I've lived with this afib stuff for over ten years now and have tried hard to not let it get the better of me but now I feel like I have to be a bit more proactive in how I manage it. The copd simply compounds the afib. Then toss in further breathing aggravations from allegories and I know I'm doing the right thing. Plus I feel fortunate to have found a super cardiologist at my primary health provider. Everything just seemed to be right at the right time. So many new medicines are available today to reign in afib episodes and we've already discussed one that she feels will do me well along side all the other pills I take. Bouncing back after an episode is getting harder and harder so I have to do something. And I guess I feel like if I am going to tackle this afib beast I may as well go whole hog and get right after the other demons....those being the skin cancer and the suspect allergies. I know I cannot beat this stuff, but I am going to get a rope around it and control it....or at least that's my hope and intention.
