The big problem with a-fib is the probability of a blood clot formimg. You normally go on a blood thinner.
Right. Mine is not actually Afib, or at least the doctor didn’t say it was. The doctor said it’s “an Afib like disorder caused by stress”. I take an aspirin a day instead of the normal blood thinners just to be on the safe side because if I get really tired I can feel a slight bit but nothing like it was. I also get checked annually to check for any artery blockages that might be dislodged but they have never found any and since I retired the problem seems to have pretty much stopped. It got so bad while I was working that they put me on short-term disability for a while and a month before I retired they put me on a temporary 40-hour a week restriction. I decided the best thing I could do was retire. So far I don’t have anymore problems with it.
