I noticed a couple of weeks ago my heart suddenly started beating strangely. I went to the doc, and he told me I had atrial fibrilation, and was so concerned, he made an appointment to see a cardiologist. To make a long story short, a TEE and cardioversion took care of it on 2 July, but I had A-fib for 10 days, and I had all the symptoms – fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness, and just generally felt lousy. I hope it doesn’t come back. I’m wondering why it happened in the first place. I see the cardiologist again on Friday, and I’m hoping he can tell me something. One possibility is stimulants; the only stimulant I ingest is caffeine, and I drink a lot of coffee. Or I should say I used to. I cut way back a few days ago; I needed to anyway.
It’s ironic. I watch what I eat, exercise a lot, don’t smoke or drink, but still, I get ill. Another reminder that God is in control.
