I agree
- but it turns out a LOT of people needlessly die from this, and it
is
"easily" corrected (though the "big zap" is not pleasant) -
but ignoring
it WILL
cause death within minutes/days/weeks/months(?). I went
back
and continued working after it started, since the symptoms were
so
moderate - but the *very* irregular pulse-rate is the give-away
that
something must be done. I had to be convinced that doing
something
about it was important - but as a result, I am now almost
"normal"
(though not quite "together" again, yet...;-). Maybe this
information
can help save someone...
