Living with A-fibb Diagnosis: My Story

Hi there. You must eliminate all caffeine. Eliminate energy drinks. And be careful with drinking alcohol. And most definitely eliminate stress and those that causes you stress. God bless.

I was diagnosed with afib during my hospitalization with covid during Dec 2021. I didn't even know it was happening. My cardiologist suggested me using one of those things they put on your finger to check your oxygen level. It also has a pulse meter in it. I was told I'm ok as long as my pulse stays under 100. I am on eliquis for the afib, and other meds for blood pressure (lisinopril, amlodiprine, and carvedudlol) I was hoping to get off of some of this medicine, but my cardiologist said I was on a good combo for me.

Just note all your symptoms for your doctor and keep track of the episodes. Had my 2nd cardioversion this week. I really don't think if worked. I am heading for an ablation I think. For those that had a ablation how was it. Is it inpatient or outpatient?

I was diagnosed with A-fib about 7 years ago. My heart was shocked back into place. After that I've been doing good. Except for this year. I had an ablation on March 28, 2022. That's the first one I have had. I'm doing very good now. Just keep on top of what is happening with your heart. Also I pray that you have a good cardiologist

Just keep track of your episodes. I ended up having a ablation and haven't had a problem since
