suzanne2019 I was floored when he told me that a good many of his patients with afib are long distance runners, marathoners, bodybuilders and athletes. I'm definitely going to seek a second opinion. Right now I feel bewildered, lost and can't seem to stop crying. I've gone from exercising 5 times a week, including weight lifting to being told not to do anything more strenuous than moderate walking. I've never in my life needed any type of medication. Now I take four. I'm so grateful to have found this site. Thank you so much for reaching out to me. Please stay in touch. It really does help to talk to others who understand.

Anytime you can reach out. I take a long walk every day and am going to start going g back to the gym next week. Going to a new doctor tomorrow who is also holistic so am hoping she gets me. I won't take any drugs so taking Hawthorne berry everyday 500mg probiotic 1000cfu in the morning and drink a cup of Hibiscus(organic dried flowers).every afternoon
Which keeps my BP in check
.make some fresh juice with raw beets,.organic carrits.and a few radishes every couple days. Yoga and meditation. A lot more work then taking a pill but worth it!!!

Don't be discouraged. My son-in-law takes exercises very seriously.. he rows and uses the Pelaton. He had afib for years and had a couple of ablations. Finally, he found a cardiologist in Texas who found that there was a genetic issue that other cardiologists in CA (where we live) did not see. He had an operation and he does not have afib anymore. Actually this Texas cardiologist told him he can go back to his exercise routine the week after the operation. He is no longer on any meds. I had a TSI and now my cardiologist is testing me for afib. I had a loop implant. I'm glad I found this forum. My daughter knows alot about afib because of her husband's experience and she's a comfort. I'm blessed. I have a family history of strokes so I eat very clean, do not smoke or drink and I am not overweight. I can only walk everyday because of my back problems resulting from a horrific car accident when a car ran a light and hit my car. I hope you can be positive and know that you will get better! A second opinion is a good thing.
