Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group

Lindy, the same has been widely reported by credible people, including physicians treating nutritional defects and deficits, that eating more protein, including animal protein, has turned around the metabolic problems in people with insulin sensitivity and who were often obese or nearly so. What they did was to avoid ingesting carbohydrates of all kinds, including alcohol, sweets, root vegetables, and grains. Also included were pretty much all prepared and processed 'foods'. My own daughter was deemed to be in metabolic disorder and was declared Type II only two years ago, at age 45. She immediately restricted her intake of carbohydrates, took metformin under direction, and has escaped her Type II onset. She is being monitored, but needs no insulin supplementation, lost 60 pounds, and was thereafter granted an ankle repair which the surgeon had declined to do unless she turned herself, and her lifestyle, around.

While it may be obvious that a pursued way of eating is harmful, the answer needn't be to give up animal products. It MAY BE, but it isn't necessarily the case that all of us can stand to gain by declining to eat the omnivorous way humans were intended to eat.

This is where you might wish to know more about what he/she knows. Obviously, something is amiss. Your heart is showing signs of an electrical disorder that is causing at least premature atrial complexes, maybe some supraventricular tachycardia, maybe some ventricular problems....and he/she thinks that you should have more frequent monitoring than what you can get with an office visit.

The device is commonly called a loop recorder. They are commonly used for short periods, sometimes longer when the need is great, to develop a continuous and lengthy data-set of one's cardiac electrical activity. They don't get implanted unless there is sufficient concern and urgency that not knowing their output might put you at unnecessary and unacceptable risk of mortality, or maybe only permanent heart damage.

Hi, new here. Have had AFib for years and last summer fleccainide stopped working and was put on amiodorone and told I needed an ablation. On a list for probably February. Had a “routine” echo two weeks ago that showed mild pulmonary artery hypertension. This is scary- dr has not gotten back to me yet about this. I’m wondering if the amiodorone is causing this??? (Also had a cat scan the same day and no results from that yet)

IF you don't feel well....generally...you may need a diagnostic run on your pacemaker. Their settings sometimes need tweaking, and maybe that's where you are. Consult your cardiologist or electrophysiologist.

Thank you gloaming. I had my Pacemaker tweaked today after fainting at home, I feel better already.
