How old was he? Did he have other risk factors?

I get an abnormal rhythm on occasion. Sometimes just a few seconds off and on for a few minutes or an hour and then not again for weeks or a few years.

After 18 years of not really knowing what was happening I caught an abnormal rhythm alert while taking my blood pressure last month.

I told my doctor and he set me up with a portable heart monitor I'm currently wearing for a few weeks. It happens so infrequently I was worried it wouldn't happen while I had the monitor but I logged several events yesterday. Hoping it's just stress/anxiety and not more serious.

The federal government (under Trump at the time) removed the "waiting week" which states use to verify the legitimacy of unemployment claims. This caused fraud all over the country, not just in Washington, to get through. It is more the fault of trying to get benefits out fast than of any individual state's process.

I'd blame Equifax for leaking the identity of the majority of adults in the United States more than any other entity. And they've basically faced no consequences for it.
