NameShaun
LocationWest Midlands,UK
Age41
Diagnosed conditionLone AF
Years with condition3
Frequency of episodes2 episodes lasting 6 - 8 hours
Duration of episodes6 - 8 hours
Event preceding first AFCyclo-cross race ?
General healthGood, Fit
Current stateIn Limbo ?
TriggersToo early to say what are the known triggers. Suspect a combination of things - excersize, wine, stress....?
PreventionsNo idea
Current medications/side effectsAsprirn (75mg/day)
Flecainide (50mg twice/day)
I am sure that one or both of these has reduced my performance capacity for cycling - aching muscles, reduced top-end heart rate - using Polar HR monitor to analyse.
Past medications/side effectsNone.
History of surgeryNone.
Future plansGet off the drugs for AF... or take something else... or pack in competitive cycling if performance does not come back to "normal". Anyone got a clue ?
Personal commentsI also have Ulcerative Colitis - and take Asacol to control. This has no performance side effects.
However, I wonder if Aspirin is reducing muscle efficiency, and Flecainaide is holding me back at the extremes of performance requirements.
