I had an ablation 2 years ago for Afib. The evening of the procedure, I was told by a surprised physician, who was not the electophysiologist who had performed the procedure, that I have CHF. That was the first time any doctor had told me this. Since that time, I have had to take lasix to control fluid buildup that affects my breathing. I also get short of breath sometimes with mild exertion. I have been healthy all my life and find this therapy very limiting. I am wondering if there is any way to deal with CHF other than taking lasix everyday. My electrophysiologist told me it was my choice whether to take it! This surprised me without it I can't breathe comfortably. My question is - Is there another way to deal with this fluid build up? (It seems that the Afib issue has been helped with the procedure.)
