Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group

Posted by Kanaaz Pereira, Connect Moderator @kanaazpereira, Feb 14, 2018

Welcome to the Heart Rhythm Conditions group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
Did you know that the average heart beats 100,000 times a day? Millions of people live with heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) which occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats don't work properly. Let's connect with each other; we can share stories and learn about coping with the challenges, and living well with abnormal heart rhythms. I invite you to follow the group. Simply click the +FOLLOW icon on the group landing page.

I'm Kanaaz (@kanaazpereira), and I'm the moderator of this group. When you post to this group, chances are you'll also be greeted by volunteer patient Mentors and fellow members. Learn more about Moderators and Mentors on Connect.

Let's chat. Why not start by introducing yourself?

There should be no problem with rising to void at night with a CPAP. My 94 year old dad has done it for 6 years now. I don't rise...at all (at 72)...I know, lucky me...but he has had to rise two or three times since he was in his early 60's. If uncoupling the hose bothers you, sit at your beside and empty your bladder into a suitable cistern. If you fall asleep again fairly quickly typically, I don't see that a CPAP machine should hinder that process. Not once you get used to the appliance.
