Nerwin Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Well my mom woke me up at 2am this morning to tell me that she is bringing my dad to the hospital. I'm like ugh oh. My dads heart wouldn't stop beating fast, like he could just be laying there doing nothing but its going at 144bpm.So they were at the hospital and they tried everything to get his heart to slow down so they wouldn't have to shock him. But since they can't get it down, they probably are going to shock him.Its almost 9am on Monday and his heart started beating really fast around 11pm Sunday night.This wasn't a great night for me... I guess things can happen in a instant.I just felt like I needed to share this.

Nerwin Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 Well my mom just called me, His heart got back into rhythm by its self, now they have to investigate why it happened and what to do to prevent it.
Nerwin Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 Well everything was ok, he got back from ICU the day after he was admitted. What ever it was, they say its not life threating but could cause a blood clot, so they are going to keep a close eye on that.So he's back home now and well.
Dude111 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Thank goodness he is ok!!Thank you for letting us know
fivestars Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I am glad to hear your Dad is ok, and please take care of him.
spacesurfer Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 so they wouldn't have to shock him. But since they can't get it down, they probably are going to shock him.If the heart is beating, shocking a patient is not indicated. it would make it worse. shocking is for people whose heart isn't beating at all.anyway, good to hear your dad is doing better.
