Underwent my first cardioversion yesterday after pills failed to rest my heart to normal. The process was very simple and was over in just a few minutes. Wuke up fresh in just a few minutes feeling just fine. I had a medical procedure go wrong the week before which blinded my dominant 20/20 corrected and now I'm using a 20/60 rye. man has my world been upended. I am wondering if the shock of the eye problem could have caused the heart problem,.

It’s possible, stress, anxiety and AF often go together. However, it’s good news that the CV has got you back into rhythm.

Suggest you take it as easy as possible to give your heart the chance to settle and avoid alcohol, caffeine and large meals for a while. Lifestyle improvements can have a massive effect on improving and reducing AF.
