| Personal comments | first episode occured after not eating all day then
grabbing a snickers bar just before officiating at a high school fooball game. AF started during second quarter and was transported to hospital. was injected in the ambulance and had conversion. Don't recall the drug. was misdiagnosed at hospital and had second episode 2 months later, natural conversion to sinus rythem after 24 hours. Have had two episodes since, one 2-3 hours the other 5-6. Normal conversion without medical assistance. |
