Hi all. If my OMRON detected irregular heartbeats and it keeps appearing, my pulse is around 60-70 btw (usually 50s), is it OK to take a brisk walk today? I feel asymptomatic right now, but wondering what the overall take is on exercise while waiting for heart to go back to normal rhythm?

On an interesting note, when I had my first ablation with Dr. Natale, in addition to isolating my LAA, he commented that two of my pulmonary veins had self ablated! Not even sure how that happened, but I'm guessing because I had Afib so often and over a 10 year period....]]> tobherd AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 09 Jan 2022 19:40:51 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183921#msg-183921 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183921#msg-183921 Ken AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 09 Jan 2022 15:13:04 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183909#msg-183909 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183909#msg-183909
I like Ken who has replied below, was unable to exercise during an afib event. A majority of my episodes were triggered by exercise, which as an athlete was not optimal. The couple times I did try to push through an event did not end well and I would not recommend it.

As a side note I did notice that once an afib event subsided, the chances of subsequent events was extremely low. During that time I would self convert to NSR fairly quickly. However, as my afib progressed the chances of subsequent events increased and it took longer to convert back to NSR requiring the PIP approach.]]> rocketritch AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 09 Jan 2022 00:55:49 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183907#msg-183907 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183907#msg-183907
I took long hikes in steep terrain and bike rides of 20-75 mile rides almost daily for several years while experiencing afib and flutter. I even did a 50-mile bike ride three days after an ablation with the EP's blessing.

As for what George mentioned, I went through a two-year period of experiencing multiple episodes of atrial flutter per week that hit extremely high rates (250 bpm). I found that many times I could terminate them with intense exercise. If I was outside, I would find a steep hill and walk or jog up it briskly. If I was at home or work, I would jog up and down stairways. I discovered this by accident but it worked semi-reliably for a two-year period.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 09 Jan 2022 00:04:39 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183904#msg-183904 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183904#msg-183904 Lee2022 AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 08 Jan 2022 21:20:45 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183898#msg-183898 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183898#msg-183898 GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 08 Jan 2022 18:15:54 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183891#msg-183891 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,183891,183891#msg-183891
