THE HEART RHYTHM WORD GAME

[Momto3]

While we all come here for different reasons, one thing that remains constant is our desire to learn more about a recent diagnosis, upcoming test/procedure, post surgical concerns, etc.  However, because we also need to have a little fun in our lives, someone from one of the other forums suggested we have a go at this word game.  Whatdya say?  It'll be fun, give it a try : )

Connie

Take the last letter of the word below and add a heart-related term to the thread.  I'll get us started........


"arrythmia"  

"A" -- Your turn!  Now, think of a heart related word that begins with the letter "A" and add it to the thread.  The word can be anything related to the heart or to what you have been going through.  Take a little break from your daily routine and have a little fun with this game.......Hope you enjoy the game!

Relaxation exercises basically involve the flexing and releasing of major muscle groups. People are often unaware of how much muscle tension they have built up in their bodies until they do one of these exercises.

[Momto3]

NSR (normal sinus rhythm)  .......what we all aspire to : )

[Donna-lee]

Relaxation, (we all need to do more of)
N?

[dolfnlvr]

Laughter--the best medicine

So, now you are on "R"

(Too bad no-one has gotten an "S" for support or an "F" for friends...you are all the BEST for helping to deal with an overactive pump!!!)

[dolfnlvr]

Toprol--at least 1/4 of us have taken it.....

[steph4501]

Trust that these Pvc's/Pac's, are benign!!  =o)

So now we have another T!

[debola53]

Electrophysiologist-now it is a T.

[Happy2girls]

LOVE

Makes the heart skip a beat....or two.

Back to E

[Momto3]

Propanolol........and I'll bet you thought it would be PVC's  : )

"L" it is!

[steph4501]

Nap (muc needed after a long day with PVC's!  =o)

"P" is next in line... Hmmm, wonder what someone will come up with here!  ;o)~

Steph

[dolfnlvr]

O=Organ

That's two words that end in "N"--so N it is for the next person...

[dolfnlvr]

No fair...that's THREE terms...M, S and E

Myocardial infarction

Sinus Tachycardia

EKG

Now...whoever picks up from here, just pick ONE of the three ending letters (N, A or G)

Ha Ha Ha...that spells NAG  :-)

[isukathis]

Min sort of got left behind... How about "O"

[Momto3]

WOW!  The next player has a choice between "M", "S" or "E"!    

[debola53]

Myocardium, myocarditis, mitral valve prolapse!

[Momto3]

These are great!!  Definitely better than work : )

EchocardiograM........I'm sterring clear of echocardiography : )  

"M" is next......Give the wheel a spin!

[WvMomof3]

A - Adrenaline:  A hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla that is released into the bloodstream in response to physical or mental stress, as from fear or injury. It initiates many bodily responses, including the stimulation of heart action and an increase in blood pressure, metabolic rate, and blood glucose concentration.

Hmmm...I am sure none of us have ever had a rush of adrenaline because of our hearts...lol...

"E" is the choice for the next contestant...Come on Down *Smile*

[isukathis]

A - Arrhythmia

That was too easy..... How about "O"

This is better than work!!!!

[steph4501]

Y - Yoga (A system of exercisesfor attaining bodily or mental control and well-being with liberation of the self and union with the universal spirit).

Certainly, we can all use mental control when it comes to worrying (anxiety) from these PVC's/heart rhythm problems.

Okay so now the letter is "A" again!  hehe...

Steph

[ireneo]

I'm game LOL Let's make it challenging. A - Anxiety (which many with heart issues certainly feel)  Now it's the letter "Y"  (Hint: you can use a dictionary, especially a medical dictionary on line :-)
