I wish I saw this video before my shift. I had a patient afib rvr. Long story short she was on a cardizem drip and was then given metoprolol 5mg. HR came down to 80s. Thank you for your amazing content
I'm 30. Just recently had my first ER visit. Left with metropolol 25 MG but I didn't take it without my pcp first checking. She advised not to take it for my blood pressure is already on the lower side
Went to ER with heart rate at 229. After two shots, converted back to sinus rhythm. Then for some reason my heart rate dropped to 30-40s. Last year my electrophysiologist put in a loop recorder. Im in the 30s almost every night while sleeping. I have had three episodes of SVT in the last four months. And while im awake im in the 40-50s. I was never told directly, was on paperwork, that i was diagnosed with SSS. Lisinopril and baby aspirin is all i take. Not an exerciser due to RA. Will not give me meds for fast heart rates because of sinus bradycardia. But still have symptoms and all this crap is real scary. Sorry to any others that suffer from these types of conditions. Thank you for this amazing video!
thank you for sharing information.. from a patients perspective the doctors at the er for tennova in north knoxville tn could benefit greatly by taking a few classes from you.. my heart rate was staying above 180 and blood pressure was up and down as well i was out of rythem for quite some time for the 12 hours i spent there and i was never given iv fluids and could only get some ice chips.. i only urinated once while there and it was very dark especially for me.. and i informed them.. i also told them that i had been having the same symptoms for more than 48 hours prior to coming in and that i had afib and had surgery for it a few years ago.. the first injection they gave me was to treat svt.. it did not work .. i could go on but basically thank you for at least giving the information out and hopefully someone there sees the video to help future patients
I'm on *Atenolol* to help control/prevent episodes. I get AFIB w/RVR, occasionally. And return to normal sinus rhythm after many, many hours (sometimes couple of days). And although AFIB is generally uncomfortable, and an inconvenience even, my heart rate stays consistently *low* from the beta-blocker, and keeps it from feeling too chaotic. I sleep better, as well.
I went Afib-RVR out if nowhere, no drug use or ETOH abuse. Healthy, other than hypertension controlled by a low dose meds, no cardio issues and some stress and PTSD. They hit me with adenosine twice, cardizem twice and then a cardizem drip overnight and I “self converted” while out. They also hit me with dilauded and Xanax twice that night. Not even 40yo. Any thoughts?
Not a smoker, diabetic or overweight? Any family history? I’m about to graduate nursing school so I’m just curious. That’s interesting, not unheard of, just not common. AFIB is the most common cardiac issue tho!!
What was your heart rate? I just had the same thing happen to me 3 days ago. 180 BPM. Waiting to see a cardiologist. Terrified I almost died or might die any moment.
HR was 197. Technically overweight but more a muscle mass issue. Non diabetic and no family history. Final diagnosis was “one time freak event” with the comment about COVID and a vaccine being a possible factor but the cardiologist could say that “officially”

Very very helpful for a new ER nurse like me, thank you very much!
Doing the lord's work- THANK YOU
Flecainide, but also propafenone, even amiodarone in an emergency. For rate control, bisoprolol, metoprolol, diltiazem.
Awesome content and in depth clear explanation. Thank you!
Great video!! I'm in ER now with Afib RVR.

@@JamesIronSights I had a similar experience - however my afib has recurred so it was not a one time thing for me unfortunately
