    I’ve had a-fib and congestive heart failure, 2 heart attacks, and open heart surgery.

    Each of the times my heart has stopped, I was asleep, no awareness of it until the doctors and nurses told me.

    With the heart monitor, I can press a button when something feels “off”, and report symptoms like being dizzy or passing out. Doc says I’ve been getting extra heartbeats sometimes. Low blood pressure has been a problem too.

    When I pass out from low blood pressure, the first thing is I get super dizzy. Then a ringing in my ears so loud I can’t hear anything. Then my vision closes in and turns red and I wake up on the floor.
