Ihave AFib, a common heart condition that can cause both arrhythmia and a heart rate that can go from 65 bpm to a sustained rate of 165 in, well, a heartbeat. A few years back, I had an ablation in order to deal with those irritating and dangerous symptoms. For the most part, it worked. For years, I’ve only had minor symptoms, usually during stressful times — like when money gets tight or when Tom Brady signs with Tampa Bay.
