Here's how it all began.
So around six years ago, I noticed irregularities in my heart functioning such as an irregular heartbeat and palpatations. This is when i reported it to my PCP and he referred me to Dr. Don Matsuura, one of several cardiologists in Hilo. So after running numerous tests, he put me on a bunch of meds. Several months later, my heart went into SVT. Please see attached link. I swear, if my wife wasn't at home when it happened, I wouldn't be here right now. Guess my time wasn't up yet. The paramedics carried me out my shower and laid me on the ground in my bedroom and immediately proceeded to perform a cardioversion. Mike Brigolli was the lead medic and I am forever grateful for him saving my life. Ok so I begged them to sedate me but they were on a time crunch as my blood pressure as under 100 while my heart rate was racing at 220 bpm.
