Thanks for all of your replies and good advice but I know what I'm doing and just trying to improve my life and forget about the AFIB for a short time.Must be playing on my mind as I had a dream last night that I was swimming in the sea and I seen a large fin coming towards me like a shark.very strange.
Stay safe everyone
Good luck to you ,
You have taken the advice of your health team and have weighed up the for's and against and have come to your conclusion that this activity is safe for you.
I hope you have taken into account others around you, that should you have any problems will need to help you, the shock , upset and difficulty of getting someone that's in trouble out of the water and to medical help can be life changing for them.
I have given up diving / swimming for this very reason, I could not justify putting the pressure and upset on anyone else recovering me { having been party to some thing similar years ago }
Take care
Do you not think some men can be less cautious in that way ? It’s more about their feelings. Extreme sports fanatics never worry about what nearest dearest go through , wearing their nerves down. Until.
More gung ho .
Very interesting and I think that you are right, but not just men.
It certainly seems that its all about them, but if your not that type of human it is extremely hard to understand their full force of grabbing every last moment of life.
Illness and experiences have made me cautious and a little green with envy.
As stated in post , for those dealing with the person in heart attack, it’s horrid . It is selfish to not think about those around you to grab extra life . Just saying 🙏🏻
