I think lot of you already know that my old ticker and I are not getting along for the last couple of weeks, it's not cooperating with me.
What my old ticker has is a condition called PVC, Premature Ventricular Contraction, it's a type of Cardiac Arrhythmia. Enough mambo jambo, it basically cause uneven heartbeat, palpitation, chest pain, shortness of breath and oh yes skip/drop beat.
So the past couple of weeks Doc Emmett Brown run all kinda test possible - ECG, Echo, ETT, TSH, Lipid Profile, Holter monitor etc. All the results are pretty much positive beside Holter, which shows approximately 1466 skip/drop beats over 24 hours.
Doc thinks this condition might be benign and will eventually disappear in a month or two, if I continue taking the medications and follow his rules. The cause of this condition is my unhealthy way of living. So I have to go to a dietitian for dietary guidelines, exercise, avoid stress, hypertension, insomnia, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and other drugs. He also ensured that if I don't follow these rules then I will be back there in no time and it wont be an easy getaway next time.
So everyone take care of your old ticker or get prepared to curse its sudden but inevitable betrayal!
