A long story made short but heed the signs and symptoms
I had a little lightheadedness last weekend at a flea market and thought nothing of it
On Wednesday while waxing the car I was lightheaded again and sat down on the tailgate I felt better and stood up Needless to say I must have hit the stucco wall in front of me but don't remember anything but picking up my broken glasses and walking into the condo and going in the bathroom
Next thing I remember is throwing up and waking up in ER Thank God my wife heard me come in and called the ambulance
After a couple days in the hospital Drs figured it may be Afib coupled with a low heart rate
I don't know what the future holds but I do know who holds the future
The pic is what I look like today
Nasty and looks like there might be some pain involved. Hope everything turns out good for you and the bruises clean up quickly.

I think there may be a pacemaker in your future !!
Afib is livable, i am thankful you are on the mend, and in Dr's care. Hope you heal fast. The picture is rough to look at, I hope your good looks return soon.
Hopefully you will feel better soon.Ouchy.
Hope everything turns out good
Best wishes on a speedy recovery.
God bless you and I hope you feel better soon. ♥
God Bless. I wish you well. If your AFib future is like my wife's, it means a Pacemaker!
Thanks to each of you for the comments as each one is appreciated The swelling is down some this AM but still intense I should find out on Mon what needs to be done as I still am feeling the Afib heart rate being up
I felt bad back in 1999 with severe heart burn on Friday and then again on Monday evening.
Went to ER on Monday night and Dr. said to lie back cuz I was having a heart attack.
Next day they took a look and 3 months later I had a quadruple bypass.

Wear a 2-week (or longer) "Event Monitor" - - that may give your cardiologist some ideas what's going on
