Managing A-Fib while waiting for an appointment with cardiologist

They said I am at almost zero risk from a blood clot because I am in very good shape and my labs are good.

I called my GP and she ordered a 30 day event monitor. I also am getting a Fit bit versa elite that I can wear in the water when I swim. She also gave me parameters of when to go to the ER so now I’m feeling better about it all.

Thank you for your reply!

Hi, @blanche123. A quick reaction to your recent message. I'm in very good shape, my labs are good, and I have asymptomatic A-fib. I only know of my A-fib from regular medical exams including EKG readings. However, I had a stroke two years ago -- "minor" they said -- but it has taken away a bit of my brain power governing senses, urinary system, and physical stability. The stroke happened despite my being on the anticoagulant Coumadin. Do all you can to get Cardiology to check you out as soon as possible. Martin

I think if you trust your doctor and with the new info that you are going to be alright waiting however, if it were me, I would do what another poster suggested (Not a doctor nor am I offering advice) I myself would take low dose aspirin and a multi vit.
Best of luck
