Thanks so much for all the prayers and good wishes. DH had his stress test and echocardiogram done before Christmas and then he met last Thursday with the cardiologist for the results. The cardio said that everything came back perfect ~ they have absolutely no idea why it happened and it may never happen again. He's been off the medicine since 12/16 (he only had to be on it for a week). The cardiologist cleared him to start running again ~ he's been about 4 times since last Thursday :)
There is a chance that it may happen again and he does have to see the cardiologist every 6 months or so for 2-3 years but other than that everything looks good ~ yay :)
Thanks again for all the support, offers to help and good wishes ~ it really means alot to both of us!!! DH couldn't believe that all these people he had never met were offering to help :)
Update: First ~ thank you all SO much for all the good wishes ~ they are working :) DH had his initial appt with the cardiologist today. He had an EKG done today and is scheduled to have his stress test tomorrow afternoon and his echocardiogram done on Friday ~ this cardio has them done in his office which is about 2 minutes from DH's office so this makes everything super easy too. The cardio said they didn't know why this happened and we probably won't. His only restriction right now is no running until we get the results from both the stress test and the echo. We meet with him 2 weeks after and at that point if the results are good he will be able to come off the medication to see how he does and may be able to resume running. DH really liked this cardio too so that is a plus
Please keep the good wishes coming, I'll update when we know more

DH spent Saturday night in the hospital in a-fib (atrial fibrilation). Luckily he came out of it on medication ~ the next step would have been to put him under anesthesia and "shock" his heart. What we think we're looking at is a bundle conduction defect that he has probably had his whole life but he is going in tomorrow morning for a full cardiac work-up to find out more.
He is upset because he is young, in good health and exercises regularly and it kills him to think he has to take a break from running. He is obviously going to do whatever he needs to at this point which is to take it fairly easy until we know more.
So any prayers and/or positive thoughts we could have sent our way would be wonderful ~ I've seen what the power of the BBB can do :)
Thanks so much!!!
