How old was he? Did he have other risk factors?

I get an abnormal rhythm on occasion. Sometimes just a few seconds off and on for a few minutes or an hour and then not again for weeks or a few years.

After 18 years of not really knowing what was happening I caught an abnormal rhythm alert while taking my blood pressure last month.

I told my doctor and he set me up with a portable heart monitor I'm currently wearing for a few weeks. It happens so infrequently I was worried it wouldn't happen while I had the monitor but I logged several events yesterday. Hoping it's just stress/anxiety and not more serious.

fifty, i don’t think his diet was the best but he ran regularly. His fucking doctor wound up killing him, if he’d just done to the ER he probably would have lived.
