Close Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
60 years old, 6'2", 220 lbs. Work out 3 hours/day 3-6 days per week all of my life. Occassional unspecific heart irregularities for 30 years. Bad in last few weeks. Cartiologist now says I have A-Fib.
Treatments
- Metoprolol Somewhat Helpful
- Dr says it lowers my heart rate too much (low 40's at rest). Cut dosage to 25 mg 2x/day.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Somewhat helpful, .125 mg 2x/day
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Don't know yet, still evaluating impact of A-fib on my routine. Have cut back on exercise somewhat
