I told the ER doctor about my heart rate going up when exercising. He did not tell me to limit anything or make any changes. My PCP has been useless. I finally see a cardiologist in December. I am reading the book "You Are The Placebo" by Joe Dispenza as I firmly believe that our thoughts and emotions can heal the body, and I'm learning to meditate more intentionally.
After all my tests came back normal when I went to the ER, the doctor said it was okay for me to get on a plane the next day and fly to 4 day conference. As of now, absolutely no guidance or advice from doctors.

@maggie8585 everything I do to keep my rate of afib down is from forums or from "The Afib Cure" or common sense. I have an excellent EP who prescribes pills to take as needed ("pill in a pocket" diltiazem and Eliquis) and have told him my triggers but clearly, from the conversation, avoiding triggers is up to me. I also take magnesium, potassium (low sodium V-8) , eat early and don't recline after eating, take Gas-X if I have gas in upper GI, don't lift too much weight at once, walk and do tai chi, and try, not always successfully, to keep stress down.
