Suddenly my heart started racing and I felt dizzy, weak and short of breath, and had tightness in my chest and neck. At the time, I was working in a hospital cardiac rehab department, and was very familiar with cardiac arrhythmias. I was fairly sure that I was having either atrial fibrillation or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. I had my wife drive me to my office at the hospital immediately, and I hooked myself up to the EKG machine to see what type of arrhythmia my heart was in.
