        <title>Afib?  I&amp;#039;m not sure.</title>
        <description> I have been using the Wellue device to monitor my craziness as my EP instructed. Last night I had Afib pop up for the first time. I can&amp;#039;t really see it though and don&amp;#039;t want to really send it to the EP and be paranoid. I am an ER Nurse, so feel pretty good at rhythms. Obviously I am not suggesting anyone diagnose, but what do you think?  Would really appreciate your weigh-in before I send it in.

Do they offer getting on a cancellation list for sooner appointments?]]></description>

Glad you have this appointment. Have they let you know how his appointments work? You will be scheduled for a specific time but he fits his appointments into the breaks between procedures and since he doesn&#039;t know in advance how long a procedure will take, you may need to wait a bit to see him. But, the wait is well worth it!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ FWIW I showed half a dozen rhythm strips to half a dozen ep&#039;s, all at top 10 rated cardiac hospitals and got quite a mix of interpretations from afib to atach to flutter. So reading these strips can be subjective. Whatever is going on, doesn&#039;t look normal. <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Thanks Jim. I had another episode today that stated afib. I sent it to him and he said PACs and that was the end of the conversation. So, I&#039;ll keep on trucking and trying to pretend I feel okay.... This was the last one and the EP said not afib even though the monitor called it that. Sure didn&#039;t feel right, I know that. Thanks everyone for your input!!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ There is a lot of variability, quite obvious, between QRS complexes, so it&#039;s an arrhythmia for sure. I also see p waves , but some are very close to the preceding T waves.  I think it&#039;s PACs.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ The current EP doesn&#039;t even seem to think it needs to be treated. I&#039;ll wait to have my consult with Natale.  I go back and forth between wondering if I am over reacting, or too sensitive, and being frustrated that no one seems worried about such a high burden of ectopy/SVT. My old EP had a failed ablation attempt as well, but he at least seemed to understand that my rhythm wasn&#039;t normal and was affecting my quality of life. The new one just doesn&#039;t seem to care.]]></description>

When they looked at it before they said they should really look at it at night.  Since it is doing it in the daytime now, I assume the nighttime requirement goes away??]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ That&#039;s kind of a rhythm salad with a little bit of everything, including a lot of noise. I see the irregularity of afib but I also see P waves, and it varies a lot through the recording. I guess my best take on that would be sinus tach with a lot of ectopy.]]></description>
