My waking HR was 109. It's been high since weds night. Im going to go see a doctor

Good idea mate. Best to get it checked. What's your resting HR?

it's between 50 and 70 now. but long story short i had to go to hospital (gp send me there) b/c there was a problem with my heart shown on the ECG, showed a flutter pattern. GP called me an ambulance and i spent a night at the hospital. Magically my heart went into sinus in the morning and they discharged me that day. Im on beta blockers and blood thinners now so i cant play contact sport anymore. No basketball for 5 months. Cardiologist wants to do an ablation. Im not sure i want that but he knows better i guess. so idk. never had surgery before.. bit scary.

wtf. fuck man.

as for cardiac ablation etc -> 2nd & 3rd opinions for sure.

I've had some pretty scary heart palpitations as well, but 3 years ago, before I quit that job that had me pulling all nighters & just stressful af.. I'd try going to sleep and my heart would be racing, felt like I was going to have a heart attack. Happened quite frequently towards the end, thought I was going to die. Unlike you (i'm not as smart), I didn't go to the doc or anything, instead I just quit my job ehh. I mean it helped, haven't had those symptoms since I "recovered" from that environment (I imagine some damage was done though). But I have had some weird heart stuff throughout my life. One thing I get on occasion is that massive "jolt": like out of nowhere, usually when lying down/resting, a massive jolt. I went to a few docs when I was younger to figure it out, they said I was fine but they didn't really do much investigation other than a few scans/tests. I personally don't think that's very normal, but who knows. I haven't had one of those in a while, but last week I had one. Only way I can explain it is, probably a shock from one of those AED devices. ehh. Btw, i've also had crazy high waking HR's, even when being in great condition. In fact, if i'm going to have a racing HR now, it'd most likely be in the morning after getting TOO MUCH sleep. It feels as if my body is 'forcing me to wake up'. Doesn't happen often though.

Anyway, really **hoping** you don't have to get any operations or anything like that. Who knows, the stuff you're experiencing right now could be related to other factors, and once those are addressed, might not need an op .. that's why i'd get a few opinions first. I mean, i'd personally want to figure out if it's potentially the caffeine or some other supplementation you're taking, or work/life/stress etc before getting an op, but obviously you'd want the help of some docs to figure that out -> not just do it on your own.

peace man!

Shit! Is it atrial fibrillation or just some random fluttering? Sounds like AF. My dad had that. It's gonna be fine as long as you stick to the guidelines. Whatever it is, my best wishes and hopes for a good outcome on this, as we say here 'may it be passing by'.

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Notes:
I had the thought to use a six ball to practice dunks and oh man it was so much fun. i can actually land dunks clean with the 6 compared to my old gripless, slightly oversided 7. i tried with the 7 first actually failed. there were some ppl and kids around when i got there and they said hey can you dunk? show us. and so i tried and missed teh first one. After they left i switched to the 6 and suddenly i was doing sets of 6 dunks ALL clean within 35 seconds or so. It's sick. Good way to build up efficiency i think. I got it wrong in the past by trying to make things as hard as possible (big clumsy oversized shoes, ball, weight vest etc) when sometimes you benefit more from making things easier. anyway.

Thanks guys, i really have no idea WHY this happened to me. Doctors dont seem to be interested in why, just what which they are happy to know cos it's apparently an easy fix and they can move on to the next patient..

Saw my GP today, no reason other than i thought i could get another ECG but he wasn't really interested lol. I didnt press him, i was just hoping he'd suggest it himself but he wasnt going to and towards the end of the consultation he's like anything else i can do for you? And i said so you're not gna do an ECG? And he laughed and said na. We went thru my paperwork from the hospital and he made a note of what drugs they'd put me on etc.

 The only thing i could get out of him was a referral for a chest xray. which i never planned on getting i just said so what if i have undiagnosed asthma and he said nah but you can get a chest xray? and im like ok. Not sure if i'll get one but he was surprised the hospital didnt do one already.  He's a good bro but was a bit disappointing because i wanted to see what his ECG machine would read b/c i felt like i had been having ATF again. Did not fancy going to wait for hours on a friday night at ED again so i said ef it, yolo and went to gym. Good session but there is def something offa bout my heart and im not sure what is going on. I was actually getting a bit of chest pain but right now i dont know if it's real or just psychosomatic. Oh I had an echo done yesterday which might reveal if there is something structually wrong. Results shud come next week cos we have a public holiday monday.

That's not good! Hopefully they work out what's wrong with it and you can go back to playing basketball.

Rest. Had another episode of flutter yesterday and i think it's still active b/c i woke up with a HR in the 70s before taking beta blocker. Will start looking for ECG machines on ebay. Guess i need one since even an ablation is considered palliative.

Back Xtn 20xBW

Notes:
Those darn chinups did a number on my abs (100% foreseeable). Bit of a shit squat session as a result. Still, okay all things considering. My lower back not happy from squatting with subopt form with fatigued abs tho.

Heart notes:
I've been in AFL since sunday night btw, it's currently tuesday night, so im in AFL for 48hrs and counting.  Feel disillusioned with medical field, im going to vent about that if i can be bothered tomorrow.

Please do. I'm very confused about the heart situation - I've seen you upload basketball vids to IG, and I thought you weren't supposed to be doing that  :huh:. Tbh, with the prospect of a cardial ablation on the horizon, I thought you'd be taking it easy, not training as normal?

Not sure why but i wasn't recovered enough to progress my topsets. Wanted 3-4 at 155 and 6 at 147.5kg, got no where close to that. Maybe that first set exhausted me too much? Not sure, prob didnt help tbh.
