A Houston man named Franklin Aribeana suffered from heart failure after drinking ice-cold water during a workout. The cold water triggered atrial fibrillation (Afib) in his body, which is when the heart beats out of rhythm.
He had an irregular heartbeat and an enlarged part of his heart before he started drinking cold water during workouts.
A Houston man named Franklin Aribeana suffered from heart failure after drinking ice-cold water during a workout. The cold water triggered atrial fibrillation (Afib) in his body, which is when the heart beats out of rhythm. This condition was caused by an irregular heartbeat and an enlarged part of his heart that made him more susceptible to eratic beats caused by cold water hitting his throat. The vagus nerve runs from the brain to your chest and is meant to regulate your heartbeat, but when it's touched by ice-cold water, it can cause a reaction in the body. Aribeana had an irregular heartbeat and an enlarged part of his heart before he started drinking cold water during workouts. He was hospitalized more than 20 times over a period of 15 years for chest pain, but never knew the reason until that last major episode when he connected the dots with doctors. After connecting the dots, Aribeana had heart surgery and has not been to the hospital since then.
