I have AF but I also have COPD(mild I think) and I have 4 monthly checks in theory in fact I make them 6 monthly. I do use two puffers but that is the only lung medication. Cardiologist has never suggested that I see my respiratory physician but Respiratory guy often tells me that my breathless problems are for the cardiologist. What has heaped my fitness level is swimming 3 times weekly for 30 minutes.
