Plus now my question has been reported to the NSA so they can have the CDC contact the VA and check me for atrial fibrillation in the hopes of prescribing a pill they can charge the taxpayer for.

Wait till someone tells them that I have good supply of nitroglycerin.

Nitroglycerin is not used to treat A-Fib. It is used to help prevent chest pain (angina) due to poor oxygen supply to the heart through narrowed coronary arteries. It relaxes those arteries so blood can flow a little easier.
I'm not sure what the causes of A-Fib are. I think it's coronary artery disease and high blood pressure. The electrical activity of the upper chambers of your heart is disturbed. While I don't know exactly what causes it, I know what it is from my Paramedic days. Your heart has four chambers - two smaller ones - the atria - and two larger ones - the ventricles. These chambers usually beat in a coordinated manner. Blood returns to the heart and fills the atria. Then the atria contract and dump the collected blood into the ventricles (bigger and stronger chambers). Then the ventricles contract and send the blood out to the rest of the body. Your left ventricle sends blood out to the body at large, the right ventricle sends it to the lungs.
In A-Fib, the atria don't really beat as they are supposed to, they quiver around like a shaking bowl of jello. So they don't deliver the blood to the ventricles in the strong and coordinated manner that they should. This leads to incomplete ventricle filling. And also, since the blood hangs around in those quivering atria and can pool there, clots can form. So you are at a much higher risk of stroke from those clots.
A-Fib doesn't kill you dead on the spot. People can walk around with it (V-Fib, or "ventricular fibrillation" you can't do that - you drop like a rock). But you do want to treat A-Fib because of all the bad things it can cause.

i dont have afib but ive got mvp--heart valve prolapse. its not bad unless theres alot of stress then i get spisodes. my heart doc told me years ago when my heart starts beating faster or irregular to cough 1-2 times and it resets the rythem and do some deep breathing works very well and quickly.
im just posting cause i stumbled on something that has made a real difference for me. a computer fixer friend recommended this to me--
1- as i tend to sit at my desk off and on thru the day and evening to wear something to block rf or emf. im not educated on this so be patient. im at my desk and computer to listen to news showsin the morning for an h our or so with my coffee. i make a point to get up 1 an hour or so to avoid sitting too long in 1 position. so i go do a chore, then come back and listen to more news or shows . get up again, , do something with dogs, do the walker or bike exercise, etc etc--but doc told me to move aournd so i do that. makes a difference.
also--the router and all wire wifi stuff things are on a short table upstairs that happens to be right above my bed.
ive noticed an increase in heart stress issues over the last year--got checked not worse but told to monitor things. my new housemate is a electrician-computer dude and suggested i try some emf fabric or blanket and put it on my chest while at my desk and to put something under the router + equip on the upstairs table that is right above my bed.
in 1 day by end of the day i noticed a real difference. was very surprised. he also helped me so some research on the effects of rfd-emf on the body, immune system and weve havent been told the whole truth of how it works on us--especially the phones and ear bud things that jut sort of bathe us wth radiation. . he brought his RF meter to check my applience things--microwave --stand well back when that sucker is on, the special monitor, light and keybord i have to use and showed me how much i was taking in day after day-
another computer friend told me to add a piece of the emf fabric in a cap and wear that when at the desk. since i waer a ball cap in the day with some magnets in it to help with migraines (works great) i just added a piece of fabric inside that cap and tucked it under the magnets
sounds strange but i noticed a differencethat really helped.
dont know if it could help, jut passing it along.

Correct. Propranolol is a better helper (with some 'caviats') for arrhythmias (including 'A-Fib') https://www.drugs.com/propranolol.html / https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/maximum-dose-propranolol-3568246/ IMO, it is one of the 'key ones' to Have on-hand (once 'ER's / EMS, etc are no longer accessible / May not be, due to chaos, etc.) But of course, as with All Drugs / Meds, Only to be taken with Professional Direction / Education.

Well, whatever you do, don't take those nitroglycerin pills with Viagra. That will drop you in your tracks and kill you deader than a doornail with a massive coronary attack within seconds.
Haha
