400mg of a high quality magnesium glycinate and a high quality vitamin D3. No caffeine or alcohol. Don't eat a late dinner. Stay hydrated.

Yeah. He just hit me with 100 joules. Most times it's 150 or 200. Mine was slight and he probably would have let go if I didn't have some other issues. Straightened right up. I've got a few itchy spots on my chest but that's all. He's got me on Tambocor (flecainide) and doesn't expect any issues. Will go back to see him in a few months. Thanks for the thoughts guys. Glad the "shock treatment" went well.

I remember when i was being taught about working with electrical stuff. The guy teaching me said "when you are working "hot" always look behind you because at some point you are gonna get knocked on your ass and don't want to end up on something bad."

Electric makes me nervous. Had some power lines come down by my house once. They were whipping around and striking arcs everywhere. I’ll never forget that sight

If my memory is correct them switchgears was 17,700 volts.

My wife went through all that. First they tried to treat it with drugs. Then the cardioversion. Finally the ablation, which worked for about 2 years. Now she's back in afib and just living with it. Good luck, Robert! Took a second ablation for me to stay out of AFIB.................been two years now
Good to hear, mack. Dr. told my wife that he burned so much in the first ablation that she couldn't have another.

Well my heart rate settled in at 48-55 and my blood pressure is holding in the 112/70 range.
Doc said to stop taking Lopressor as of tonight. I'll monitor the next few days and see where those two settle in at after 48 hours.
Felt pretty good today. A little tired but felt good.

Glad to hear you are feeling good, BP is great, BUT Isn't the heart rate a bit low? My heart doc says 75 is optimal. Hope things even out.

Those are great heart numbers. You must be doing some cardio workouts to keep your heart rate that low
I’ve been taking lopressor for about 20 years. Even when I was in great shape my heart rate was too high

Glad to hear you are feeling good, BP is great, BUT Isn't the heart rate a bit low? My heart doc says 75 is optimal. Hope things even out. HR is low. Doc wants it in the 65-75 range. He'll be happy with BP around 120-125. When I came out of surgery my HR was fluctuating between 43 and 190. They kept me in the hospital for several more days debating about placing a pacemaker in me. They had me on an external pacemaker. It finally settled down. I am not a big exerciser. Active but not actively exercising. I'm looking forward to reducing the blood thinners. I look like an old man with all the bruises on my arms.

Good to hear everyone is doing well and moving along, but is this what I have to look forward to in 20 years if I live that long?
