    A Fib Drama

    I know this happened a long time ago, but how did it go? I was heading to work the other night, and my heart started feeling very weird. Luckily, I am an RN on a cardiac floor so when I got to work, I listened to my heart, and heard it was very irregular, and tachy. Again, luckily I work on a cardiac floor, so my co-worker hooked me up to the ECG which read A-Fib. After speaking with one of the residents, I went down to the ED. Like your heart rate, mine went as high as 171, then down to 60. Also like you, my heart converted to NSR on its own. The whole episode lasted about 8-9 hours. I have not had any problems since that night. The only thing my blood work showed was my K was 3.2 (normal is 3.5 - 5.0). So I'm thinking that could've been the cause. It's been a couple of years for you, did yours completely resolve? Did you ever find out what caused it? Thanks and I hope all is well with you!
