I suffer from atrial fibrillation and am under a cardiologist care taking medication. recently i have lost 20lbs. what other actions can i take to reduce the occurrence of an afib episode? are there any health life style changes i can pursue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atrial fibrillation: I still advocate minimizing intake of caffeine,alcohol and prohibition of smoking and maintenance of normal blood pressure to reduce recurrence of a fib. A cardiologist is best qualified to evaluate and follow you, order appropriate tests and,if advisable, certain medications to prevent or treat a fib episodes.
