More than 10 years ago now, I was in the ICU for myocarditis, leading to bradycardia, a very slow heart rate.

During the night, it would drop to 40 (which is still fine), but sometimes below 30, at which point my heart monitor would blare an alarm, waking me up and scaring the absolute bejesus out of me, raising my heart rate immensely. A nurse would walk in, see that I was fine, and leave again.

This occurred nightly for a few days.



I don't understand this post. It reads like "have your cake and eat it too". The the heart monitor did not blare an alarm, maybe you died. Which one do you want?


The alarm to go off in the nurses' station so they could investigate.
