Afib and neuropathy

I am wondering if the Afib leads to neuropathy; my feet are just not getting good circulation. When I get up in the am, the neuropathy is much less then at night when I have been up and about most of the day. I of course, have been laying down all night so the blood can get back to my feet. Cardiologist says the problem lies in the veins (aged) which apparently do not function as well and the blood is prevented from leaving the feet thus preventing new blood from getting to the feet. Does make sense. Could Afib be related to the veins not functioning as well and thus putting more pressure on the heart to force blood through the veins? Wonder if Afib is more active in the am vs. the pm. Don't know.

Not sure if this is helpful or if you have discussed what you can do to help improve the circulation with your doctor.
