I’m used to feeling tired afterwards but first time if felt a bit breathless once back in NSR. It was a long time and had breathless episodes during the 6 days. Has anyone else felt like this? Thanks

hi there! I usually go into AF a few times a week lasting a few hours, however, I have come back from holiday and it’s now been a week! I am on the waiting list for an Ablation, but I am going to ring the cardiologist today to see if I need to increase my medication. I feel lousy, dizzy & sweaty when in AF! X

I had a cardioversion not quite three weeks ago now and I won’t say my breathing is perfect although I definitely feel better. It depends what I do to get breathless and I don’t expect to be 100% this fast I am just thankful that life five months of 158 or so HR is now 82 or lower. It takes our body time to transition I have no doubt. If I can stay NSR for any length of time I am happy. My doctor said the five months of tachycardia was like taking a five month stress test for my heart
