Thank you , to be honest I’ve not really changed my outlook on life I still do all the things I used to but try to go for a 45 min walk about 3-4 times a week. Hopefully things will improve for you very soon

Hi Ashchar78, thanks for reply gives hope to us all. I personally have found it difficult mentally and have had a few anxiety attacks which definitely do not help at all. I’m just getting used to what I have, I overdid the exercise regime to start with which didn’t help at all. Now following the heart teams regime of excersises short walks 4 times a week. Spoken to someone about my anxiety and that has helped me tremendously. Also this forum and posts like yours really help. Your right try and keep your life as near to normal as you can and make sure you listen to the professionals. Thanks for your post and reply.👍

Hi that's good news well done, I'd just like to ask was it the meds that did it or did you exercise and eat healthier aswell, I have had AFIB, and LVSD since Sep 20 with EF 45%.

Hi Chris Thanks for your reply, reading your story sounds like you have the same as me it was great news to receive from the doctor last year I’m just waiting on a follow up appointment so hopefully can come off some meds soon. I seen you had ablation a while back has that helped with the afib? I’ve had AF for about 6 years now but yet been offered one.

Take care

Dave
