Atrial Fibrillation

Posted , 5 users are following.

hi

i've had AF for 4 years now but a recent X-ray showed lung congestion which they think is being caused by the heart.  I also get excesdive facial sweating - does anyone else suffer these symptoms.  Also I am breathless going uphills and stairs which is a new development although I can walk miles on the flat.  When is AF just AF & not a heart attack?

    Hope  will learn much more in the weeks to come about A-Fib. I recently had a Loop Recorder put in to record more what is going on with my heart. I'm also going to see a new Cardialogist that is suppose to know more about Atrial Fibrillation. I do know people that started off with a diagnosis of A-Fib and it turned into problems later with thier heart pump.
