My husband had cataract surgery back in June. When the second eye surgery was done, he went into Afib.
The doctor's office called an ambulance and he was driven two walkable short blocks to the ER.
He spent 10 hours in the waiting room and finally, they admitted him to the observation unit. He spent 2.5 days there with meds until he was out of Afib and they sent him home.
Well, he went back into Afib within a week or so and had Cardioversion on Wednesday. Yesterday, He was back in Afib again. Less than four whole days later.
He doesn't see the Cardio doctor until August 1.
He is really upset. He has no medical history of anything, is healthy and is at a good weight. Blood work is normal. Chest xray normal.
I called the Cardio doctor, but they will have to call me back....appointments are hard to come by. I hope he can get in soon and this gets fixed.
I hope that he gets and stays out of Afib. He has never been sick before and is annoyed and grouchy. I feel helpless.
Maybe if you can offer a few prayers, it will help. Thank you.
