| Personal comments | I can't believe this is happening to me.
I was fine & dandy until late August. I was on vacation, it was a very very hot day and we'd been walking all over the place when I felt this
funny feeling in my stomach, and I felt my pulse to see if it was fast and it was skipping beats all over the place. I sat down and drank
two bottles of water and went on with my day and was fine. The second time it happened, a month later, I was coincidently in my doctor's
office and they did an EKG recording the fib. I corrected myself that time as well.
Now i seem to slip in and out of it easily. |
