Electric shocks

Hi i was admitted to hospital a few days ago (am home now) with chest pains I won't go into medical details but the cardiac doctor who saw me said they want to put me to sleep then deliberately shock me to bring my heart back into rhythm  now I've always tried to avoid shocks so was wondering is this really a good idea? I know it's DC from a bank of condensers and not 50 cycle mains but all the same I'm not keen

  • I had a heart irregularity in 2003. Coffee was my drug of choice and was drinking a mug full before leaving home for work, on arrival at work whilst waiting for my computer to boot up and throughout the day at meetings and between meetings and on arrival back home and during the evening. If I went without for any period Imwould start craving and shaking. Sometimes my heart would be racing which I ignored. The whilst away with SWMBO in a nice hotel in Cheltenham I had a big event of sweating and heart pounding and feeling awful during the night. I got the boss to drive me to A&E and found myself wired up to a heart machine with an irregular heart beat. Boss very upset at missing a sumptuous breakfast in the hotel and reminds me of this selfish behaviour from time to time. After this. I went cold turkey no coffee, no coco cola etc. I get my maintenance dose fro tea and I fall off the wagon and have a slice of coffe cake no walnuts when  I visit HM at Sandrigham other than that I have been clean since 2003.


    I would think Chris Pearson would be the best forum member to answer your question as he has a fair bit of experience in doing periodic inspections on non electrical installations.


    Kellie best follow the advice of the doctors rather than us electrical badgers even those of us with an expired First Aid certificate who have had the odd dabble and have a 1 out of 3 success rate in CPR.
