Pif PAF

Shit. It came back.

After having been basically free of my paroxysmal atrial fibrillation for two months, my heart went boom about 20 minutes after going to sleep last night and remained in fibrillation until I went for a brisk walk in the cold this morning before work (a cure I've discovered). I am very nervous about getting back into the state I was in last fall where I fibrillated 3 or 4 times a week for periods up to 15 hours.

I'm not sure why that period began last August or why it ended in early December. I think that I might have taught myself some informal bio-feedback -- learning to recognize the onset and mentally re-regulate my heart before it kicked into full PAF.

Anyway, I'm hoping that last night was just an abberation and will not be the start of a new extended period of inconvenience, worry and general shittiness. I'm insulted and chagrined that someone with incredible rhythm should have a heart that refuses to beat steadily!

That is all.
