Af professional driving restrictions imposed by DVLA

[Biancasdad]

Hi all as an A/F sufferer of some years standing around 2012 I believe though murky memory syndrome is not helped by the rivoroxaban or the beats blockers etc. Whether it was a natural diagnosis process allied to my age ie 63 years of age Ablation or reset was not offered to me I was told categorically that the arythmia would return almost immediately and that ablation was not an option so warfarin for life it is. Consequent research would seem to indicate that the af was a probable natural progression of my sleep apnoea a. And grand hypertension. Although healthy lifestyle had not been my favourite forte I am a listener and willing to take advice and act on it but having blissfully unwaringly been a patient at a surgery where our gp was subsequently struck off ignorance had taken its due course. The incidence of progression via sleep apnoea to af is now widely evidenced and even in my early 20s I suffered from apnoea even though I was of slightly less than average weight and reached obesity in late 40s after giving up smoking and adopting a sedan try way of living Have other sufferers in my generational group had similar transitions?

63 is still young , have you ever seen an EP? if not then you need to get your GP to refer you.

Also, is your Sleep Apnea being treated? it really needs to be!

I would agree with the previous reply, ask to be referred to an EP. And if your GP won't then you need to change your GP. You are not the first on this forum whose condition has deteriorated due to badly managed AF.

Best of luck.
