Not trying to scare you, just trying to save someone's else family from the heartache that ours went through.

Definitely; I know it's something that requires surveillence. I don't want to be caught offguard by anything.
I'm good about letting my cardiologist know if my heartbeat starts getting irregular (goes up to 150-160 for no reason). The scary thing is that it's not exercise-induced. I could just be sitting on the couch watching TV and my rate will go out. Most of the time though it's not bad at all.
Luckily my cardiologist is one of the best in his field, so if anything comes up I know I'll be in good hands.
