barhelpup

NameBarb Johnson
LocationOrland Park, IL
Age71
Diagnosed conditionA-Fib
Years with condition1 year
Frequency of episodesalmost continuous
Duration of episodes--
Event preceding first AF--
General healthhigh blood pressure for 30 yrs - no smoking, drinking, etc.
Current statehad an ablation and a pacemaker and defibrillator
Triggersdon't know what started this. All it could be was too much caffeine. But the doc says no.
PreventionsDuring the ablation the doc set my pulse at 80 and it hasn't moved from that at all. He said he didn't want to go any lower because sometimes my pulse was as high as 130 and that would be too much of a change.
Current medications/side effectsthe side effect I have the most is fatigue and I don't know which med. to blame.
Amiodorone
Warfarin
Coreg
Altace
Synthroid
Furosemide
Norvasc
Zetia
Past medications/side effectsPrevious medications were a variety of blood pressure pills. Also the Zetia for Cholesterol and the Synthroid for thyroid.

The rest are all medications they gave me for the A Fib and I hope to get rid of some of them soon!
History of surgeryTwo knee replacements and the ablation (which they don't call a surgery, they call a procedure)
Future plansGet rid of some of these pills and hopefully the pacemaker and defibillator do their job.
Personal commentsThanks for the database, it is interesting to see how other people are doing with the same problem.
