Robert Patel, a 58-year-old high school...
Robert Patel, a 58-year-old high school principal, has always been the picture of calm authority. Recently, he's been experiencing unsettling episodes of a racing, 'fluttering' heart and sudden dizziness, usually in the evenings after a stressful day. He initially dismissed them as anxiety, but when he nearly fainted while supervising a football game, his wife insisted he see a doctor. His cardiologist, concerned about potential paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, recommended a 48-hour Holter monitor to catch these fleeting episodes. Robert felt self-conscious and tethered by the wires and bulky recorder, worrying it would alarm his students. He kept a meticulous diary, noting each flutter. The analysis revealed frequent premature atrial contractions (PACs) but no dangerous arrhythmia. Relieved, Robert worked with his doctor on stress management and reduced caffeine. The emotional weight of fearing a serious heart condition lifted, replaced by proactive control over his health.
