Had my yearly visit with the electrophysiologist yesterday. Despite the issues I had in the past couple months, all he could really say is that if my medicine helps or works, keep everything as-is unless it gets worse. Aside from a slight valve leakage and minor A-phib, what I have is benign and not cause for real alarm. Just ride out any episodes as long as they don't last past eight hours at a time.
Of course my mental state is a primary culprit concerning the out-of-rhythm episodes, so my greatest challenge will be finding a way to keep my focus away from my breathing and heartbeat. easier said than done. I sit as I type in yet another episode of A-phib, unable to sleep at all so far.
