MG....turns out that there's nothing wrong with my ticker. On Memorial Day, I had what I am (unprofessionally) describing as a fainting spell. My heart rate was very low which was causing me to pass out. They theorized that I may need a pacemaker, but they also tested me for any type of cardiovascular disease and found none. I've been on a heart monitor since then and Friday, my Dr. said I could drive and ride again. There have been no more instances of a low heart rate, there have been no instances of arrhythmia, and again, there's nothing wrong with the structure of my heart (other than it being cold and black). So, no pacemaker. He also said that about 10-20% of these sort of episodes have no known explanation and never recur.
That's my update. Thanks for the concern.
