Replies to "Does anyone experience shortness ofbreath. Since being diagnosed with afi b and taking metropoolol and diliazem..."
@1943 Hi this is Mary...mrk4445. Yes I experienced shortness of breath, and terrible fatigue. Had to push myself just to do my every day tasks and had to rest in between doing every day tasks like dishes and cleaning. For me not normal. Sit down to rest and fall asleep. Sleep 9 hours and wake up feeling exhausted like I was run over by a truck. It became my new normal way of feeling and it was robbing me of my life. I couldn't participate in my normal activities no longer. I would blow it off as aging or being out of shape. It wasn't. It was paroxsymal afib. I had an ablation procedure 5 months ago. Since my ablation I have gotten my life back. My energy level is back to normal. I have returned to everyday life symptom free. I have 6 month follow up soon. I am still on Fleconide for heart rythm and eliquis. At this point I do not know what my long term outlook is but I am grateful for relief of symptoms now. I would have an ablation again in a heart beat.💓 Maybe you would be a good candidate for an ablation or other procedure too. Maybe a consultation with your cardiologist could help explore the possibility and find find out if you are a good candidate...I hope you will find help and relief from your as I have.
