I'm new here. I'm an 82 year old male, who used to be very active (a Volunteer Fireman until about a year ago). I have afib, on Eliquis (5 Mg twice a day) and just had an Ablation to try and correct the afib; but in the midst, just diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Any help appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear that and I would say the IPF is the more serious condition so probably the British Lung Foundation site might be more helpful. Of course you are welcome here 😃
