Pompon Thank you for your detailed response and apologies for my delay acknowledging it. It is comforting to know that I am not alone and that you too had a genetic predisposition to Afib as well as knowing that endurance exercise can possible contribute to this. Although, I thought running long distance for all those years was good for me!! Glad to hear you are managing this without medsby Ingrid - AFIBBERS FORUM
George Thank you for your response to all of my questions last week and sorry for my delayed acknowledgement! I truly appreciate your insight. It has been very helpful to me - not only from an educational standpoint, but also putting my mind & anxiety over my Afib at ease a bit. I'm hoping to stay in remission as long as I can with just diet, lifestyle and supplements. Again, I apprecby Ingrid - AFIBBERS FORUM
Safib Thank you so much for your response and sorry for my delayed acknowledgment. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me and found it encouraging to me and my plan to try and treat my Afib with diet, lifestyle and supplements for now versus medication, pacemaker or an ablation. When you say detraining - what specifically do you mean by that? Thanks! Ingridby Ingrid - AFIBBERS FORUM
Patrick My EP had me wear an event monitor 3 different times and I never had an AF episode. I bought Kardia for $99 and when I had my last episode I recorded it with that and emailed it to their cardiologist and my EP and both confirmed it was an Afib episode. I guess you would probably know when you have another one though. But here's hoping it was a 1 time event for you.by Ingrid - AFIBBERS FORUM
Daisy Thanks for your response. It was very helpful. Do you still have AF episodes? Do you have any side effects from the flecainide or Eloquis? How long did you have Afib before you had the pacemaker and how long have you had Afib for? Ingridby Ingrid - AFIBBERS FORUM
Patrick Thanks for your kind email. I appreciate your support. I guess we are all in this together and I'm grateful to have this forum for both support and education about Afib. I read your post and am wondering if you had your follow up with your EP yet. Sounds like you are healthy and active so you definitely have that going for you. I totally understand and can relate to the anxietyby Ingrid - AFIBBERS FORUM
Unfortunately, I have had to join this forum as I have recently been diagnosed with Afib, but I am very grateful for it as I see I am not alone. A little background on me…I am 55 yr old healthy female with paroxysmal Afib (vagal) and a low resting HR. I am a runner (have run over 25 half marathons/marathons in the last 15 years); do yoga; meditate, spin class and weights. I am not overweight aby Ingrid - AFIBBERS FORUM
