Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group
Welcome to the Heart Rhythm Conditions group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
Did you know that the average heart beats 100,000 times a day? Millions of people live with heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) which occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats don't work properly. Let's connect with each other; we can share stories and learn about coping with the challenges, and living well with abnormal heart rhythms. I invite you to follow the group. Simply click the +FOLLOW icon on the group landing page.
I'm Kanaaz (@kanaazpereira), and I'm the moderator of this group. When you post to this group, chances are you'll also be greeted by volunteer patient Mentors and fellow members. Learn more about Moderators and Mentors on Connect.
Let's chat. Why not start by introducing yourself?

I take Eqquis Blood Thinner twice a day and control my high blood pressure with Losartan and Lasix diuretic (exact mg I forget) And other than AFIB being a possible cause of daytime tiredness and lack of energy, No problems experienced due to my AFIB. I am 85 years old in pretty good health, with day time tiredness being my main complaint.

How are you managing the Afib, @gamesjr?

1 ReactionTerrific results!
I had one two months ago and am doing extremely well. I experienced a few short lived reoccurrences but they appear to here stopped. My Dr told me that it takes three months for the heart to totally heal from the procedure. I am very happy with the results!
