Four hours to bury the cat?

Yeah, damn thing wouldn't stop wiggling about and yowling. It wasn't at all well and we were going away for a fortnight. Who wants to come home to a dead cat?
Hello, Mrs. Cutout!

Buy the DVD set!

thus my "irregular heartbeat"



Sort of, ventricular fibrillation is usually something that happens in conjunction with palpitations of the entire heart muscle but can happen all on it's own. Those naughty lower left ventricles can seem to have a mind of their own, the scamps!

Wait, wouldn't your heart eating broccoli be a good thing? Lots antioxidants in the green stuff...

That's good news but pretty typical. PVC's, according to what I've read, are unlikely to cause damage unless heart disease is also present, then it can exacerbate the condition. Try what I do, I just do light exercise now, like walking and slow swimming. I cut out weight training a couple of years back too, switching to Tai Chi Chwan to maintain muscle tone. Hey, 3 billion Chinese can't all be wrong, yes?
Good luck!

I wonder if the "bubbly" sensation might be due to PVCs.
PVCs are extra electrical impulses arising from one of the cardiac ventricles, usually the left ventricle. It can feel like a bubbly sensation because the ventricle is actually fluttering in an irregular manner.

EKG is usually not indicative for detection of palpitations, mostly due to the mechanical and physiological delay involved.

I find it's usually worse if I lie on my left side (my usual position) so I've been training myself to sleep on my right.

Could be, stress can be one of the triggers or stress in combination with other things, like caffeine, after heavy exercise, potassium deficiency, etc.

Even sleep deprivation can cause it...

I totally agree with you there. I am not my Father, I am me, right? Too bad that society in general doesn't seem to agree with us. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree..."

EE, I have the same condition and my doctor prescribed Cartia XT, I've been on it for a couple of years and so long as I remember to take it (I'm terrible about remembering my meds), I have no problems. It's sustained release, so you only have to take one every 24 hours.

Everyone? Not so sure about that. Still I was just speculating, in any case. Maybe his descendants, like you, don't really care anymore because of the passage of time, etc..

Not really, out IT Dept. has been jumping since 8 AM, it's only now slowing to normal cruising speed.

What about his family? They had been living under the shadow of having a "convicted" rapist and murderer as a relative. At least now that his name has been cleared, they no longer have to live with that stigma attached to the family heritage.

You sure got that right!

This morning around 11 - shower

I was given a prescription for that same stuff early last year after a neck injury. I researched it on the web and decided that I'd rather have the pain. I had a long weekend coming up that Spring and I went cold turkey. Not pleasant but I did it.

Still have 4 left in my medicine cabinet but I'm not sure how to dispose of it properly. Don't think that flushing it will do the environment much good. Next time I go to the Pharmacy (tomorrow) to drop off a refill, I think I'll ask the Pharmacist if they know what I should do with them.

Shower if uninjured, hot bath with Epsom Salts if I'm hurtin'.

For you Monty Python fans, BBC America is having a Monty Python Marathon all day today.

Fixed that for ya.
