Summerrobin. I’m 73 year old female the went into atrial fibrillation 2 years ago. After several tests I have been diagnosed with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The afib has not been stabilized and I’m not a candidate for an ablation. I am now in afib continually with a set of new drugs. I'm always optimistic when a I start new med. I'm hear to read of other like minded and health minded people. 😊

WELCOME! Welcome to Mayo Connect @summerrobin. I'm so glad you found us. You definitely came to the right place to find out from other like-minded folks with your same condition. I'm so sorry to hear that your atrial fibrillation is not controlled. That has to be stressful. I hope this gets the attention it needs from your cardiologist. It's not good to stay in atrial fibrillation continuously. Has your cardiologist kept an eye on you with regular follow-up? Besides having atrial fibrillation and now HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) is your health pretty good? Are you able to get out and walk and exercise?
