I don’t believe doctors always practice what they preach either. Like someone else said they push max treatment as a CYA. Litigious world cause bad decisions. I like to be conservative with treatment especially since I’ve had so many really bad side effects from meds and complications from procedures.

@windyshores that's a really high HR that I’m sure is scary. I really don’t like when my heart rhythm becomes erratic. I can feel it start and speed up then put on my pulse oximeter and the normally smooth and consistent sine wave is all over the place crazy and inconsistent.

@californiazebra you mention erratic heartbeat. Is it atrial fibrillation? I have a Kardia , a small device that lets me know if it is afib. I believe smart watches will do that too. Or maybe you already know....
