    I’ve been told in the past that if you feel yourself going into a fib, you should push like your trying to shit to bring you out of it.

      I was in a fib for about 30 hours. They were gonna defib shock me in the next hour via my oesophagus to correct it. I needed to take a shit, and did so while my portable ECG started alarming

      A minute later I was in a rapid but normal sinus rhythm

      Works

      Also don’t recommend a heart rate of 260, exhausting
