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?

Good question. Just wanted to get my heart back in rhythm?

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