Anyone else ever tried out the Mediterranean Diet? First meal last night, Greek chicken and a salad. Super tasty :)

Marie Myers Yup, it is tasty and very good for your health! Fish and lots of greens and other vegetables…

Robert Miller Although I am European, I am not too fond of Greek/Mediterranean food. I am more a rice, green vegetable and chili type of guy (or pasta, just made some Aeuplermagrone yesterday and creamy mushroom toast bread the day before). My wife would like that Mediterranean food, though. I guess that is why my MIL calls me more Chinese than her daughter... But I do like fish a lot. Salmon is always good but if you haven't tried it yet then cook some Chilean sea bass. Just make sure you don't overcook it.

Andrew Dial Oh wow I’m gonna have to try that… thanks for the idea!!

Klara Čičić Yummy. Well done!

Pamela Gregory Looks great!

Angela Meletiadis of course!!

Hey guys, 7.5months post Ross procedure/ascending aorta Dacron graft.
I have some really weird stuff going on. They feel like palpitations, but more like a skipped beat. Randomly off and on throughout the day. Sometimes it’s one or two. Other times, like right now, it’s been happening for 20min. Maybe every 15-20 beats or more, or less. But with them.. I get like excess pressure. Excess pressure in my face, and my sinuses and ears even. It’s the oddest thing. It’s been happening for almost a week, and not getting any better. I may go take myself to urgent care or ER tomorrow.
But anywho, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or know anyone who has?!
Thanks
P.s. blood pressure is good.

Robert Miller I had this pre- and post- first surgery. It takes a few months for your heart to settle. But you are 7.5 months into it so that seems unusual, especially since it seems you didn't have it before. Not trying to hit the alarm but I think you need to see your cardiologist. Give him/her a call and see how soon they want to see you. Btw, I am even more sensitive to any unusual heart beat than I was before but as I said, it seems your situation got more pronounced months after your surgery so have it checked out.

Rose Madura Andrew, I'm sorry you are dealing with this. About 2 years after my surgery, my family doctor took me off Amlodipine. I started having blips and when trying to check heart rate, it would register in the 30's. I contacted the doctor on call who seemed kind of baffled. They squeezed me in to see my cardiologist the next day. My blood pressure was up. He said that the Amlodipine was working with the Metoprolol to keep heart rate in check and once I got back on Amlodipine, I was fine. He said the reason for the 30's reading for my heart rate was because since I had a blip, the meter didn't pick that up so to the pulse oximeter, it was as if my heart was beating really slowly when in actuality, it was in the 60s. But it was scary. Anyway, I said all that to say you probably need to try to see the cardiologist. Please let us know...

Andrew Dial Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback. I actually already had a scheduled appointment with my cardiologist but it’s a week away… so idk what to think. I wanna keep giving it time to see if it’ll fix itself, but when it doesn’t, it’s frustrating. Robert, I think we have a very big thing in common and that’s the fact we are all super sensitive to our heart and body and are constantly monitoring.

Klara Čičić "we are all super sensitive to our heart and body and are constantly monitoring" this is super correct ... I sometimes think I feel my regurgitation, I know it's funny and crazy but I sense this vibration with each beat and think to myself this is repair failure and leakage jet I feel. I am laughing even writing this. Yes, we are super sensitive and it is no wonder after what we have been through involving our main organ that keeps us alive. Anyway, I sometimes have a beat like you describe where I feel beat all the way to the neck area, but it is very rare. More often than that I have short period of fast and irregular heart beats which monitor reads as supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia.

Matthew Malooly I've always had a low heart rate. I was in the 50s pre-op so certain palpitations would be really dramatic. The way the cardiac muscle works is it contracts more forcefully the more full it is. So when I'd have a skipped beat, or a little ventricular jiggle that wouldn't be an actual beat, my heart would overfill, and the next beat would be this huge dramatic thing that would sometimes almost hurt my chest and head and eyes. Because my He was slow I could tell when it was coming. There were times I'd have this once or twice randomly in a day, but sometimes it was like my heart was just having an irritable day, or after getting too much bradykynin during exercise, it could be like every 5th beat for a while. I think it was that dramatic because of my low HR. If I had a faster HR or higher blood pressure, I don't think it would have been like that. It was always for me the definite sensation of a missed beat.

Pamela Gregory Andrew I think you need to trust your gut instinct and not wait the week to see cardiologist if you are really concerned. You are a tough person and know your body. I think you should call cardiologist again with your concerns and see if they can squeeze you in sooner

Susan Lynn Andrew - I'm a big fan of Kardia Mobile. I just got the upgraded 6L, but even with the original model, I could take EKGs at any time to keep tabs on my heart. It also allows the user to email EKGs to their cardiologist - which I have done when I got a Possible Afib reading.

In the last five years, I have also worn the ZIO monitor, twice. It tracks every heart beat for two weeks. You press a button when/if you feel any symptoms and document a log with more details. That may be a next step if your doctor doesn't find anything with your exam. The problem with arrhythmias is they may come and go. I was eventually diagnosed with premature atrial contractions (which I never felt) and was prescribed extended release metoprolol which brought them down to less than 1%. https://www.irhythmtech.com

Good luck! Don't hesitate to go to the ER if you feel the need. Please keep us posted.

Andrew Dial Update: called and tried to get ahold of my cardiologist last night and again this morning. Talked to a nurse. She said my cardiologist would call me back. They put it in high priority. So i waited a bit. Then ended up going to the ER, as my funky beats continued late this morning. They took blood. Did an ekg. Then I sat in the room for over an hour. Not one person came in. Meanwhile, my cardiologist FINALLY CALLED me! What a relief! He is absolutely positive it is my meds! I went from 50mg/day of carveidilol to 25mg of metoprolol. Sounds like we went a little much of a drop in meds. The characteristics of each one of these BP meds is different, and they do more than tackle blood pressure. So what I’m feeling is right after I would have a PVC/PAC… there is a small period of time after the “skipped beat” feeling, where the heart is refilling with blood in a quicker/higher velocity.. and that’s the excess pressure I’m feeling in my neck/face. So my understanding is the amount of metoprolol I’m on can’t quite handle the need. So we upped it to 25mg twice/day. He sounds extremely confident in this.

Anyways, sorry for the long reply.. and I appreciate each and everyone of you.

Feeling so #grateful for everyone who has been supportive thus far, and continue to support me in life's journeys. Dr. Burke and UW Cardiology did an absolute knockout job with my #rossprocedure, and I cannot thank them enough. Dr. James Watson at Overlake Cardiology has been seeing me for 15-20 years, reporting back to me on all my Echocardiograms, and pointing me in the right direction with my ww/Unicuspid aortic valve/ascending aorta. I cannot thank them enough, and am very much at peace knowing they are here for me to keep an eye on my heart health. I would not be here today without the knowledge and wisdom of these teams of people. l'm proud of my zipper, and proud as hell to say I am proof that people put so much care into the lives of others, making sure they can have their life extended. I was never scared of surgery, not once. Some people are born for certain things. Maybe it's a professional athlete? Perhaps running a company, or even a country? Well for me, I believe I was born for this surgery, to embrace the journey, to help others, and to share my story with whoever needs to hear it. If my story can help just one person... well that's a win, and that makes my heart happy

Big shoutout to HVS for everyone who has helped me along the way.
