| Age | 41 |

| Diagnosed condition | Lone AF |
|---|
| Years with condition | 3 |
|---|
| Frequency of episodes | 2 episodes lasting 6 - 8 hours |
|---|
| Duration of episodes | 6 - 8 hours |
|---|
| Event preceding first AF | Cyclo-cross race ? |
|---|
| General health | Good, Fit |
|---|
| Current state | In Limbo ? |
|---|
| Triggers | Too early to say what are the known triggers. Suspect a combination of things - excersize, wine, stress....? |
|---|
| Preventions | No idea |
|---|
| Current medications/side effects | Asprirn (75mg/day)
Flecainide (50mg twice/day)
I am sure that one or both of these has reduced my performance capacity for cycling - aching muscles, reduced top-end heart rate - using Polar HR monitor to analyse. |
|---|
| Past medications/side effects | None. |
|---|
| History of surgery | None. |
|---|
| Future plans | Get off the drugs for AF... or take something else... or pack in competitive cycling if performance does not come back to "normal". Anyone got a clue ? |
|---|
| Personal comments | I also have Ulcerative Colitis - and take Asacol to control. This has no performance side effects.
However, I wonder if Aspirin is reducing muscle efficiency, and Flecainaide is holding me back at the extremes of performance requirements. |
