    • Close Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)

      Whilst refereeing soccer I had to stop as AF came to the fore in April 2004 during a game. This kept occuring, particularly during sport. I had an investigation in 2005 but they cardiologist couldn't replicate my condition so the ablation didnt occur. I have put on far too much weight and find it hard to lose as I become demoralised as the AF often comes back during exercise. I also have it often when I go to bed. It can occur every day for a month then hardly at all for a month.

      Treatments

      Stress Management Working / Worked
      I try not to worry about things, even though this can be hard. I hate to admit that anxiety can cause AF in me.
