On Tuesday, April 12, I had a second direct current cardioversion.
That's a good thing, as my heart rate was back in the 100's.
Another good thing is that I had contacted the doctor about an issue with a new medication he'd prescribed after the ablation.
On that office visit to talk about an alternative Rx he found my heart rate to be unacceptable and had scheduled the DCC.
Now, my heart rate is in the 40's, which is a little slow, but far easier on my organs than one that's far too fast.

I'm also on a different anti-arrhythmia drug - Sotalol - that's easier on me, too, but is still doing its job of fending off A-fib.
All to the good!
Moral of the story: don't be afraid to ask your doctor questions about your treatment.

Absolutely. Wendell had a heart cath in Sept. He was told that he had a 30% blockage in the “widow maker” artery and that they would keep an eye on it. He continued to have pain in his chest & down his arm. He stayed on top of it and requested another heart cath that took place on Mar 30th. The blockage was at 80% & he received two stents at that time.

Faustina, I was unaware of your health challenges and hospital stays, and am so sorry to hear you have been going through all of this -- but i am glad to hear that it sounds like you have a responsive, caring team of doctors!
Looking forward to seeing you again sooner rather than later, and I hope your recovery and stabilization continues as smoothly and fully as possible!

Hey Tina, I'm glad you're asking all the right questions & the doctors are doing all they can and you're feeling better. Just for kicks & giggles, they did this thingy for Tony Stark on Iron Man where they put this thing on his chest that glows, I was thinking...nvm, just kidding! I'm glad you're doing better, stay healthy 🥰

Great advice! Glad to hear that things are better. Be well, be safe.
