No words can express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for Snore MD, Mission B.C. The Team... Cabrini, Marquise and Sleep clinician, Oksana were absolute Angels in my speedy recovery. July 2023 I was diagnosed with AFIB. Basically, it's an irregular and often a very rapid heart rhythm that can lead to blood clots in the heart. This condition can also lead to the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart related complication. I experienced 15 AFIB episodes with a heart rate as high as 183 beats per minute!! that would often lead to a trip to the ER. Next... were several appointments to the Cardiologist, family Doctor, Nature path, blood chemistry, stress tests, sleep apnea test and an echocardiogram. The cause of my AFIB was?? you wouldn't have guessed it! Sleep apnea!! and mine was mild. I was encountering 10.5 events per hour each night of not breathing and restarting while I was sleeping which was preventing my body from getting enough oxygen. I was fitted with a CPAP machine. HALLELUJUH!!!! THANK-YOU JESUS!! Fast forward to February 2024... I am of off the horrid prescription drug called Diltiazem. No more AFIB episodes, sleep quality improved immensely, I'm dreaming again, Tons of energy to handle day to day stresses, I'm alert, my mood has improved, much more productive and the list goes on. I would also like to thank... My Nature Path (Evoke Wellness, Mission, B.C. Dr. Amanada Svendsen), my family Doctor. (Dr, John Chan, Abbotsford, B.C.) and (Heritage Park Pharmacy Mission, B.C.), For finding the cause of my AFIB, believing in me, advocating for me, taking my calls/visits and providing words of comfort and reassurance. It really took a village to get this gal feeling better.
