New label for afib or flutter or SVT

I was exactly 6 months two weeks ER free until Friday night. It was over 100 degrees outside, maybe 112-115 degrees Friday and I was hydrated (10-12 glasses including coconut water and magnesium supplements and a banana) but apparently it was not enough considering my AC had broke and I was exposed to interior high temperatures at home for 3 hours while the repairs were being made. Why these flutter events occur only on Friday nights, or past midnight Saturday morning is a mystery. It was a pattern every Friday from last thanksgiving to 1-8-22 until I increased my sotalol.

I got a new ER diagnosis now. “tachydysrhythmia”. It says it all.

“tachydysrhythmia”.

Fancy term for a heart rate over 100 that isn't normal but we're unable to identify.

Maybe you need to find an alternative location you can seek out when it's that hot and stuff like this happens.

Yep, it is a fancy term:

“The ECG algorithm organizes dysrhythmias into four categories:

Narrow complex regular:
Sinus Tachycardia, Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT), Atrial Flutter (Aflutter)

Narrow complex irregular:
Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia (MAT), Atrial Fibrillation (Afib), Aflutter with variable atrioventricular (AV) conduction

Wide complex regular:
Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), PSVT or Aflutter with aberrancy or bundle branch block (BB

Wide complex irregular:
Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia aka Torsades de Pointes (TdP), Afib or Aflutter with aberrancy or BBB”
