Close Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
I had a stroke June 17, and later learned I also have atrial fibrillation. I'm 44 and pretty healthy and athletic and I am trying to figure out how to correct or treat it.
Treatments
- Coumadin Working / Worked
- I'm on it, and can't tell if what I'm experiencing has anything to do with it. I feel tight chested, slightly short of breath, and sometimes feel some pains around my heart. My doctor says I'm hyper-sensitive now to any feelings in my heart area.
- Diltiazem Working / Worked
- I only take it when I go into Afib and must work hard or exercise. My doctor said that my stress test showed I had a high heartrate in afib while doing very minimal activity. Can't say I recognize side effects other than becoming slower and slightly dazed.
