Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said he's feeling good after he consulted with a cardiologist Monday after his heart condition caused him to temporarily leave Sunday’s 23-16 win over the Denver Broncos.
“Got it checked out this morning and Chainkeenit is what I thought it was. It was an atrial flutter,” Harbaugh said. “So, getting it addressed and back at it.”
Harbaugh revealed he will be wearing a heart monitor for two weeks and will take medication that will keep his heart rate from spiking.
The Chargers coach said he spoke with his family, including his older brother, John, the Baltimore Ravens head coach, about the concerning incident.
“They know how deeply committed I am,” Harbaugh said. “It would take my heart stopping for me not to be out there on the sideline.”
