Hi, I’m David. I have 2 stents already and one day started having AFib when I walked. I was given pills and bought a monitor, checking 5 times per day. Apart from an episode a few weeks later, I have no signs of AFib showing up on my monitor. I do note that I get chest pain when my heart rate is up from walking up hills. However once I rest and then go in, it’s fine until another hill. I wonder if this is AFib or a small blockage.

Hi David, I'm Nancy (shortshot80) I did not know I was out of rhythm, nor I did not know I ever had AFIB as I have a pacemaker and have had for over 10 years, I'm on my 2nd pacemaker and have had it for over l year. I also have two kinds of lung cancer. I have mesothelioma on my left side and plain small cell cancer on my right side. I have had chemo, immune therapy, and finally radieation on my right side. Nothing can be done on the Meso side, (so far I don't have any pain) Radiation twce on my right side and that is because I was coughing up blood. That is all I can have. I found out that I had this in 2016. I had surgery and the doc put a 4 foot plastic tube in my lung and let it drain for for days, then told me I had "meso" . Nothing can be done for this. Next month I will be 87 years old. Yea!

David. I only had Afib. I did not realize how much I needed a demand pace maker at 60 demand from St Jude until the cardiologist Implanted it. Could this be a direction for you? So simple and effective.
