Working on reduced hours

I have PAF and was working fulll time until 6weeks ago, I have reduced my hours from 39 to 33 hours per week. The trouble I am finding that I am still shattered at the end of each day. When we are flat out at work I am finding my heart pumping from around 135 to 170bpm for around 3-4hrs a day. Employers not very sympathetic, They have all the information they need from hospital to occy health, I am stressing out each day too wondering what they are going to do about my job, Sorry for the rant but does anyone think I may be doing to much on a daily basis and pushing my ticker to the limit.

Yes here in US afib is always kind and gentle so expected to work. No disability or downtime.

To be fair I was in a similar situation and ended up leaving my job and going on sick benefits I loved the job and didn't want to leave but I was so fatigued I was worried I might harm myself or others x

Yes 🙈🙈🌺Please change your job

When i had mine i was lucky to have worked for nhs

I completly stopped took 1 year off to focus on me

A health journey you could say i am divorced so it was and still is a money struggle

But i am happy with that

I now have new job very easy and flexi

Changes job change food change mind set

Please the point i that paf kicks in is when the body is acidic because of all the stress

So what u are doing to your body is making yourself more inflammed

Pkease love your self find a way to chMge thing s and research

Listen to your body start yoga and mindfulness 🌺💪🏻
