AFIB

[Ryman2007]

I have AFIB and had to go to the hospital to get my heart back in sync. I think I caught a bad flu bug which dehydrated me. Can anyone tell me how long you can live AFIB?

HI there do you have a diagnosis for Hughes Syndrome/APS? MaryF

Hi, the answer to your question slightly differs if you have APS/Hughes.

We are not here to give personal medical advice. We share our experiences and give support.

Let us know a little more about you, whether you have diagnoses, where you are etc?

We can then help and answer your questions.

Sorry, I may be on the wrong link. I was diagnosed with AFIB a couple of years ago. I had prepped for a colonoscopy and my was beating so fast by the time I got to the hospital they sent me to the ER. I was given an EKG and hooked up to an IV. They finally got my heart back in sync. I have been on blood thinner ( xzerolto) and diltiazem to correct my heart rhythm. I am 69 and will turn 70 in August. I have always been active. But have some things in my life which has caused much stress. I had to go to the emergency room again this past week and my heart went back into rhythm finally. I asked if there was any damage to my heart and was told no. Thankful for that. Thanks for your time. Do take care.

No problem, hope you stabilise soon and feel better.

Try and stay active.

It was stabilized before I left the hospital. I had a hip replacement a few weeks prior to going in. All I have to do now is keep up with my exercises. Nice talking with you.
