Can IBS cause atrial fibrillation?
I believe IBS can cause afib. Many times I get cramping and have exessive bowel movements (like 8-10 a day) and I take an Imodium, I go into afib later in the evening. I thought it was from the Imodium, but I think it is because my potassium goes under 4.0 from the excessive bowel movements. When I get to ER, my potassium is always like 3.8 and if you have afib, they like your potassium to be over 4.0.

Can an EMT treat Peripheral Arterial Disease - PAD?
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), is NOT treated by EMTs. Paramedics can see a PAD on an electrocardiogram (EKG) in the ambulance and administer nitroglycerin for chest pain but that is as far as they go. Only a doctor can diagnose and treat ANYTHING. Not True...we cannot see PAD in an EKG. And regardless of 3what you were told in classes, the purpose of a Paramedic is to do a field diagnosis and treat it. We do NOT treat just symptoms. Case in point, 86 year old pt with a heart rate of 168, bp of 100/64, and fever. Treating the symptoms would mean giving him cardizem for the Afib...which would do nothing but make the pt worse...instead i gave him a bolus of fluid and some O2 which made him better....So yes medics do diagnose and treat what we see....
