He quickly went into the medical tent for an evaluation, where an EKG confirmed his heart \u200dhad returned to normal rhythm. After receiving IV fluids, Harbaugh rejoined his team on the sidelines, which was already leading 3-0. <\/p>\n<p>Despite the scare, the \u200dChargers went on to win the game 23-16. Harbaugh disclosed that he has a history\u200d of atrial flutter\u200b and had\u2064 previously undergone ablation \u2062procedures in 1999 and 2012 for similar issues. He expressed relief that everything turned\u200b out fine and emphasized\u2063 the importance\u200d of \u200btrusting medical professionals. His quarterback, Justin \u200bHerbert, was unaware of the situation\u200c until after the game, while Harbaugh planned to follow up with his cardiologist. The victory was celebrated by Harbaugh, who praised the team\u2019s performance across all\u200d aspects of the game.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Jim Harbaugh listened to his heart when he began to feel a little bit off in pregame warmups.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NFLonCBS\/status\/1845591559204491407\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> coach went into the medical tent and then to the locker room in the first quarter Sunday to get checked out for an irregular heartbeat.

He vividly remembers that procedure because it was after a Monday night game where Colin Kaepernick led the 49ers to a 32-7 win over the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n<p>Harbaugh said he hadn&rsquo;t really experienced another episode until this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I started feeling it last night, but wasn&rsquo;t really sure,&rdquo; Harbaugh said. &ldquo;Just like in 2012, it was during the pregame warmups &mdash; I kind of started feeling.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Harbaugh tried to interject some humor &mdash; &ldquo;2-0 in arrhythmias,&rdquo; he cracked.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert was caught off guard by the news that his coach had left the sideline &mdash; or that anything was amiss. Although, he said Harbaugh mentioned something about his health Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He said he was really excited for the game. He said his blood was flowing, and he was excited,&rdquo; said Herbert, who completed 21 of 34 passes for 237 yards and one touchdown. &ldquo;I thought everything was good to go. That&rsquo;s definitely something he should get checked out. He&rsquo;s a tough guy, though.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Harbaugh said that when he was in the locker room, the medical staff took his pulse and conducted an EKG.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Trust the doctors. If you&rsquo;re not going to trust your doctors, who are you gonna trust?&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Came back in to the locker room, and the paramedics came, got an EKG and said it was back to the sinus (normal) rhythm, and I said, &lsquo;I feel good.&rsquo; I went back out there on the field.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Harbaugh plans to follow up with his cardiologist on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>When he left the sideline as the game started, the Chargers described his absence as an illness. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter took over until Harbaugh returned midway through the first quarter with the Chargers ahead 3-0 and driving toward another score. The Chargers jumped out to a 23-0 lead in the second half before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nfl-indefinitely-suspends-broncos-player-gambling-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Broncos<\/a> made a late surge.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It was a great and glorious win for the team,&rdquo; Harbaugh said. &ldquo;Really proud of our team, pleased.

The Los Angeles Chargers coach entered the medical tent and later the locker room in the first quarter on Sunday to check for an irregular heartbeat. An EKG confirmed his heart had returned to normal rhythm, allowing him to rejoin his team, which was already leading 3-0. His team continued strong, winning 23-16 against the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Justin Herbert was unaware of Harbaugh&#8217;s absence on the sideline, while their brother John Harbaugh, coach of Baltimore, paused his postgame press conference after a win over Washington to check on him. Jim stated that everything turned out fine after receiving IV fluids and being examined by doctors: &#8220;It\u2019s the heart; you take it seriously.&#8221; He has dealt with atrial flutter for some time and underwent ablation procedures in 1999 and 2012 for irregular rhythms but hadn&#8217;t experienced issues until this weekend. He humorously noted he was &#8220;2-0 in arrhythmias.&#8221; Herbert expressed surprise at learning about Harbaugh&#8217;s health scare but recalled that Harbaugh seemed excited before the game. After being checked by medical staff during halftime, Jim felt good enough to return to coaching. The Chargers initially described his absence as due to illness; defensive coordinator Jesse Minter filled in until Jim returned midway through the first quarter with a lead of 3-0 as they went on to secure a significant victory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2354696,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8bdc1896b1d1404a993444d97bd98e08-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[15456,42978,37385,13220],"class_list":["post-2354695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-chargers","tag-heart-issue","tag-jim-harbaugh","tag-mid-game"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8bdc1896b1d1404a993444d97bd98e08-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2354695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2354695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2354695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2354696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2354695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2354695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2354695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
