wolf-parkinson-white is a heart defect.its not related to parkinsons disease,its just the name of the three doctors who "discovered" it.there are pathways in the heart for electrical currents to pass through(the heart & brain are powered by electricity that is in the body).i was born with an extra pathway.therefore there was to much electrical activity in my heart.it laid dormant until i was 14(this is typical).i would get attacks out of nowhere even when i was relaxing on the couch,my heart would race and i would get dizzy and have a hard time breathing.i would go to the ER and they never knew what it was. finally when i was 17,i had my worst attack at school,the whole left side of my body went numb.it was very embarrasing,everyone stared at me through the windows as i was leaving the school in a stretcher.i got to the ER,my heartrate was 242 beats per minute(normal pulse rate is 60-90)i was given some shot in the chest that made my heartrate drop to 100 within 2 seconds.it felt like i was having a heart attack.i was transfered to
