An A Fib Episode last night

    Of all things, as I was comfortable in "my chair", starting to watch my movie episode on "Bolivar", I was "craving" some chocolate ice cream.  Got it, sat down again, ate it and immediately started having an  Atrial Fibrilation episode!
     I have not had an "episode" in almost 2 years from what I remember, so I really don't know what "triggered" it except some lifting I did with moving some music boxes around for several hours  the day before yesterday and sorting old music.  Who knows?
     Anyway, the "episode" hits me like I think I am having a heart attack.  I am never really in irregular heart "rhythm" unless I have an "episode" whereas AGustin can be in a fib without feeling anything much of the time I think.  We both take Eliquis!
     As the night progressed we took my blood pressure and pulse which was quite high and the pulse very high and irregular.  The "episode" makes me feel weak, chilly and just worn down completely.  I laid in bed and prayed.  I also took a metoprolol pill, low dose, after about 20 minutes which may or may not have helped.   Later I took my usual low dose Ativan and then, still not able to sleep, took my Tylenol because a little abdominal pain was joining the frustration!   I tried other recommended "solutions", like bearing down, but to no avail.   Just had to wait it out and, heaven forbid, not call the rescue squad or go to the hospital.   No way:):):)
     Lo and behold, I woke up several times during the night and finally, my heart was back into "rhythm".   Thank you Lord and thanks to my very faithful family for praying for me when I texted them very late at night.
      By the way, these "blogs" also help me keep track of health events in my life as I go through them.
      Today I am recuperating and tired, but thankful things are back on track for this old lady:):):)
