A member asked:
Chikungunya is rife in barbados . i have atrial fibrillation, should i go there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you Must.: It s a Viral infection like Flu. Affects Muscles and Joints. Symptoms are worse and recovery is very slow ( I mean MONTHS) with advance age. It has nothing to do with Atrial Fibrillation or Medicine you take for it. Be careful. Treatment is symptomatic and Physical therapy if you get prolonged Joint pain.
