My story

Hello everyone, I am a 59 year old man and in march, 2011 I had a massaive heart attack. They said...They inplanted a Biotronik defib Lumax 540 vt-t and put me on meds and when I took my meds it would lower my blood pressure below 100/60 so we cut the meds back to nothing. 10 mounths later. I am in great shape work out everyday, eat healthy no stress and feeling good about life. Meet someone very toxic, (not blaming anyone) starting changing thing that I knew had to end. in two months of this energy I had a very crazy thing happen my fib went off and she said it look like I got struck by lighting. The doctor said thank God I had the fib or I wouldn't be here. My guestion is it possable that the fib could have went off by defaulf. blood pressure was 168/90 30 min latter. now is perfect at 119 / 78 and in that range everyday since.

Normally, exercise is only good for an ICD, as well as helping with a stronger heart, increased oxygen, a long list, but the bad thing in what you wrote, was a toxic relationship,, stress, depression, plays havoc on our systems, including electrical, which could lead to a shock if bad enough, certainly lead to higher blood pressure, you are probably on drugs to keep your heart rate low, same as me, but we can make our rates increase,, dehydration, low minerals, and yes, stress and anxiety over a long period, but I agree with ROBO,, learn some new breathing exercises, meditate, find fun things to do, laugh when you can, enjoy life, way to short as it is, and if we make incorrect choices that cause any anxiety or stress, bail out..... period.. just saying...

You know you're wired when...
