My AF (when not racing) can sometimes sound like Apache war drums - 'dum, dum, dum then pause and miss a beat' and dum, dum, dum then pause and miss a beat and so on.

Yes, it's a bit like a bad builder trying to hit nails... tap... tap tap... TAP... tap tap tap. Irregular in all sorts of ways!

When I was in Af, I was very symptomatic, to check I would use the wrist blood pressure machine, if I was in Af it would give me a pulse reading it would sometimes go up and down like a yo yo or say error when it became too erratic . It no longer works as I now have a PM

Interesting to read those and Jean that sounds more like ectopics to me when you have regular missed beats. . The best way to describe AF in pulse is an irregular-- irregular pulse. In other words there is no regular pattern of any kind.! Ian's sounds both the most poetic and most accurate to me--- never knew you were so poetic mate. For any engineers present I think mine when it was in AF was like an eight cylinder race engine with a miss-fire. It used to chime back in on a couple of cylinders and then drop two or three in odd orders so it was impossible to locate which cylinder wasn't working as they kept changing. Sometimes one or two sometimes four or five in a very random manner.. If you have |
