I have been diagnosised with AF and my GP has given me beater blockers which are course stopping the fibillations,however the AF occurred whilst I was having an operation and the hospital did suggest that I should go on warfarin.
I thought that being only in my late 60s may be to early,but many of my friends are saying the younger you are the better.I have always had a weight problem but have lost nearly 2 stone and hope to continue to loose further weight in the coming year.
Like so many people I would hate to suffer a stroke,would warfarin be best.

I had AF after aortic valve replacement that was fixed by cardioversion. 18 months later I had a colonoscopy and went back into AF after the probe stimulated my vagus nerve.

Well done on the weight loss - I was under 60 when diagnosed with AF and since my BP was OK and other than the AF I had no other health issues it was decided I do not yet have to be on warfarin although I have been told it is likely in the future - glad your symptoms are under control.
