I have to agree that stress is a major factor in AF. I had constant stress all my life, 2 bad marriages, stressfull job and a stressfull family/ life. I was just diagnosed 3 days ago after doctors claimed i had a blockage. I underwent a catherization and no blockage was the result, but what i least expected Af was diagnosed. I would venture to say i had this for at least 10 years or more and nobody knew. I had passed out a couple of times in the last few years and asked my doctor why i felt like i was shaking at different times, but nobody had an answer until now. I was extremely upset about the catherization procedure and a few days before surgury i felt my heart pounding excessively. It pounded right up to the day i went into the operating room and then was classified as AF. I was put on meds and blood thinners. I do not know what to expect in the future with this heart problem. I feel like my life has turned upside down and I must be constantly monitored, which i am not happy about.
Hello everyone, I just found this site. I am sorry that anyone has to deal with this. I started having AFIB episodes when I was 45. I ended up in the hopspital with a heart rate of over 200. I was released after many tests and told that there is no damage to my heart and put on metoporal, aspirin (I refused coumadin), prevastatin (for cholesterol) and fish oil. I got to where I was having an episode about every four months.I have had 7 episodes now in 12 days. So about every other day. It just wipes me out. I work a very high stress job and I have school age kids and am finding it hard to live my life. I am going to call my cardiologist to find out what my options are for a permanent solution because I am so over this!
