Medical conditions - Banana - 04-07-2005

What are yours?

I have paroxysmal atrial tachycardia. It's essentially an intermittent, rapid heart rate. It's shot up to 200 beats per minute before. It's happened for the past 15 years or so, but the first time it really scared me was New Year's Day, 2000. It shot up and wouldn't go down. After 8 hours of this, I called Jimmy and he tool me to the hosptial. When your heart rate is up that high, they don't fuck around, and within minutes, I had oxygen up my nose, EKG stickers everywhere, and an IV. They injected me with Adenosine, which essentially stops your heart for a millisecond, and converts the rhythm back to normal. It feels like a fucking car is on your chest. I've had to go to the hospital 4 times in total. The only time I worry about is when I am travelling.

When I first saw a pic of Banana my pulse quickened too. I suspect you were near a mirror.

I most likely have heart disease. Grandpe has had by-pass surgery and about 3 years ago day had a massive heartattack at the age of 44. He was brought back 9 times and thank god he is still with us today.

Really? I spent years thinking they were "panic attacks." A cardiologist confirmed that it was PAT. Essentially, everyone's heart has two valves that blood uses to go into the heart. It only uses one. But, sometimes, my heart decides to use both, which shoots an extra heartbeat into the heart, causing the double rate.

any chance this would cause extra blood to travel to the cock region? :mellow:

2nd.

happened to me twice in high school and once again about 4 years ago. I was beating on my chest like the guys in the SNL Da Bears skit trying to get it to slow down. I got to the hospital it was 180, and in the few minutes it took them to admit me it stopped. The fucking Dr. took 30 minutes to come around so I left.
Good to know this has a name.

I have asthma, but it's not even that bad. Had one asthma attack back in April of '03. That felt like I had a car on my chest....almost died from it because I had let it go on for 4 days before I was taken to the ER. I had no Oxygen in my blood. Thank God for those steroids and the nebulizer.

Oh, you have it alright. If having no heart is a disease, that is.

After having sex with my cat, I checked his pulse, because I'm a concerned pet owner. His heart rate was up to 130 bpm. I kinda freaked, until I found out that was normal for a cat. That pissed me off, cuz he wasn't putting anything in to it!

2nd with a bullet! I had to get that injection TWICE (neither of which worked) by EMT's when we called 911 because of my MAJOR irregular heartbeat.
Then went to emergency room where they proceeded to give me the 'paddles' to shock the heart back to regular. 3 FUCKING TIMES! Talk about pain- they increased the voltage each time. Didn't work either.
Eventually went away after I took (sup Clay) a major dump in the hospital.
Now, my heart sometimes does a quick double beat so to me it feels like it skips a beat (confirmed by my cardiologist it does not).
My pops died of his 2nd heart attack when he was 35. I'm 38... Huh

Wow. That's scary. And while heart disease runs in your family, I have been told that this condition is not fatal. Or dangerous (apart from the obvious stress from needing paddles :|)

Banana, Where are you going? I'm so lost here these days. I know nothing.
