Narrative and electromagnetic sensitivity
In 1993, at the age of 37, I was diagnosed with a mild heart
condition called HCM-Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy... placing... a thick septum
in one chamber of my heart, reducing blood flow and capacity... this is the
condition. I was treated with beta-blockers my whole life
I coined the term AFIB to fit this situation. In fact, my
heart would lose its rhythm and race, slow down. and add extra beats, and I
always knew it was happening when I felt it in my chest. AFIB can be a serious
condition if the condition persists. For a long time, it can lead to bleeding
and stroke. When I lived in Toronto until 2003. I was treated by a wonderful
cardiologist at Sunnybrook Medical Center. I have had several emergency visits
to the hospital, and my fib attacks seem to happen all the time. Usually around
5:00 am. . Medical intervention.
We moved to Waterloo Ontario in 2003. I found what I thought was a good
cardiologist at the Ottawa Heart Institute. One of the primary things he did
was placed me on an antiarrhythmic drug called Amiodarone. I have been on this
drug for four years and still have occasional fib attacks, but they are not
frequent.
In the fall of 2006, I decided to work part-time in
broadcasting as a reporter/anchor. Around Christmas time I started having
symptoms like fullness in my throat. and not being able to clear my throat and
breathe air. One morning when I was washing my hair, I noticed the size of a
tennis ball in my throat. I immediately saw a cardiologist, and there was
nothing wrong with his answer.
In March 2007, I lost over twenty-five pounds and could not
sleep at night due to pounding in my ears. These attacks scare me because they
last for hours. This is something new.
I wound up in the trauma center at the nearby medical
clinic. Most of my symptoms are like those of a heart attack. But luckily for
me, that didn't happen... I'm in a hyperthyroid storm... My thyroid is
overactive with iodine and it's actually so swollen. It's impossible to get an X-ray because there
are little or no space. . Radioactive isotopes that are absorbed into the
thyroid.
My wife said one night I went from a healthy man to a frail
old man. Intervention by an endocrinologist saved my life. I regained most of the weight I had lost in
late autumn. The irony in all this is that I was told that my thyroid was
destroyed. I would have to take hormones
for the rest of my life. This experience rarely causes an allergic reaction to
Amiodarone.
If my cardiologist had listened to me and done the right
thing in examining me when I saw him in January 2007. I would not have had to
go through this life-threatening experience. I am looking for information on
the cause of AFIB in all these tests. Most of the information I read said it
may contain caffeine. So I eliminated all possible triggers. But still fib.
I worked for several large consumer electronics companies in
the 1990s and 2000s. Often sat in offices
under bright fluorescent lights. I will suffer from low energy, headaches,
fatigue, shortness of breath, and anxiety. At one company, I removed the
fluorescent light above my desk and put a small lamp on my desk.
The headache and nausea disappeared within a day. I find
this very interesting. Another thing is that when I use the old tube computer
check, I get headaches and eyestrain. Upon further investigation, I found that
this symptom only occurs. When the monitor's refresh rate is 60HZ. By increasing
the refresh rate to 72 Hz, the symptoms disappeared.
