| Diagnosed condition | A-Fib |
|---|
| Years with condition | 1 year |
|---|
| Frequency of episodes | almost continuous |
|---|
| Duration of episodes | -- |
|---|
| Event preceding first AF | -- |
|---|
| General health | high blood pressure for 30 yrs - no smoking, drinking, etc. |
|---|
| Current state | had an ablation and a pacemaker and defibrillator |
|---|
| Triggers | don't know what started this. All it could be was too much caffeine. But the doc says no. |
|---|
| Preventions | During the ablation the doc set my pulse at 80 and it hasn't moved from that at all. He said he didn't want to go any lower because sometimes my pulse was as high as 130 and that would be too much of a change. |
|---|
| Current medications/side effects | the side effect I have the most is fatigue and I don't know which med. to blame.
Amiodorone
Warfarin
Coreg
Altace
Synthroid
Furosemide
Norvasc
Zetia |
|---|
| Past medications/side effects | Previous medications were a variety of blood pressure pills. Also the Zetia for Cholesterol and the Synthroid for thyroid.
The rest are all medications they gave me for the A Fib and I hope to get rid of some of them soon! |
|---|
| History of surgery | Two knee replacements and the ablation (which they don't call a surgery, they call a procedure) |
|---|
| Future plans | Get rid of some of these pills and hopefully the pacemaker and defibillator do their job. |

| Personal comments | Thanks for the database, it is interesting to see how other people are doing with the same problem. |
