I was told NOT to exercise whenever I'm in a fib. That's just me though. I haven't exercised in a long time due to this.

ok so to me that is surpriseing how does one know that you are in afib ,
i mean so that means since you have afib you take no walks and do any kind of physical activity .

When I'm in afib I can walk it off. but that is just me. My dr. told me to do what I can without over doing it.

I did slow down the intensity of the exercize, I was afraid I would over do it.
Also I tthink when I'm in afib and exercizing I am getting more of a workout because my heart is going faster than normal.
I walk 6 days a week, but you really need to check out what is best for you, personally with your Dr.

Interesting different reactions to a fib. I go into a high heart rate with my a fib, so they thought exercising would make it go too high.

A friend's husband who is in a fib all the time is told by his doctor to just do what he does normally. If he usually exercises, continue that. So I think it's very individual. Best to check with your doctor.

I am in afib all the time and was told since the beta blocker is controlling my heart rate I can exercise any time.

I wanted to go to a Zumba class in July, but, I just could not get myself to the gym. I did a Yoga class instead. When I got home, I checked my bp, my monitor repeadidly showed irregular heartbeat. I went to dr. to have him check, and the ekg confirmed I was in afib. For me, since the afib, I just do not have the desire to exercise . I have enjoyed exerciseing for many yrs. so this is frustrating for me. I walk now, 1-2.5 miles most days. I enjoy this very much
