A while back I went to a Dr. at a hospital that had a partnership with the Mayo clinic. I got another referrel and went to the one in MN this time. I got thes same diagnosis again with more details than the first one. Of course the Dr. the referred me doesn't want to hear it.

I really don't want to get into it. It's not a great diagnosis. It's auto immune, not AIDS or ALS or a variety of other things but actually called pseudo auto immune at times. I really don't want to get into it but the jest of it was eventually there's a good chance I would get to the point of being too tired to breath. It's rare and if you google it shows really bad but that's almost all kids that had it when developing. Oh well, the way the ball bounces I guess.

Well, it hasnt been great, but it hasnt been bad.

Still taking metoprolol 25mg at night. The odd thing is, when i treat this like an inflammation issue, it seems to get better. the longest i went without an episode was 12 days, but it hasnt been permanent. taking the baby aspirin at night for instance seems to lessen occurrances

doctors are still frustrating, completely glossing over the fact since, this whole thing started, the ONLY thing that sets it off is lying down on my side to sleep. Caffeine, exercise(even getting my HR as high as 144 bpm), sex and even alcohol do not set it off(which is really odd since alcohol is supposed to be one of the biggest triggers for it.)

Ive lost 7 pounds since June 2, now being classified as simply overweight, as opposed to obese. but i dont think its enough weight loss to make this go away(if indeed it is a factor). i prob need to lose around 19-20 more pounds before that can occur.

ive now seen a cardiologist and two other doctors for second opinions. the third doctor is going to recommend me for the abblation process. my ulterior motive for looking into it is im hoping the doctor that performs the procedure will ask me a lot of questions and maybe just maybe one of my answers may clue him in as to if this indeed just simple afib or perhaps theres a physical cause

still only happens when im laying down on my side and if i lean forward i can sometimes get palpatations

So update: as i mentioned before, when i treat this situation like an inflammation problem it gets better. So, for shits and giggles, I took 975 mg of aspirin three times a day for 10 days. Yesterday was the last day, finishing the experiment. I discovered that
1) the palpitations all but went away completely
2) AFIB was not prevented, BUT it felt far less severe and could almost be controlled or even stopped by breathing techniques. AFIB was still only ever triggered when laying down.

Today, the first day not taking large aspirin doses, the following happened
1) palpitations returned
2) I had AFIB trigger while upright for the first time since April 25
3) it was specifically triggered during exercise, something that NEVER happened until today
Don’t know if the doctor is going to care when I tell him, but here’s hoping.

I also hear that improving dental hygiene can help and I have an appointment to get a deep cleaning for the left side of my mouth Aug 7
(Ironically, all this heart shit started the day after I had a deep cleaning of the right side of my face back on April 10)
