We went in to see my Cardiologist today and I am in much better shape than I was heretofore told. I am not in Afib!

When I went to my cardiologist, the first thing she did was have me take an EKG. The EKG showed that my heartbeat is normal – and strong – although with a slight additional blip. It is an APC of some sort; APC stands for a group of Atrial Premature Complexes, which doesn’t sound very good to me but, according to Healthline; Premature beats are common and usually harmless. What I think happened is that, after I was shocked, my heart returned to normal, the cardiologist watched my heart on the display for a couple of minutes, she saw that it was normal – with the APC – and went out to the waiting room to tell Michele. She then went back to her office. Back in my room, the computer told the nurse that I was in Afib and, knowing that the trace on the screen wasn’t entirely normal, passed it on to me and my cardiologist. It may not be optimal normal, but my heart is no longer in Afib, apparently, no matter what the computer says.

I’m not going to elaborate because it is dinner time and I want to get this out ASAP. To be continued….
