If the subject is arrhythmia, I've got it too. I was diagnosed with it some 15+ years ago -- wore the monitor for a week, consulted with a cardiologist, who wanted to put me on beta blockers. My then wife, a DOM as well as MD, put me on a year-long regimen of truly nasty witches' brew potions and patent Chinese pills, along with extended bouts of acupuncture. I never did take beta blockers, which I hear limit your heart rate.
I still have the occasional flutter -- had one or two just now, in fact -- but they are fleeting and, thank God, rarely bothersome. I do try not to blow up or overexert, but at age 60 my motive is more comfort -- or the desire not to suffer -- than health consciousness. Indeed, I find the flutters occur more frequently when I don't ride; also, when I sleep poorly, as I did last night (up at 2 am for a rush project). My bro in law, 55, has had this problem most of his adult life. The cardiologists basically told him, "it's annoying but not dangerous," and he just lives with it. He plays agressive ice hockey and does things like build houses and keep 300M mile cars alive. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
