Personal comments	I was under a lot of stress at work when i first new i had a fib. i got a medical retirement from my job. now that i'm not under a lot of stress and having two ablations and taking the right medicanes my symptoms are minor and the only downfall is having to take the heart medicanes and blood thinner. when i first came down with a fib my symtomes were severe and it was very hard to work and i was always having to leave my job and go to the emergency room for care.
