A-Fib - woo hoo!
I noticed this spring when I started riding more frequently after the winter slow-down that I wasn't getting my energy back like I had done pretty quickly in the past. I'm 67 but in pretty good health (except for a little overweight; never smoked or drank alcohol, etc.). On my 66th b'day, I rode 38 miles; on my 67th I did 39. Most rides are in the 10-20 mile range, almost daily in the past years.
I have an annual physical each April, free with our BC/BS coverage, so it'd be silly not to do it. Anyway, for the first time, this year's EKG showed that I have atrial fibrillation. My cardiologist put me on Eliquis and atenolol but it hasn't gotten any better, so he sent me to an a-fib specialist and he's recommended an electric shock procedure to attempt to get my heart back in the proper rhythm. It may happen as soon as the end of this week. I'll be getting a call from the scheduling nurse early this week.
Has anyone else had such a treatment? How did it go?
