I just got out of the hospital yesterday. I had received 32 appropriate shocks during a VT Storm. It was terrifying. 

What was your VT storm like? Or shock storm (inappropriate shocks)?

VT Storm

by Hamsquatch - 2017-12-06 21:31:49

I was diagnosed with VT storm July 2016, I wasn’t really sure what was going on I feel like over a two day period I had 3-4 then on day 3 I had about 5 within a two hour period and called 911. Was hospitalized for 2-3 days while starting amiodarone. My device was set for therapy at 170 but my VT maxed out at 166. 

Freaked my nurse out in the CCU when my heart rate dropped to 28. 

You know you're wired when...

You prefer rechargeable batteries.
