Hi Vonnie that is good news, I am pleased they didn't find anything nasty.

[Vonnieruth in reply to doodle68]

Thank you doodle Time I got my life back on track I think

[doodle68 in reply to Vonnieruth]

Yes that sounds good Vonnie but I think like some of us have done, it is wise to look upon it as a warning and a second chance and to see what lifestyle changes we can make to help our stressed hearts.

[Vonnieruth in reply to doodle68]

Oh yes that's certain

[Hilly22]

That's fantastic Vonnie. Big relief eh? x

[Vonnieruth in reply to Hilly22]

Oh yes Hilly Very big relief

[pottypete1]

No news is good news.

What good news.

Hopefully you will be able to start relaxing and forgetting about the dreaded AF. It may come back occasionally but in all probability it was most likely a one off incident.

Hope you stay in regular NSR ad infinitum.

Pete

Thank you Pete I have to keep taking the tablets but like I was told today.Think of a car and my meds are keeping the engine ruining

[Smokie2D]

Good news

[Vonnieruth in reply to Smokie2D]

Yes thank you Smokie

[IanMK]

Good news!

Now you’re better informed through your time in this forum you should find it easier to deal with should you get another episode.

Keep up with any necessary lifestyle changes and carry on enjoying life. 👍

[Vonnieruth in reply to IanMK]

Thanks Ian I will still take things carefully

Hi Yvonne that is great news so I’m pleased for you 😄😄

[BobD Volunteer]

Good news Vonnie. Now do what I have been telling you and get on with the rest of your life. As my old Grandma used to say, you are a long time dead!

[Vonnieruth in reply to BobD]

Thanks Bob Have to stay on apixavan and beta blocker though They was going to see if could come off Apixaban but score said no

[BobD Volunteer in reply to Vonnieruth]

Anticoagulation is all our safety net Vonnie. As you know I haven't had AF for over ten years but would rather cut off an interesting part of my anatomy than stop my warfarin.

[Vonnieruth in reply to BobD]

Well I was told to think of myself as a car and my meds were helping my engine to keep running

[Finvola]

Great news Vonnie - and such a relief for you, I’m sure.

Keep with the lifestyle changes and keep positive.

[Vonnieruth in reply to Finvola]

Thank you Finvola I'm going to try my hardest

[jeanjeannie50]

Great news all is well Vonnie, now back to work I'm afraid! X

[Vonnieruth in reply to jeanjeannie50]

Yer thinking if phased back to work then maybe part time The sister at hospital said perhaps it was time to think of myself now

[Gwersey]

So pleased for you. Hope you continue to be Afib free. But check in here every so often. No doubt we'll all still be here. Well, I hope so 😅.

[Vonnieruth]

Thank you I won't be leaving here Too many good people and who knows when I may need advice or support again

[Bagrat]

So pleased for you. Hope everything more bearable now you are reassured and a forum member!

[Buffafly]

Great news! I hadn't pictured you as a car but now trying to decide what make and model 😀

[Vonnieruth in reply to Buffafly]

So long as it isn't a burnt out old banger lol

[JaneFinn]

I’m so glad to hear that, Vonnie! What a relief, eh?

Your protective meds are keeping the engine running - so now you can make sure you make the most of your journey ahead

Glad to hear you’ll still be checking in here too sometimes, or we’d miss you x

[Vonnieruth]

Aw thank you Jane Couldn't leave you all now No way

[bennie06]

Hope you have binned your worry beads. Good luck in the future and bet you'll miss pisting here (not!). You never did want to become a AF mastermind!

[Vonnieruth]

Lol Thanks Beenie.Im staying here Couldn't leave all you lovely people I may still need your advise some day

[wilsond]

Thats good news.So annoying though when AF is elusive just when we want it to happen!

Best wishes xx

[Vonnieruth]

Never thought of it like that to be honest Was just happy I was not in AF any more So now I'm trying to blank the thought of it may come back

[doodle68 in reply to Vonnieruth]

Vonnie if it does you know now not to be scared, try to stay calm and practice your slow breathing and it will pass.

[Vonnieruth]

I will Doodle Thank you

[Cheriemaria]
