#ExerciseForHealth #AF #HeartCondition
I’ve had persistent Afib for over 40 years. My resting heart rate is 35 bpm. Afib need not interfere with an active lifestyle, although it takes a lot of mental discipline not to worry. I do yoga every morning and walk daily, bike, martial arts, some resistance training. Just had an echocardiogram, doc says everything still looks ok, no red flags.
Great to hear
Very good tips and graphics. Thank you.
You're welcome
I was diagnosed with AFIB purely by chance, in February 2023 at age 67 , I have had one episode since that I’m aware of , I still do regular hillwalking & strength training at the gym, AFIB has changed nothing that I do , I was initially prescribed beta blockers & blood thinners, I stopped the beta blockers as they slow your metabolism and cause weight gain, my GP had no problem with that, however I do continue with Edoxaban as an anti-coagulant as a precaution
Great to hear how you're managing it
So ive been an avid runner in the past, was doing about 18 to 45 miles a week for years, i got injured and stopped but have been feeling a weird "flutter" sensation in my heart every now and then. It corrects itself and stops after a couple seconds and ive had no other symptoms. No short breath, no dizzyness or swelling etc etc. I just bought a device to watch my heart beats. Freaks me out. Idk. I hate worrying about it happening now.
Speak to your doctor if you're concerned.
I have Paroxysmal AFib and going out for a slow bicycle ride will usually put me back in sine rhythm after roughly 30 minutes of biking 50% of the time. Thank you for confirming what I thought was ok to do.
Great to hear.
I'm 72 years old male and I think that I have paroxysmal afib, but I don't have any symptoms! My pulse is always in normal range. Only my blood pressure monitor shows irregular heartbeat! For to prevent eventually clots I take nattokinase, lumbrokinase and serrapeptase! But in truth I take more supplements! I'm doing brisk walking with sprinting, weights and push up. Three times the week I'm on intercourse. I'm practising intermittent fasting, I'm feeling very good and hope that GOD permits some years on earth......
Keep up with it, that's great.
Thanks
Welcome
Hi I was a serious cyclist till I was diagnosed with AFib ,my cardiologist told me I was OK to carry on cycling ,although I am wary of going back on the and have not rode since my diagnosis ,I'm thinking of buying an electric bike ,as I really miss my cycling
I hope your confidence for cycling comes back
I can't find any info on bodybuilding and afib. I've gone into constant Afib and started taking a blood thiner however also on TRT along witha couple of other meds. I feel graet and working out hard is no problem. But should I do so? My cardiologist says go for it but not sure that he understands what hard lifting really is.
Your cardiologist will know you and your condition best, so it's best to take their advice.
Have been diagnosed with this problem, and have one dose of shock treatment to get the rhythm correct again. Apparently, it has bounced back and I require another dose. I find cycling one of the best excercises for my problem. But then , I'm not a doctor. Anyone else becoming wary of the medical profession?
Cycling is a great form of exercise.
Can be trained sway by 100 reps in legpres in gym at very intense.
No, definitely not!
Hi! I had a high Of 129 BPM during a sleep study , is this considered afib and do you think i could still exercise
No AF would generally cause erratic heart beats rather than a fast heart rate. Stress may increase your heart rate, but it's worth getting a doctor to check you if your heart rate is this high at rest to eliminate other causes.
@@ExerciseForHealth will do and thank you!
Suddenly I got shortness of breath and I feel like my heart is pounding slowly and dizziness while playing football ...what It can be
But my 15sec ecg is normal
And i have anxiety too
My blood tests are normal
But it doesn't have frequently
It comes sometimes and goes
Best to speak with your doctor
I think I probably have it, I get palpitations that are alarming , sometimes flutter or a tickly feeling, sometimes I get a massive thud when I'm just chilling followed but a increase in heartrate for about a 20secs. I also get a fluttery heart or thud when I eat or drink cold stuff or breath in cold this or when I bend forward, I cannot eat sugar becuase it causes a massive rush or blood to the head and palps/ and dizzyness. Is this atrial fibrillation? its giving me really bad health anxiety for the past 2 years
The only way to get a diagnosis is by getting tested. See your doctor for advice.
I have 2 or 3 bouts of Afib per year. I can't imagine exercising when this is happening.
Good to be cautious.
I have paroxysmal AFib too. I can barely walk when I’m AFib. But those with persistent AFIb especially rate controlled don’t have this issue generally
Go for a brisk walk, it made me feel better also l rebound on my trampoline for about 10 minutes twice a day ,you just need to do what you can manage
I have diagnosed with afib. but i don’t feel anything. can I still play basketball with Afib?
Check with your doctor
