Pete, I hate this for you. I want you to convert right now! what is the

range of your rates? how is your bp? I would be having exactly the same

thoughts as you are, not wanting to go to the ER on a sat. It sounds to me like

you

are making good decisions for yourself, waiting to see how you feel after you

take your next round of meds...keep us posted. We are thinking of you. Sandy

P.S. I hope your Thurs. appmt with the EP will yield some positive results.

Sandy- Thanks so much for the kind words just hearing from you and

everyone else makes me feel better.

My rates have been between 85 and 110 so not too bad my bp is low for

me about 135/98 its been as low as 110/80.Last check 135/95.

I was hoping to ride this out even if I didn't convert at least until

the appointment thursday.

I hope to get some answers when I meet him. Armed with all the info

from people like you I will feel like I will at least know what he is

talking about.

I'll never forget when they first told me what I had I was confused.

I'll keep in touch.

Hope all is well with you.

Dear Pete,

I know how you feel! I have been experiencing fibs about twice a week

at about 12-16 hours at a time. So far I have converted by myself,

but each time I seem to be planning out my trip to the ER, and

decide I will wait a few more hours, and then I convert! I know what

you mean about saturday nights at the ER. The daytime Dr's seem to be

nicer, and the crowds thinner. Somehow things don't seem so

frightening in the daytime. This week I am on day 5 of NSR! Holding

my breath and rejoicing! Will say a prayer for you, If you don't

convert soon, possibly you will feel better going to the ER. When I

have gone in, they give me a shot, and I convert.

I take Toprol XL digitek and comadin. Have had fib for 15 years, but

it used to come only once a year. The passed year it changed to

several times a month, and now twice a week. Will talk to my cardio

at my next appointment about trying an anti arrythmic drug.

Blessings to you, and convert soon.
