@sid1 that’s wonderful! I’m glad you were able to get the procedure done and are feeling well.
For me, I’ve haven’t had an episode of A-fib for almost 2 years. I recently got permission from my cardiologist to replace the Eliquis with 1 full strength aspirin a day. Of course, if my heart acts up again, I will have to restart the Eliquis.
I wear an Apple Watch. It has the ability to record EKGs. It also warns me if my rate is too slow. It’s a great “tool”.
Best of luck. Praying for your continued success.

DURING MY OPEN HEART TO REMOVE A BEINGN TUMOR. I ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT MY AFIB. A DOCTOR VOLUNTEERED TO PERFORM A MAZE PROCEDURE. SINCE THEN I HAVE LITTLE TO NO AFIB. MY STAMINA WAS IMMEDIATELY BETTER; THE TUMOUR HAD BEEN INTERFERING WITH THE NORMAL BLOOD FLOW.
I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT A MAZE CAN BE PERFORMED FROM OUTSIDE THE CHEST CAVITY. COMING UP ON 84

Oh you are doing fine if you are not having to restrict your activities and best of luck. I didn’t restrict myself after the first one. I only started restricting when the next two happened due to intense physical activity. I hope and pray you don’t have another episode at all. Thank you for your wishes.
