Let's talk Afib for a second........
OK, so I know this guy who's had two "episodes" today.
All the sudden, his heart rate goes crazy like a massive shot of adrenaline, chest hurts, starts sweating, can't catch his breath, gets a little dizzy. Some minor shaking goes along with it.
the first episode this morning lasted about 30 seconds and them all the sudden, his heart goes back to normal all by itself but he still felt a little weak and a little tight in the chest.
Then about an hour ago same thing only worse, lasted over a minute. Afterward he went to the bathroom and lost his lunch.
His blood pressure yesterday was 130 over 92, borderline high. No medications.
He's not a hospital type guy but plans to go see a doctor tomorrow.
Question time: should be update his will or is it not that big of a deal?
