Diagnosed last week with AFIB

Thank you so much fr your helpful information. I have ordered a Kardia and I have spoken to my primary care doctor through the Mayo portal. He has suggested taking aspirin everyday and would be reluctant to do anything else. My ECG was ordered through the sleep centre and so they have to coordinate my appointment with the cardiology department. That’s how things are done now at the Mayo. Whoever orders your ECG is responsible for coordinating your appointment. I have no idea how often or how long I am in AFIB as I have no symptoms. Now and again I get a feeling like a little electric shock which is almost over before it begins. Don’t know if this is related. I do have access to healthcare in the U.K. but of course would prefer to be treated here before I go as I have been a patient at the Mayo for over 17 years and they know my full history. I have been calling the sleep centre everyday at 8.00am and 3.00pm with no luck. I will try 10.00am and see if I do better. Thank you again. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer me!

If you are anywhere near London over the next 5 months…there is now a Mayo Clinic in London (W1B 1PT) +44 20 7871 2575. I would assume they would have access to your Mayo records in the USA…may be worth a call before you leave. (I’m also a Mayo patient; our son lives in the UK, US Embassy.)
