I got stressed and overheated today and I think that's what triggered my SVTs -- sudden onset at 4:10 pm, beats per minute at 155. No real sign yet of slowing those beats per minute, although I did down a couple of low-sodium V-8 and sprayed Ancient Minerals Mg on my wrist pulse points, and put an ice pack on my head and then on my neck, and then on my face. My Kardia results confuse me, and I was wondering if the odd looking ecg are from user error (I'm new at it) or if my Kardia shows something that needs to be addressed asap. Thanks for any input. I cannot figure out Dropbox or Google docs with this rapid heart rate so I'm trying with imgbb.com at 6:15 pm: [ibb.co] a user error or a problem? [ibb.co] at 8:22 pm--making sure my thumbs and my knee were a bit damp [ibb.co] and an hour later, at 9:22 pm--making sure my thumbs and my knee were a bit damp [ibb.co] Thanks for taking the time to look, and thanks for any input. I'm hoping the wonky ones are user error--maybe I pressed too hard? Maybe I was off center from my knee, I don't know. It's now almost 3 hours since the onset. Im going to wait another half hour or so and then see if taking half of a Flecainide will help. Thank you so much!

It's now about 5 1/2 hours since onset. I have not taken the half a tablet of Flecainide. I'm thinking maybe I can just tough it out until my regular time to take my meds (incl my Flec) at 11:25pm.

Edited for another update: Happily, this reading looks good to me! This reading was taken about 20 minutes after my regular dose of Flecainide. I'm relieved, but tired.

Have you tried soaking your feet in room temperature/tad cooler water? It relaxes me. Not scientific advise at all but it helps me. I usually go into the shower and spray cold water with my handheld on my feet For a couple of minutes. You may want to download some biofeedback relaxation apps.]]> susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 29 Jul 2020 02:27:57 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,176287,176287#msg-176287 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,176287,176287#msg-176287
