Welcome to the mad world of AF Oaktreebee. Everyone here has it and we all understand - and remember - what it felt like to get such a diagnosis. However, there is plenty of knowledge and support here and if there is anything you need to know - just ask.

Hello and welcome Oaktreebee. There is a mass of information available on the AF Association webpages which will help you to understand the complexities of AF together with the treatment options used to manage the condition. Many here can add there own personal experiences which, as we all know from experience, will help you to move forward.

Suggest you watch Dr Sanjay Gupta ‘s video on AFIb it explains things about our condition extremely well. More knowledge of it is important to us. Wish you well.

Welcome, this group is a wonderful source of knowledge, compassion and sympathy and the best place to visit if you feel overwhelmed by what is happening to you (and even if not!)

Do ask absolutely anything you need to know on here & all the wonderful people on here will answer, or direct you where to find the most relevant information. No worry is too minor to share here & you will feel heaps better just by feeling supported and gaining as much knowledge about AF as you can.

Best wishes
