yeah i was on those before i had my procedure, they are good at stopping 240bpm but they slowed me to 70 , wolf nuts had a really good analogy about grinding gears like going 55 in first gear and yeah that sucks. wolf-nuts is probably the smartest poster on these forums fyi

This may just go away on its own and may just be a result of post interventional cardiac irritation though I don't know how often that is the case. The fluttering feeling is likely a small portion of your atrium doing the same bullshit your whole heart was doing before. Your pulse rate is determined by the buttom half of your heart but that part can beat normally while the top part (or part of the top part) fritzes out.

The ER will likely not do anything for you if you go in. They will monitor you for the correct number of hours (depends either on rules of thumb in doctor books or on some doctors opinion in there) and then tell you to see your heart doctor for a follow up. The main benefit to going in is that they could catch it when it happens and take an EKG of the abnormality which will help your heart doctor decide if part of your ablasion was ineffective or not, or if you need other meds. He will be able to make a guess about this anyway but the EKG improves his guess. The other benefit is if this goes south again like it did before you will already be in the hospital.

For legal reasons I never tell anyone not to go in for any reason. I would explicitly urge you to go in if a) any of the things I asked about in the previous post happen, b) your rate goes over 120 while you're at rest, c) the pre procedural feelings come back, d) the fluttering feeling becomes constant (lasts for more than ten minutes at a go is maybe where I'd draw the line*). Whether you go in or not call your heart doctor tomorrow and schedule a checkup unless he is sure it is not needed. If you call him tonight his office will probably tell you to go in. When you were posting before I felt you should certainly go in. Now I "only" feel you should probably go in and that 9 times out of ten you would wish you had stayed home whereas before 9/10 you would have wished you had gone in. That 1/10 today is nothing to laugh off though.

*Atrial fibrillation or flutter increases the possibility of a clot forming in that area because blood moves poorly in those conditions. This clot can then get ejected if the heart resumes normal beating and jams right into your lungs causing a pulmonary embolism which can be really difficult to treat and is certainly a life threat. Heart dysfunction is not the only issue with heart problems. My ten minute guesstimate is drawn from clot concerns.

Sorry to be imprecise. I'm trying to be honest and there's a lot more grey area here than before.

E: if you're actually hallucinating and not just making a joke about posts go in without question.

AFAIK there are no transgenic traits currently on the market that result in increased size. That's all done with traditional breeding. So your neighbor corn would be the same size either way.

I actually had a professor outright admit to being a leftist commie just last week. Then again, I'm in the equivalent of a community college right now, so being a commie is a given, but admitting it is a big no-no. Then again, the fact that a person can admit it means that the left has won this fight.

Anyway, corporations are actually cool. We should treat them like people. Especially in regards to taxation, it is utterly unfair that individuals are taxed on income while corporations are taxed on profit, to be considered people we should tax them on net revenue...just to be fair! Corporations are people too! Most of them have a revenue in the tens or hundreds of millions, or billions, what's the bracket on that?

Nah seriously corporations are good. To build a big thing nowadays costs so much money, you need to float a thing publicly, or something. And of course the people who help you out by risking their money deserve their fair share of the result. Too bad they're all already rich...except in Norway.
