Afib ruining my life

[Tobacco]

I have been dealing with this AF since 2012.I have had 2 catheter ablation's ,19 cartio converions ,pace maker ,and the Watchman.

I am in Afib as I type this waiting for cardio to be scheduled.

You seem to have had all the proactive medical interventions so the only thing left is improving lifestyle choices in the hope that makes life/AF more manageable. Plenty advice on that and AF triggers here.

It’s sad to read that Afib is ruining your life. Are you able to give a little more information so that people can understand the issues better? I hope your cardio appointment comes up with something that can ease the discomfort - we all experience Afib differently and it’s good to find an EP who understands this. Good luck.

What symptoms do you suffer? It seems such a variable condition. In my case, it is increasing in frequency but decreasing in symptomatology. I keep my fingers crossed and have an ablation coming in the future.

are you overwight, just asking. If you can get down to bmi 22 ish it may help.

I am 6ft 3in aged 67. Was nearly 15 stones. BMI c 27 and consultant simply said if you want to help yourself lose 2 stones. I did and it has. Did it in 2 months. No spuds, cheese, biscuits or crisps. If you are bmi 22 ish already well done
