Cardiologist: Your treating cardiologist should be aware of your symptoms so that your meds can be adjusted. Your shortness of breath is likely related to your heart beating too fast and further meds adjustments and tests will be needed.

AFib & heart failure: Your symptoms are due to heart failure, excessive fluid retention, and probably from poorly controlled heart rate. Salt restriction, good control of heart rate with medication, weight reduction if applicable, are measures likely to help you. Please get evaluated by your cardiologist and have a dietician help you with diet control . Attention to detail very important. Your family’s help important.
