I have been suffering from AF since last summer,but am having superb treatment from my GP and local hospital. Am on anticoagulants and beta blockers and have been fitted with a heart monitor for 72hours. Early days yet but fingers crossed.

Makes a change to read a positive post Solara. Don't forget to read all you can from AF Association website so you can properly engage with your doctors. Knowledge is power.

Hi solara. My gp is very good had referral monitors etc, but nobody can advise me what I can do to improve my condition which is frustrating
