Question, please help? I'm confused!

[Guest guest]

I just came home from the cardio, after a month on an event

monitor,during which I had one brief (10 beats) of a fib.Doc never

told me the monitor recorded all the time, I just thought when I had

one, hit the button, so I had a few that I missed while I was driving

and couldn't hit the button. Anyways, is there such a thing as a

little afib? The doc says some people are more asymptomatic and notice

afib more.He said some people can be in afib and not know it. Whew!

God Bless them, because when I have those 10 beats, I'm starting to

black out and I hate the dang feeling. I've had this thing as long as

I can remember. I also have mild mvp and rbbb.

This is the freakiest thing. I asked about magnesium, he wanted to

check my blood tests to see if I was low in that. He said my heart

sounded fine.What about this Noni juice stuff, any good? Any help

would be appreciated. Thanks! Debbie

Debbie - there is apparently a whole world of people out there who do not feel

their afib, and " discover " it by going to the doctor for some unrelated issue.

Sometimes these people get a little short of breath, or feel a little more tired

than usual, but thats all they feel (and they don't know why)! These silent

fibbers are also in a much higher risk group for stroke until their afib is

diagnosed and treated.

And I think in terms of a little afib.. I think you either have it or you

don't... you can certainly be prone to very short durations (lucky you)

however.. that's certainly possible.

Can you tell me about this monitor you wore? Did you take it off to shower?

Is it big and bulky and all that? I've got a small monitor that I'm supposed to

put on my skin when I feel an event, but sometimes I have these mini-events that

come and go before I can even grab the monitor off the desk.. let alone get it

under my shirt and onto my skin. I'm in a clinincal trial and after March 12 I

have to show three documented afib events in order to qualify for a

Cryoablation, so I'm wondering whether a full time monitor might be a better

option for me.

thanks,

Stef

I have had about three of these " little " episodes " 15-20 beats since

July, when I had my last longer afib event of about four hours. I also

swear by magnesium. I used to have many longer and more severe attacks

before I started taking it. It took a good three months for it to

relly kick in though. Good luck to you.
