Eddie Judge Has Fourth Heart Procedure in Four Months

April 17, 2018 by tamaratattles 38 Comments

Eddie Judge has been in the hospital with heart issues four times in the last four months. This is not good. Eddie has atrial fibrillation which is basically when your heart isn’t beating properly. Sinus rhythm is what your heart is supposed to do and atrial fibrillation is when it is doing something else.  Tamra doesn’t disclosure what yesterday’s surgery was but if I had to guess, I’d say they put in a pace maker to regulate the rhythm. I’ve mentioned before that my mother went through all of this and eventually died of a stroke. It’s very serious and something that I expect to deal with if I ever have insurance. Eddie is really  young for this. I believe he is about 45.  So many thoughts and prayers going out.

I just reread Tamra’s post and it is a cardioversion. a medical procedure where a cardiac arrhythmia is converted to a normal rhythm using electricity or drugs. So they are not at the pacemaker stage yet.

I’m super concerned about Eddie and Tamra. I hope Vicki is being a friend through all of this.

    Scary stuff! I wonder if this will effect his weight training or if all that working out actually helps the problem?

      If he has been using steroids (I don’t think he has), that definitely won’t help. Pretty much every serious lifter takes some kind of supplements, even if not steroids, to help max out their ability to lift heavier weights. Almost all, if not all, of these are off-limits to anyone with heart issues.

      I feel bad for Eddie. He makes his living doing exercise. For such a young man and such a physically active man, it seems very upsetting.

    My father had this as well in his early 40’s and eventually had triple bypass and the pacemaker. He was eventually placed on a heart transplant list and recently passed away after an extended period of time in the ICU. My prayers to Eddie and Tamara that they have a much different outcome.

      My condolences, Kay. I, sorry he didn’t get his transplant.

      My dad has had serious heart issues for nearly 50 years. If it were not for the miracle-working wizards at the Cleveland Clinic, he have been dead years ago.

      Prayers for Eddie’s recovery and future good health.

        Kay, I lost my Dad too recently. He was my biggest fan, my rock and my Daddy. I miss him so. I asked him to show himself to me when he’s gone.

        My first day back to work, a beautiful bald eagle was flying in the sky and seemed to follow me to work. On the way to his funeral, a huge Red Tail Hawk (my fav bird) was sitting on a fence 3′ from my car and stated right at me until the light turned green.

        I believe you’ll have “coincidences” too.

          Oh they exist. The day my brother was having a Memorial service, I opened the back door and a yellow butterfly flew away into the woods. This was March…too early for butterflies…

            So weird you posted this today. My mom stops by as a butterfly. Just hours ago I realized that I had not seen her in a very long time and said it outloud. Not long after a butterfly flew right up to the window I sit by all day. I know it sounds crazy, and I’m agnostic (sorry, mom) but I just know it’s her somehow. With my dad, for some reason I think he is a cardinal. I don’t know why. The connection isn’t as strong with him though.

    Heart issues are so scary. I hope everything goes well and he has a great recovery.
    He is young and I imagine great shape, which is why it is extra frightening also, cause it’s so easy to assume that if you are physically fit, your heart is also.
    Going to hope the family is fine, Tamra is okay, and the friends she truly needs are there for her.

    ugh I think they have to “shock” his heart back into normal rhythm. That must be terrifying. I was terrified they would have to do that with my son when he had SVT. Thankfully that never had to happen, I would have needed it myself afterwards if that occurred! Poor Tamra and Eddie.

      I’ve had it. In the hospital you’re given some IV drug, and if it doesn’t work they hit you with the paddles. But you’re put out for it.

    My cousin works in cardio, and literally laughed out loud at Tamra’s post. She said this is so run of the mill, it isn’t considered a surgery but a procedure, and that she had attended two of them that day.

    Not to say the need for 4 in a month isn’t outside the norm/slightly concerning, but the level of hand-wringing/prayer requesting is, in her professional opinion, massive overkill.

      Run of the mill for the medical professionals, maybe, but not the nonmedical people going through it. I hope your cousin is able to feign compassion for her patients.

        *eyeroll* No, she laughs in the patient’s face. Get real. My only point was that Tamra was inflating an issue into something larger than it is.

        My cousin does not have an issue with empathy or compassion. She is just a realist about what this procedure actually IS.

      Agree. Hubs has afib and a cardioversion is scary the first time, if you aren’t familiar with it; but now we’re both fine with it. Now we’re in there multiple times a year for CV. Hubs cardiologist specializes in rhythm issues, and doesn’t think hubs is a candidate for either a pacemaker or an ablation; because his episodes hit in clusters and can be directly linked to his stress levels. The blood thinners carry a much higher mortality rate than the procedure. It’s much ado about nothing, but Tamra is Tamra.

      I was going to say the same thing. My Mother has so many heart issues and every step has been scary so Tamara and Eddie have every reason to be scared. Hearts don’t heal themselves. A pacemaker is no big deal either, in and out which doesn’t mean it’s not emotional for the patient & loved ones.
      Steroids can cause so much damage. My brother played football at a large powerhouse university where they were handed out like gummy bears. It’s scary to think about what damage was caused. Eddie doesn’t look like a steroid user. He is muscular but relatively small. Steroid users bulk up to unbelievable sizes.

      I wish Eddie the best

    I’ve had a pace maker for over 9 years, the initial one replaced in 2016. I’ve been on blood thinners since my 5 by-pass surgery in 1996. I have had so many angioplastys I’ve lost count, and have 8 stents in my’
    chest. Getting the pace maker was the easiest procedure I’ve had. Cardio vert(or what ever they call it) where they shock your heart to get it back in rhythm was kind of scary the first time. I’m now 76, and still
    going, taking lots of meds every day, but feeling pretty good, considering the shape I’m in. Eddie seems
    a little young for this condition, but everyone’s heart is different. All my heart problems were brought on by
    40 years of smoking 3 plus packs a day, and drinking to excess in my 20s, plus very bad (good food) diet.
    I had a great time, and am paying for it now. I’ve been in and out of the hospital so many times since I was
    52, that it doesn’t seem to be a big deal any more. I’m sure that the first time someone is told they have
    a heart related condition it seems the end of the world. It isn’t, and the best thing Eddie can do is to
    follow doctor’s orders and stay calm. He already knows how to take care of himself. By the way, Tamara, heart patients can still make love.

    Looks to me like Eddie had electrical cardioversion. Although it is considered safe, it is not without risk, and certainly not routine. He already lives a healthy lifestyle, so this must be awful for him. Taking blood thinners and cardiac rhythm regulating drugs, and being in the hospital sucks.

      That must be such an unexpected situation. He does though, do something like 8 classes a day I thought Tamra said, (I could be off on that, been a while since I heard the amount, but it was a lot)
      I wonder if too much stress could be put on the heart just keeping up with running the business. Also, I know it becomes somewhat a craving to accomplish the goals, which is nothing I have dealt with since being twenty five years old. Just hope he heals fast and easily, he has a very devoted and loving wife, I’m sure she’s frantic.
      Hope this gets fixed very quickly. Being young and healthy hopefully will make all the difference.

        Oops, didn’t realize my comment above took.
        I meant by meeting goals, how it can become almost obsessive the goals to working out, and so many classes he teaches. I worry it’s a lot for one person.
        Hope he’s able to let others take the lead and have him recuperating as long as it takes.
        Just hope he’s better very soon, and the family is all doing well.

    It’s refreshing to read the the understanding and compassion expressed to Tamara and Eddie. I understand that some have the opinion that Tamara is being dramatic about Eddies procedure. A few years ago I had a cardiac ablation. For me it was no big deal because I had already had several surgeries including a 16 hour liver transplant- thank you to my donor Matias for the gift of life-. I guess what I’m trying to say is that one persons rainstorm is another persons hurricane. To Eddie and all of you and your loved ones I wish you a speedy recovery .
