This is by far the most informative and the best video on a fib I’ve ever seen !
You probably dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Lucas Abraham instablaster ;)
@Easton Benson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Easton Benson it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Lucas Abraham no problem :D
I appreciate your professional skills and kindness sharing the video with kindness and respect.thanks
Best ever info I have had on this ailment. Thank you!
My dad just got diagnosed with this. Thanks for this video.
had episodes since i was 10 and didn’t know what it was. It wasn’t until I was 26 that we were actually able to catch it as they got worse. Had ablation done not long after and spent a few years in fear of doing any physical activity. fast forward 6 years later I haven’t had an episode and back to heavy cardio activity again. I wouldn’t wish this disease on my worse enemy as it’s crippling. For those that are still fighting it stay positive through your episodes as hard as it may be. ❤
I am having this same like you still untreated 😢
Most informative video. Many thanks to the people responsible 🙂
Excellent introduction to afib. Would be nice if this were more available to people who get diagnosed or when the tech says, just a bit of fibrillation, after moving leads around saying "is not supposed to do that."
Good Explanation
Great video! Thank you!
Best video on this!!!
You should always ask your doctor to check your magnesium. Magnesium is a part of a therapeutic correction to this condition.
How is that? Never been mentioned to me or any of my family members or clients with afib. Do you have a study or article showing the link? If know that electrolytes matter, but why magnesium specifically? Thanks
I am actually taking a magnesium supplement. In addition to 50000 units of VitD a week.🌞
@@laurametheny1008 I take 400 mg per day… sorry for the confusion.
@@shelleysolin6867 it would take me hours to explain the physiology of magnesium in reference to heart health. At my last count, magnesium has about 350 benefits. You should Google and read some of the studies.
@@laurametheny1008 50,000 units of vitamin D3 is a bit much. I’d stick between 10,000 and 15,000 units. 50,000 units could upset your stomach. Remember vitamin D3 is a hormone.
I have a pace maker. Does this help?
Something that should have been in this presentation is that someone diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation should immediatley stop drinking ALCOHOL.
What is the relationship with Alcohol?
Definitely binge drinking, I have afib, 6 cardioversions and finally an ablation. I'm doing well and still have a couple drinks a couple days a week, I realise it won't work for everyone, but I also exercise daily, stay hydrated and try to eat good. I still want to enjoy life a little, prayers to everyone hope all goes well.

Thankyou! This has been mentioned by my docs for years and scaring the crap out of me. I have worn a holter for 48hrs a few times over this period, but nothing seems to happen til it shuts itself off. Surprise. Now my current Doctor suggested a holter that is worn alot longer. I have been having strange episodes of deep long coughs that turn into almost a fit. ? Idk how to explain it to someone. My hearing gets echoy and I get kind of whoozy. Then I start shaking. Last time it was really bizarre. I was sitting on bed and I just fell over and I felt like I had a mild convulsion. My head was snapping. No one around tho. So anyway if you see this and have any info to share , that'd be great. Have a good SAFE weekend. Thankyou🙏😷 ps it is weird that I found out later about the mag for AFib. They monitor me alot because my heart rate is always very fast. And we've been trying to catch the weird fluttering blurps that I have with a bolter but nothing happens until after it shuts off😕 Idk if the mag is helping yet. Not saying I have AFib or whatever. It's just surprising to me.

@@hollygolightly8048 Sorry. It's spelled holter according to my medical records.
Not halter but Holter monitor, named after Norman Holter, an American biophysicist.
@@hollygolightly8048 ... It's Holter. Named after a someone.
I would check out a couple other things. Have you had a sleep study (sleep apnea can be a precursor of afib). I also have had BPPV. Not sure what started it, but had a thorough test workup at the National Dizzy & Balance Center. Along with P.T. and fortunately I had the vertigo flare up while I was at therapy and the PT was able to do the procedure to correct it. A lot of your symptoms are similar to a vertigo attack for me. Some of the things that will trigger the vertigo as well as afib are dehydration which leads to an electrolyte imbalance, and lack of quality sleep.
Thanks for the great explanation
But is it possible that a mental situation can cause Afib? Specially in this time of the pandemic and the stress you have in the day by day change.
Growing up doesn't negate the physiologic effect of stress. Stress, any stress, actual or perceived, causes the release of the stress hormone, adrenaline. And adrenaline increase the heart rate, which can be a trigger for A fib. If you are having episodes of fluttering or pounding feelings in your chest a cardiologist can put a 24 hr monitor on you, send you home with it. My advice to anyone concerned, but not comforted by your physician's responses: get a second opinion. Many are concerned about making their doctor angry, or hurting feelings if they get second opinion. Your responsibility is to be a wise steward of your heart health. A secure doctor will support your decision.
Yes it absolutely can, i have narrowed down the trigger for an a fib episode and its a specific to interactions with a family member. By knowing this i am working on reducing acutely stressful situations.
Idk but I have episodes when I'm sleeping or sitting calmly on the couch and that doesn't seem to have anything to do with stress situations.
No. I have atrial fibrillation. When I lay down on my back quickly, it can trigger.
And what if you have no primary care physician? What if you have no insurance? What if you live in the one industrialized country that sells healthcare as a commodity instead of providing it as a human right?
You have no right to someone else's labor.
Every state in the union provides poor people with medical care.
Free health care for illegals. If you are not illegal, you are scrud.
@@Watchoutforsnakez 12 states did not buy in to the Affordable Health Care plan for the Medicaid portion.
@@Mauriciovargasjr but their employer has a right to their labor in exchange for money
It happens to me at random, so the doctors have never been able to diagnose it. High salt levels seem to trigger it. I have had 3 TIA's and I'm really worried about this.
High sodium is caused by low potassium, and since potassium sodium are electrolytes you are out of balance. I suggest a high fruit and greens diet along with a colon cleanse. The potassium will flush the excess sodium from the body as long as the kidneys are good. Eating the standard diet means high sodium low potassium, that needs to be reversed.

Buy Apple Watch 5 or 6. It will record full day of heart activity. It can save your life.
electrolytes defficiency over a long time also take a long time to recharge. Get Potassium and Magnesium from natural sources . You may need to supplement with high quality sources. See Dr Berg videos on the matter.
I wore a monitor 4 a week it showed up.Meds corrected it.
Good
I have Afib for two years ago yes I had a coughing that never stop I couldn’t sleep with this coughing ,was so out of breath.but feeling much better .prays for you all .xxxxxxx❤️❤️❤️❤️🦠😷
I had an episode yesterday. It was out of nowhere rapid heartbeat like a flopping fish in my heart. It only lasted about a minute. My blood pressure got low, but I went away fast. Scary. Im afraid to go to dr. because of Coronavirus. I hope I can successfully ignore it without consequences.I don't want to get coronavirus. Its horrible right now.
Same here
Doug Feehan My dr. Told me to get an Apple Watch. I did and one month later I had another episode and captured it on the ECG app. 90 seconds at 222 bpm! I went to emergency room and emergency room dr. Said the recorded episode was very helpful. it was diagnosed as super ventricular tachycardia. I get to take an ace inhibitor now.
@@Watchoutforsnakez How are you doing now ? I just had an episode with AFib on Sunday, I drove myself to the ER, and was given many doses of medication to get it to calm down. and medication to take everyday now plus a low dose aspirin. I have my 1st appointment with cardiologist on the 23rd I'm nervous. it feels like my entire life is turned upside down
@@mgansworth78 arjunarishta for heart
Low sodium, high potassium diet
Also Vitamin C has shown promising results in treating Afib
I hope you're doing well.
@@Watchoutforsnakez Were you ever dx with high blood pressure before this episode occurred??
Been.there
There are many portable defibrillator s now

There are three conditions that create symptoms doctors label as disease. Address those three reasons and the disease can be corrected. I cured my afib because it was a toxicity condition caused by a toxic colon creating malabsorption that created the afib.It was both a problem of toxicity and a problem of deficiency. Since it was corrected the condition has evaporated like rain off the sidewalk. All chronic degenerative disease has roots in the colon and digestion.
Please tell me how you did that! My a fib is getting worse I’m only 20 years old
I agree with you on colon and toxicity causing many issues but my a fib stems from open heart surgery which basically was a bit of a butchers job repairing a hole in it. This created scar tissue which in turn mucked up thr heart pacemaker
I agree.
Dam parasites that the USA Drs will not acknowledge .
I agree. I believe that I have finally figured out why I have had these totally debilitating attacks for over a year. My attacks{one lasting 11 hours} seem to be worse than what anyone has yet described. It is a lack of electrolites{magnesium, potassium, sodium} caused by chronic diahrea For a few years. I realize now that I have not been absorbing minerals. Now I must ascertain why the diahrea while I supplement my own liquid electrolyte mix.Blood tests are not always a good test as the blood will hold onto it last because it feeds the brain, while your organs can still be deficient.
i had this ,wolf Parkinson white syndrome,horrible
You got less than 8 years if you get a pacemaker. Stay healthy and stop smoking, drinking alcohol and drinking coffee people.
Pacemaker has nothing to do with reducing number of years. Pacemaker increases number of years. Pacemaker battery often needs to be changed after 10 years.
@@bilalraza4751 not sure what type of heart patients are getting pacemakers in your part of the world but the thousands of patients I took care of over a period of 37 years lived less than 10 years after receiving their pacemaker, some only lived 3-4 years. Maybe the people you know with pacemakers living longer than 10 years never needed one to begin with.
@@kristopherdetar4346 I live in Islamabad. The capital of Pakistan. It has Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology aka National Institute of Heart Diseases. I met Prof. Dr Azam Hayat. He is Professor of Cardiac Electricphysiology. MBBS, Diploma in Medicine, MRCP London, FRCP (London), FHRS (United States). A reowned cardiologist. I myself saw 2 patients who came to get the battery of their pacemaker replaced after 10 years had passed.
@@bilalraza4751 wonderful, but dear Sir that is NOT the case with American men. Maybe it’s the diet, maybe too much damage is done before pacers are installed on them. I’m passing along what I had witnessed over a 37 year career with cardiovascular bedside nursing. The men here are not living long after pacemakers are placed period. Thanks for your input.
@@kristopherdetar4346 stop the bs.

I have it permanently it’s fuking horrible
Did your doctor prescribe you a blood thinner and a beta blocker?
