@faith123 Thanks for sharing your very interesting life story! You also seem to be involved in some interesting activities, good for you.

I am glad to hear that your limp seems better with PT. However, I feel a bit concerned when you said, "but my pulse rate goes wild every time I walk. Afib acting up I suppose." I'm wondering if there may be some adjustment that your doctor can make to your meds to help control this. Have you called your cardiologist's office about the pulse rate increase when you walk?

I only see my pcp. They have never sent me to cardio dr. I think i dropped my blood thinner yesterday morning and didn't take it for i found one on the floor. Do you think that could cause it?

@faith123 I'm not a medical professional, so I couldn't answer that question. I would, however, strongly suggest that you talk with your doctor about the symptoms you are experiencing when you walk. In order to check this out, Is it possible to ask your PCP for a referral to a cardiologist? Teresa

I go back to him aug. I will ask him then. My pcp retired and i now see a pa in the place i have been going for 25 years. I think i need to change but i dont know if i should. I'm 81
