Living w/Afib
Hi, I am new to this site. I felt a need to reach out to other people who are living with Afib. I was diagnosed with Afib January of 2012 and had a stroke September 28, 2012 (which the doctors attributed to my Afib). Thank God it was a very minor stroke but I am now on Coumadin and still experiencing bouts of Afib fairly regularly. I tried a few medications but they made my symptoms worse. The meds made me feel as if I was jumping out of my skin. I have been to the ER twice because my heart rate was high enough to scare the mess out of me. My cardio doctor suggested ablation but I refused. Just to scary to think about right now. So, bottom line, I am trying to cope with this annoying Afib and not let it take over my life. Thanks for listening.
