Years of physical exercise predisposed you to heart problems??? Wow! I'm not a doctor and I don't even play one on TV, but I find that incomprehensible. Exercise IMHO probably predisposed you to living well until age 66 and even beyond. Who knows why these heart problems occur? My doctor has never told me why. I don't expect him to know why. Maybe it's genetic. Maybe it's not. It doesn't sound good to me to blame your dancing and exercise for this problem. I had a heart attack a year and a half ago and my doctor wanted me in a cardiac exercise program as soon as I was able, which was only a few weeks. I have A-fib. Have had it for years. I think the reason I'm in good shape now is because I exercise regularly at a gym. Yes, do get a second opinion.

You having had afib for years can hopefully tell me how to get over the feeling of panic and fear. My doctor told me that having afib is common and not in itself lethal. Perhaps you can give me some insight on how to go about my life without the feeling of depression, fear and anger. I still exercise, and do things that I enjoy doing, but I just can't seem to feel happy anymore. Any advice? Please.
extreme exercise can definitely cause afib, speaking from my own experience and doing research on this topic.

I'm with you. That is a ridiculous response
I have always been very active, fit never sick a day in my life, scheduled a spine I ejection for my sciatica, got really nervous and went into afib!!! I have had afib since then on and off.dont take any drugs for it
Second opinion is a great idea
