The HHT and Afib Athlete

Cryoablation feedback after six months All was going well until a few weeks ago when I had two episodes of fast heart rate which required a pill in the pocket intervention to calm down. I took that after 15 mins and it worked after 15 minutes. Luckily although I've been having fast HR episodes about 5 times per day none have lasted longer than 1-7 minutes.

I'm being so feeble about this, but I'm so depressed and scared by it.....  Actually, thinking about it a few days later I wonder if it was triggered by a hefty fall I had on my bike last week? It was 5 days before the first tachy episode. Several friends have said it might have been triggered by the crash, is that possibl
