I was recently diagnosed with a Long Q Rhythm. I'm wondering if there is anyone else out there with this problem.
My Dr. recommends Beta Blocker and no more racing. He also commented that I've had this condition all my life so I'll probably be ok.
I would like to PM with anyone out there who is swimming with a similar situation. I am feeling very conflicted and would like to talk to someone in the same boat.
I read the paragraph about the sisters who swam in Nationals with a Long Q diagnosis, in fact that article motivated me to go to the electrophysicist (sp) and get this checked out by a specialist.
I've already decided if I have to quit swimming I will start doing yoga regularly, take super long walks, and start playing flute/piccolo in the Carmel Orchestra. I will definitely have to go back on Adderall or Concerta to help me with my excess free-cycling energy!
Isn't Adderall, in essence, an amphetamine? Definitely check this out with your doctor!
Glad to hear you survived another day, Bob!
My prediction: you will be playing flute/piccolo at the funerals of your doctors, many, many decades from now!
