    I did ask “Did the alarms go off? I don’t remember alarms going off…”

    “Oh, they go off at the nurses station.”

      The alarms wouldn’t have done you any good. Your heart wasn’t even beating. Did you get a pacer or was everything cleared up after stenting?

        No pacemaker, but I have an implant that monitors any more outages. There have been some minor ones, biggest was 5 seconds or so. Doc says it’s not concerning if it happens when I’m sleeping, they want to make sure it doesn’t happen when I’m awake.

        And I’m like “I’m not sure of the functional difference there, but then I’m also not a cardiologist.”

          Yeah that’s wild that sleeping pauses are different. Cool though you have a record of your heart stoppages.
