Made the 2 hour drive over to Burlington Kentucky yesterday with my brother to play Idlewild Disc Golf Course. We played the Female Pro layout and got worked. We had a blast though. Can't wait to go back and do a bit better. It's about 9000 feet over 18 holes up and down some serious hills. I am feeling every bit of it today. Worth it.

That's why I got on CPAP, it was causing crazy afib. I ended up in the hospital for the second time this last January, I woke up with my heart totally out of rhythm. They had to use the defib to shock me back into sinus (regular) rhythm. At least I was asleep for the shock this time, back in 2017 (when I was first diagnosed with afib) I wasn't put under and it was extremely painful. CPAP took me a while to get used to, there are SO many adjustments you can make so it is easier to tolerate. BIPAP is even easier, but those machines are 3 times the cost of a CPAP or APAP. Your last line is actually true - 'Ah...this gettin old shit...is not for the faint of heart.' No shit. I haven't had one afib symptom since the CPAP, my cardiologist thinks it will stay this way if I keep it up. No problem, I'll never sleep without it again...
Wow...I'm glad you've found relief/got things in order. It's scary shit. Even scarier when they don't give you the good drugs. (I was awake for a colonoscopy...yikes) We think my wife had a fib for years and never really knew it. She thought it was job stress/etc. but the symptoms worsened after retiring/etc. She ended up with the a fib diagnosis and went on Xarelto and an aspirin but she had a TIA so things ramped up across the board. They had to shock her as well but it didn't hold...and they ended up doing an ablation on her. That procedure instantly nixed the a fib....'er...'a....or should I say it let the meds work as they should. She's not ever getting off any of the blood thinners/heart regulators/etc. from the looks of it.

My wife is on a ASV machine. She had 3 sleep studies/tried CPAP/BIPAP but neither did the trick. Didn't know about the home study/vs. hospital stay study in regards to coverage for the supplies. BS. We'll see what they prescribed/etc. So much fun. Thanks for that info. It's always somethin'.
