Close Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
I was recently diagnosed with AFIB in Oct 2008. I am struggling with the anxiety associated with how I feel. It is difficult to speak to my future wife about this because I don't won't her to worry more than she already does.
Treatments
- Digoxin Working / Worked
- The first try with Digoxin was not pleasant. Anxiety attacks and shortness of breath. After going back into AFIB 7 months after the first time, they put me back on it. This time everything seems to be fine. I am approaching this episode more relaxed and accepting. I believe the first time on Digoxin that I was overly sensitive to the effects on my body and probably more was anxiety than anything else.
- Atenolol Working / Worked
- I think this drug has been great for me. Both for my heart and for any anxiety.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Daily exercise helps in a big way for me to reduce stress and anxiety associated with my heart condition.
