Frightening but not much cause to worry. Do you get them often? And about how long do they last?
Not often at all anymore. And typically less than a minute. Maybe once or twice a year.

This one scared me because it wouldn't stop. The first one lasted near 3-4 minutes, and anytime I'd move, it would start up again. This went on for near a half hour.

About the same for me usually when I'm in bed.

3-4 minutes is not really long though it seems so at the time, scary

Mine usually last a few seconds but repeat a few times for a couple of mins or so. First time i thought ot was a heart attack.

Don't worry about it but note what you think brought it on.

My best guess is I much more than normal, and very quickly, too.

debate going on in my house and in me noggin.... should I retire next year or wait 2 years or 3 years...... once I have all the numbers the decision will be made
In this matter, the intellect needs to be front-and-center and the emotions given due attention but not a controlling vote.

It depends on what is the cause. When I have afib, even for 20 seconds, I can hear the irregular heart beat but it's not "palpitations" from a medical perspective. Flipping into concern and looking it up mode:
Palpitations are common and usually harmless, but they can sometimes be a sign of a more serious condition. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience palpitations along with any of the following symptoms: Chest discomfort, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Dizziness or light-headedness, Fainting, and Nausea.​
To treat palpitations at home, you can try to avoid triggers, such as:​
  • Caffeine
  • Nicotine
  • Some cold medicines
  • Energy drinks
  • Illegal drugs, like cocaine and amphetamines
  • Stress (yeah, well, it's trivially easy to write that but be in your shoes for a minute or a day)

After about 126 years of campaigning the American election is finally drawing to a conclusion. Maybe there is a God?

Hopefully now there will be some interesting discussions on RF instead of "your party sucks" "no, your party sucks".

Your post sucks, no my post sucks

Not sure if the outcome is going to be better than the leadup. It could get nasty, i hope not.

true, it all depends on the differences in the numbers.... but to be honest, I'm not sure I can take it in this office until 2027...... I think 2026 is my limit.... but when I have the numbers I will know for sure.....
