An echocardiogram of your heart. To check for thrombi

Oh yeah nope. So glad that I didn’t have a stroke

Is the sotalol keeping you out of afib?

Jan 25, 8:01pm

Yes, but it's more like I'm not playing ball as hard as I used to.

Glad you got it checked out!! A stroke is a real possibility with afib.

Jan 25, 8:03pm

Glad you’re ok. Why did the ER do it? We’re you getting unstable?

Maybe they trust your Apple Watch but before they cardiovert, they often will do a TEE.
