As promised, here the feedback from my last health check-up yesterday at Bumrungrad in Bangkok. EP was very satisfied and even my BP was perfect he stated.
However, the night before; I had not eaten anything at all during the day; I got really hungry and ordered close to midnight a Thom Ka Gai soup and a stir fried Szechuan Chicken with rice. Although I felt it was enough after I consumed half the portion, I downed the rest with 1L water ( stupid me). Suddenly the pressure in my guts started building up, pressuring upwards and I knew what was coming. 10 min later my heart rythm went hirwire. PVCs, PACs, rate jumping between 35 to 192 to 130 to 80. Almost classic AFIB but it felt different, no urge to go to the toilet every 5 minutes but somehow equally horrible than AFIB. I tried to remain calm, not to panic. Staying on the right side and after 2 hours.....it was gone from one moment to the next. All perfect NSR, like the calm after the storm.
Docs and my own conclusion, don't eat large portions and certainly not at midnight. Shed some serious weight, eat more green stuff and fruits. Cut salt and stay away from sweets.
Sounds like: Move to the Wat and become a monk!
But indeed, changing eating habbits is now priority No 1. Tough to resist the little voice in my brain that reminds me about the piece of Sacher Cake in the fridge but we will silence you with plenty of Asian greens, Asparagus, Beans, Beetroot, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts and Cabbage.
Wish all a great weekend ahead
