Much to my surprise, I graduated a couple of weeks ago (23 June ‘21) and could not have been more delighted. So, having achieved my goal I was determined to keep running. But how to do it?

Well, my pulse rate is mostly regular now. The strange thing is, I can still feel it doing the occasional somersault and palpitations, even though the pulse remains regular. Anyone else had this?

Had two ablations the last one September 2020. Have taken Apixaban and 1.25mg Bisoprolol after reduction from 2.5mg.
