I wouldn't presume to tell you what you should do, but I went to the gym almost every day that I was in A-fib after I was diagnosed. It seemed to make me feel better but my pulse was rarely over 110, so working out just made it feel "right" somehow. I found the elliptical machine too exhausting on some days but the treadmill was always tolerable. I think everyone is different in this A-fib condition. My advise, consult your cardiologist; mine never told me I couldn't exercise. Good luck!

Thank you for listening. . I haven’t seen my cardiologist, only have a holter monitor on for three days. The cardiologist gave me this when I complained of severe shortness of breath that I get normal in a few minutes when I sit down. The office sends it away and they let me know what the results are. I have stationary biked and lifted medium weight for years. This 76 yr old girl needs to keep moving. I have an appointment in a month with cardiology ( a PA). Thanks for reading.
