The Holiday that Wasn't....
The Holiday that wasn’t Spoiler Alert! Did a lovely walk on Saturday 3 rd August – bagged a trig point (this is Suffolk, so nothing too dramatic) and then bagged tea and cake so all-in-all a great day. Probably got a bit dehydrated – who knows but drank a lot when I got in… Had a nice shower, blew my nose (HHT skin graft needs clearing from time to time) and then walked downstairs and noticed I was very breathless. Checked my pulse and my heart was desperately trying to go, or not go, into some sort of arrhythmia. Cried a lot but not for long. Basically thinking “Now ****ing what!?”. The heart lost the battle with the Afib and settled at about 100-110 beats per minute. I was worried about the SCAD so drove to local hospital and was given Digoxin in A&E. Seems they couldn’t give me IV amiodarone as I am already taking it orally. Digoxin did zero and I was told I would be admitted and seen by a cardiologist Monday...
