Thank you. I am new to Afib, I had a few incidents, then a huge trauma pushed min into constant AFIB with very bad tachycardia. They jumpstarted my heart a few days ago, got it back to normal, but it is starting to slip in and out of afib again. Glad to know there is some hope for me.
I had my third synchronized cardioversion about a month after I posted this video. It proved successful, and I was able to backpack in the Grand Canyon last December. I continue to hike and kayak now. I use the oximeter from time to time to check if my heart is still in sinus rhythm, which was confirmed by an EKG at my cardiologist's office just last month.
@Michael Innovo is great.... Now at a all time low on Amazon at $19... If you can wait a month, order an oximeter (with PHLETHYSMOGRAPHY - very important) - for around $5.
Thanks for the video... Hope you're back to normal heartbeat now... My heart is perfectly normal. I just wanted to know what an irregularity would like on a pleth.
@Michael I also bought Innovo Deluxe after I left my earlier message... but I was one of the unlucky ones... My SpO2 is 98-98% (confirmed by arterial gases)... and Innovo kept telling me 91-92%.... I threw it away and got a refund... I have Ameno which is pretty accurate and has a pleth... I may buy Innovo again and hope it's as great as everyone else is saying... Peace!
@Michael Are we to assume that the complainant (@Ex Deus) deleted their comment? I have a "no name brand" _Omron look-alike_ oximeter ($17) with a similar sphygmographical digital display as yours, and an associated "beep" that's coupled with an adjustable alarm to warn if my heart rate goes below 35 BPM. It's very useful if I want to rest/meditate briefly, as I can track my heart rhythm through the audio with eyes closed. I rate the gadget very highly and most useful. I can of course sense that my heart is beating irregularly immediately (after 15 years of AFib episodes months apart), and it's been confirmed with EKG at my Cardiologist's clinic. I experience typical symptoms of breathlessness, poor endurance on stair climbing, aching muscles in legs and jaw, poor temperature control & clammy skin 😑. All that goes away when NSR returns, which is confirmed by my Omron BP Monitor (it has irregular heart beat icon display), and the cheap Oximeter's display. I use it to regulate my dosage of Beta Blockers when AFib returns.
Thank you for showing this. Mine is doing the same thing except I have like 40-50 skipped beats a day where it feels like my heart is shutting down and restarting. Should I be extremely concerned? I really need someone to answer this. I can't get proper insurance nor the right doctor.
Minneapolis Heart Institute can fix ya up ! the laser procedure on my heart fixed me right up and I was unable to even mow the lawn before , now I am doing ranch chores like someone in their 40's could do
I have had my heart shocked twice to get me back in regular rhythm. Both times it went back into irregular rhythm after a brief time. My daughter has Atrial fib also and she has had ablation done three times. It seems to be working now so hopefully it will stay I. Regular rhythm
I had Paroxysmal AFib although my contact with the health care provider just focused on my blood pressure. Don't take diuretics' if you have AFib. After 4 months of contact with health care professional I got them to order a complete metabolic panel. Very high serum calcium, very high urine calcium, and of course the follow up: Very high parathyroid serum levels. The adenoma was removed after the Pandemic elective surgery shut down result: the AFIB was gone. The calcium levels back to normal. I eat a lot more potassium rich foods then I used to. Have some tachycardia once in a while but the dissolved oxygen stays normal. I suspect this correlates with digestion and timing of meals. No breakfast before exercise now. The timing at the other end of the GI tract is also very important.
I was just diagnosed with a-fib. I'm very worried and would appreciate some feedback from you. I think they're going to try and treat it with medication, but I'm very nervous about the possibility of needing a shock procedure. Pray for me, and I'll Pray for you or anyone else with this condition . BLESSINGS
Initially my a-fib was controlled with medication. Since them, I have had four synchronized cardioversions (shock procedures) and two ablations. My heart is once again back in a-fib, but my cardiologist is not planning another procedure as long as I feel I can still hike and kayak. I would not be nervous about undergoing another shock procedure. I am currently planning another Grand Canyon backpack in February even though I am still in a-fib.
@@newytacc9447 I have been fortunate that my latest bout of a-fib has not caused as much fatigue as earlier bouts. Also, my cardiologist keeps me on a low dose of beta-blocker, such as Metoprolol or Sotolol, so I don't get as light-headed with exercise as I would with a higher dose. I continue to hike regularly, which has helped increase my stamina. I think it has been helpful to have a cardiologist who is also a hiker, and who can relate to what I am going through.
@@newytacc9447 My heart rate tends more towards bradycardia. It was ranging from 40 to 50 beats per minute when I checked it now while seated, but gets into the normal range once I move around.
I would like to know the exact brand,model,name,price and where to buy it from as the one you are showing. I've seen alot these being called different things.
This is an Innovo Finger Pulse Oximeter, INV-430J/PE. When I was looking into these several years ago, they were available from Walmart.com, Amazon.com, and directly from Innovo, with the prices pretty much the same. I ended up buying mine directly from Innovo, which offered free shipping. You should be able to Google these for the price. I just recall it being under $100, and I believe the price has gone down.
I'm not sure that I understand your question. My heart rate gets above 100 beats per minute with strenuous exercise, but my cardiologist said that the heart monitors I use when exercising may not be accurate because of my a-fib. At rest, my heart rate can easily drop below 50 beats per minute.
My HR goes from the 40's to 100's consistently. I never have a resting HR. I'm waiting on a cardiologist appointment, but it's not until next month 😞 . I have PVCs with a 10% burden. Does anyone have any advice? Please....
I'm afraid that goes beyond my personal experience. I have been fortunate that my heart rate has been described as "good" by my cardiologist, and thus far have avoided the need for a pacemaker.
Thanks for replying. I'm in the process of getting answers. I'm finally seeing a cardiologist. I really appreciate this video. I can relate to it. God Bless you.
Can you feel when you are in afib? I have so many questions bc I have svt. Questionable afib but my hr gets in high 150s and stops and starts and skips and so on
After living with on-and-off a-fib for over a decade, I can't really tell anymore if I am in a-fib. I rely more on using the oximeter, or getting an EKG at my cardiologist's office. I feel occasional flutters, but am not always sure if that is a-fib or just my heart beating fast.
@@aldoni5937 Left untreated, a-fib has the potential to be dangerous. I take my prescribed medications regularly, and follow my cardiologist's recommendations. As my cardiologist is also an active hiker, he understands my continuing to be an active hiker and kayaker.
It is still working well, although I do not use it often anymore. It helped diagnose my heart having gone back into a-fib, before an EKG confirmed it. I will be have my second ablation next week to hopefully correct the issue.
YouTed777 I bought one on amazon. Works well. I was diagnosed having pac and pvc. I have them a few times per day. I used to have them all day for the past couple of years but they seemed to have diminished. Good luck with the procedure. It’s annoying to live with heart issues. Please let me know how it goes.
@Robert Williamson Yes unfortunately that's life. I will say that I took this oximeter with me to the ER once and it's spot on accurate. So I'm pretty happy about that.
@@markjching Hm, it did have some issues for me. Showed my brother only had 68% oxygen today, even though he and it was fine when we measured it again and his blood pressure. And for me, it started showing weird weak/low heart beat stuff since 2-3 days, which wasn't case before and same for my mom. I have no idea what's wrong with it now and the doctors didn't find anything wrong yet.
@@Chizuru94 I actually have two, one is this model and the other is the more expensive Masimo MightyStat. I can compare and see which is more accurate, but overall they’re very useful.
In this case my only physical symptoms were fatiguing more easily when exerting myself, such as quickly running out of breath when hiking uphill. At other times I would feel something odd going on with my heart. Without a device like this or my cardiologist's diagnosis, I was never sure if I was in a-fib.
I don't know either if I am on a fib that cause my anxiety or anxiety cause an afib because if I feel dizzy I just take my psyc pres cribed med xanor(xanax) and my dozzines is gone would like to take another ECG test while I'm on xanor to determined my fast heart rate do you have your echo cardiogram? It is advisable you do so
@@cristoverdelapaz I think I am so accustomed to any symptoms any more that I hardly notice them. About the only thing I have noticed recently was my heart racing and a slight feeling of light-headedness after a hard exertion.
That looks like a totally normal pulse ox, with someone constantly moving their hand. Where was the afib? What did your cardiologist say about this video? You are going to scare people that are totally fine. You cannot diagnose any condition using pulse ox.
My cardiologist was the one who recommended purchasing a finger pulse oximeter with a plethysmograph display so that I could tell when my heart had gone back into a-fib, as I was no longer recognizing physical symptoms. Eight months earlier I shot a video showing what a normal sinus rhythm looked like on the same device after my cardiologist had confirmed that my heart rhythm was normal (now linked in the description of this video.) I shot this video shortly after an EKG in my cardiologist's office confirmed that my heart had gone back into a-fib. You are correct in that the heart rhythm appears normal at times. However the smooth up and down waves intermittently become jagged, suggesting an irregularity. The hand shaking is due to trying to show the device on one hand while holding the camera with the other hand. It was not meant to be a professional video.
He did not recommend a 2 - lead ECG? Waveforms are terrible at determining sinus rhythm. Plus whenever any normal breathing human being inhales, the pulse can increase by 10-15bpm, and then drop by 10-15bpm when you exhale. It takes pulse oximeters forever to catch-up with the count so it can freak people out. Glad you are ok though. Certainly not trying to argue on the internet. ❤️ I just see a lot of cardiophobia on RUclips.
@@jchan2945 Again, you are correct in that there are better devices for indicating normal or irregular heart rhythms, which my cardiologist may or may not have been aware of back in 2016 or 2017 when he suggested a device like this. I had no intention of scaring anyone; I just wanted to document what I was experiencing.
Won't a regular pulse oximeter show one is in AFIB by simply watching the resting pulse rate raise and lower? I have a regular pulse oximeter I use regularly because of heart valve issues discovered after having COVID in January (moderate/severe regurgitation in both mitral and aortic valves). I just had a Cardiac MRI and am awaiting the results (suspected myocarditis). I have had chest pain, shortness of breath, and bouts of overwhelming sleepiness at times, but at least 50% of the time I feel OK. I have only recently noticed that my resting heart rate while using my pulse oximeter goes from 60 to 72 or so...up and down sometimes for a short amount of time, sometimes for a couple of hours and just read that this is a sign of AFIB! I have also been having problems with low 02 off and on when I lie- it gets down to 87 at night several times a week. I am seeing a pulmonologist and was told for my age (68) my lung function is essential normal. My cardiologist does not seem concerned about my low 02 (!), but now that I suspect I am having paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, I am suspecting the two are connected.
When you see the heart rate on the oximeter swing wildly, that definitely needs checking into as to why. For example after wearing for about a minute and then watch it for about another minute. If you see it range within plus or minus 10, probably not an issue. However, if you notice wild swings, say it shows 40, then jumps to 80, down to 50, up to 110, you probably want to get checked out for arythimia.
@@YouTed777 Well that's a bit depressing. I've had A-fib on and off over several years, but no surgery so far, just using Beta Blockers. They say it gets worse as we age. Have you tried another ablation yet?
Not necessarily. My a-fib has been described as slow. I have always tended to have a slow heartrate, particularly slow with the beta blockers I have been taking to try to control my heart rhythm.
My RHR was around 90 when I was in afib as indicated by an uneven wave form on my pulse oximeter (PO) and confirmed by EKG. After shock cardioversion six weeks ago I was back in normal rhythm with a very smooth, even wave form on my PO, a RHR around 60, and feeling much better. I've now slipped back into apparent afib with an uneven wave form on my PO similar to before my cardioversion and a RHR of mid 70s. I'm awaiting an appointment with my doctor to confirm it by EKG and we'll go from there.
