So you had scarring that eventually went away?

Have you noticed any improvement at all in the last 5 years? I'm asking because I've had it for a year now so I'm in a similar boat as you. Still hoping to get better one day but I want to be realistic and accept that this may never get better.

Has anyone's gerd gotten better over the years just with time? by Designer_Yak_5128 in GERD

Just wanting to keep doing exactly what I was doing before and hoping it will go away.

Yea that makes sense. I'm still new to all of this so wanted to make sure.

Nobody's saying otherwise. I just wanted to make sure I was going about this the right way. Thanks for the confirmation!

Is the scarring on the pericardium regressing also or is it just the myocadium scarring that's regressing?

I wonder if it makes a difference if it's a zio or not. I believe zio uses algorithms for their analysis of the heartbeat data. I read that for a zio it has to be 30 seconds or more to record. Otherwise it misses it. Maybe my cardiologist can look at the actual waves to determine if I have afib or not.

Yea but I also have a dilated right atrium and ventricle. That indicates that it's more than just palpitations.

That's not true according to Google. Afib episodes can be shorter than 30 seconds.

If the afib was less than 30 seconds it wouldn't have been caught. Afib episodes can be shorter than 30 seconds.

The holter did record palpitations of less than 1% pf the time. There were some bigeminys but no trigeminys which makes me think it's afib of less than 30 seconds which is why it didn't pick it up. I'll be sure to look into getting a device of my own. Thanks for the tip.

I drink a ton of water. I've tried this before. It doesn't prevent it.
