I am 70 and recently diagnosed with A fib. My mother had it in her early 60s and lived till 82. It was not the cause of her passing.

Hello @donell,
Facing a new diagnosis almost always involves a new learning curve and can leave your head "spinning" a bit.
@gdcm, @northof60 and @suerte all talked about their experiences with being new to an AFib diagnosis and may be able to share how they processed that information and proceeded forward.
@donell, When you learned of your diagnosis, were you able to talk through what that meant moving forward with your provider? Whether it is lifestyle changes or new medications, how are you processing this new diagnosis?
