| Personal comments | For many years (from age 14) doctors told me I was experiencing panic attacks. By the time I would get to the doctor's office, the a-fib was gone. When I began to stay in Afib, it was finally diagnosed by wearing a halter monitor. People may be receiving an improper diagnos, just as I did. I am now taking Rhythmol. |
