like a clock ticking at the exact wrong time, it seems to correct itself, thank God, otherwise I’d be back at the hospital.

And yeah I am definitely glad I’m still here...all except for the bills I mean!

Don’t worry about the bills, they can eventually be paid. But if you are getting that “odd feeling” such as you described, you really need to see your cardiologist ASAP! Arrhythmia can be dangerous and life threatening especially for someone who has suffered a previous heart attack. Do me and yourself a favor and call your cardiologist first thing Monday morning and make an appointment. Please!

It’s been quite some time since I experienced that, I’d say at least one year. I did tell him of this during a previous visit at which point he put me on carvaedilol twice per day. Also, I just completed a stress test on the treadmill 1.5 weeks ago, cardiologist read the results and said they were perfect, no anomalies.

Since my heart attack I have become a runner and a weightlifter, so I have completely turned my physical shape around. I still worry about the situation, no doubt, bc it runs in my family, my dad died of his second heart attack @ 64. I started on this track quite a bit earlier than he did. Personally, I blame new orleans food! but I look at it this way, when the Good Lord calls me home, I will have to go. Until then, I thank him for everyday, especially those past year #39.
