Jesus! Please take care!

You are one tough mo-fo! Keep on keeping on!

Hey Bob, hope you're alright? Please take care and get well soon!

Take it easy Bob. Hope things get better.

Hi Bob, I hope this was a planned cardioversion and you are back in sinus. I hope you are feeling better!

Ouch. I hope you're feeling better.

In case nobody asked, please stop doing that?!?!?!

Update: meds finished the job 5 hrs post shocks and now back to NSR, finally feeling much better again. Thank-you all.

Hopefully you'll stay in NSR, but if you need cardioversion again, ask for anesthesiologist involvement, no more respiratory arrests ;)

Thank-you. There was a team assembled for the planned cardioversion, including an anesthesiologist, RN, ECG tech, ER cardiologist, respiratory specialist and one other. I work for a medical device company, am knowledgeable. But my heart was being stubborn yesterday.

Whoa... Hope you don't make a habit of this, but cheers to the technology: keeping people alive!

There are millions of people on the planet that suffer from atrial fibrillation. I am being somewhat vocal (on several forums) to raise awareness. Many are not as willing to comment on their respective afflictions which has a major impact on their daily lives and families.

Bob, you are a good man.

How are you feeling?

Having suffered atrial fib myself and been through a cardioversion (luckily only once myself) as well as having a brother who had to go through an ablation procedure for the same, I really appreciate your work to raise awareness on this issue (and deeply sympathize with what you've had to go through.)

I hope you are doing much better now!

@nedifer - thank-you, new med regimen appears to be working though the side effects are ... challenging. Had a flutter ablation (right atrium) last year. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Hopefully you and your brother are also doing well. Stress is one of my triggers, listening to calming music a powerful counter measure.
