AF can limit your activities and whilst you are in AF - the answer is not really but it is really difficult to know if it is the meds or the AF. I didn’t mind feeling rough when in AF - but on meds I felt rough he whole time - as soon as I stopped taking the meds I felt good on non AF days.

Everyone is different, I’m very symptomatic but others won’t even know they have AF so it’s comoletely random.

Good for you! A first step towards coping with this condition and putting it into the background of your life. I find that pacing my activities means I can do most things - just need more time than I did before AF.

The secret is to know your body and not to push things too much at a time. Gradually increase what you can do and still feel OK.

Best wishes
