I developed aFib in my mid to late 30s. It was very infrequent, maybe 1-2 times a year. At the time I didn't know what was going on. Typically, I would wake up in the middle of the night with a racing heart. I went the doctor but he could never diagnose it without me experiencing it while he was present. He advised that I should go to the doctor or emergency room whenever i was experiencing symptoms.

This went on for about 10 years. My wife and I joked that the best way to get it to stop was to drive through the parking lot of the hospital.

Finally I was able to get to my doctor while it was out of rhythm. Next thing I know, I'm in the back of an ambulance headed to UT hospital. I was officially diagnosed with Afib. This was around 2006 and ablations for afib werent really a thing. I was put on two meds and a aspirin.

As time went on, I gained 20-30lbs. The doctor said it wasn't the meds but I'm not sure what else would have caused my weight gain, as it had been stable for years. In response he asked if I ever had a sleep study. I said no, and he said I had sleep apnea written all over me.

He sent me to a sleep doctor where I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea with 59 stop breathing episodes in an hour. My cardiologist explained that studies had revealed sleep apnea is a major contributor to afib.

Sleep doctor put me on a cpap to which I didn’t tolerate it very well for various reasons. Sleep doctor sent me to an ENT where she worked on my sinuses and I eventually had my tonsils removed in 2010. These procedures cleared up my sleep apnea. In time my afib completely went away. I experience zero sleep apnea now and are totally off all meds.

Have you ever been tested for sleep apnea?

I have mild sleep apnea and my sleep sucks. If I go to sleep wit 8 hours planned, I only record 6 hours of sleep. CPAP didn't help. Your tempting me to get the deviated septom surgery.

God has a way of putting things in front of you at just the right time. My wife is in her early 40s and has been hit with rapid heartrate and high blood pressure issues the last couple of weeks. She's had an ambulance ride to the ER, two visits to the cardiologist (wearing a monitor for a month), and a full work-up from her primary care physician this week. It has really interrupted our lives and her work and still no solid answers yet. This conversation about heart issues has definitely given me some additional ideas to share with her. Glad to he a part of this great community.

There are no juggernauts in SEC baseball this season.last night only 2 favored teams won and a lowly South Carolina team has won a series over Missouri..

Mizzou also lowly.

UGA looks like the best team to me. Similar makeup to previous Vols teams with that offense. We’ll see how the rest of that series goes but this is why SEC baseball is awesome. The one true sport where the conference is the best.

But a bunch of talking heads in here have said our baseball team sucks and we can’t improve. So we we’re the worst team in the SEC according to some on here.

Honestly don’t know what it is but this pitching coach just doesn’t have the feel frank had!…frank knew when to pull and he also knew when a mound visit was needed..he was just very in tune with his players mechanics.only time I ever seen him mess up is when he brought rocker in that cost us a world series run..i didn’t like bringing a freshman in there under those circumstances..beyond that dude was a guru.

I guarantee you Frank and Tony made plenty of wrong decisions about whether or not too leave a pitcher in our not or which pitcher to go to I the bullpen.

We should've took the series from LSU, Georgia and Vanderbilt...just a few mistakes and pitching issues but the wins were there for the taking...
