Nick Cook Nov 2019 1:20pm, 4 Nov 2019 34,325 posts	0 Nick Cook Thanks again to everyone for all the good wishes. It's brought tears to my eyes reading all these wonderful posts. Greppers. I had an AF episode a couple of years ago, middle of the night Christmas night. I was a bit concerned and phoned 111. They told me to go into hospital. They put it down to the alcohol I'd consumed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I don't drink so much any more. However, when I saw the cardiologist a few days later, he said I needn't have gone into hospital, it would have sorted itself out. If it happened again, only to go in if it hadn't settled down after 24 hours. Also, as long as I didn't do it too often, I could enjoy myself when out drinking occasionally.

GregP Nov 2019 2:02pm, 4 Nov 2019 115,840 posts	0 GregP There's a lot of talk of attacks here. I have nothing of the sort - I feel absolutely fine pretty much all of the time - it's just my Garmin (and Apple Watch) report some very strange numbers...

Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Nov 2019 2:10pm, 4 Nov 2019 29,117 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Worth getting checked out all the same Greg, my son is having Catheter Ablation, hope he can get back to normal then.

Nick Cook Nov 2019 4:15pm, 4 Nov 2019 34,329 posts	0 Nick Cook No 'attack' for me either. I could feel my heart beating more than I normally did when I woke up, but it was when I looked at my watch and noticed my heartrate had been over 100 the past 4 hours, when normally it would be around 50 when asleep.
