I have been diagnosed with Afib for about 15 years and it gradually moved from occasional to persistant and recently because of shortness of Breath I have been told I am in Heart Failure. It doesn't seem too diferent but the name is concerning. Comments and help please. Mary

Hi Maryjc, I find my self in exactly the same position. Im reading all

I can about the condition and it seems the one thing we can do as

much as possible is exercise. I know its hard but walking can help

plus watching your salt intake and fluid amounts.

You now know as much as I do, next time you have an appointment

ask questions.

Not what you're looking for?
