Thanks for the hugs, really appreciated. I am in a reasonable place at the moment, getting wonderful care from Harefield Hospital (what an interesting history that has), and on the waiting list for the next step towards controlling the AF, a progression of my HCM . Sue
My mother had atrial fibrillation as well as being treated for blood pressure and an underactive thyroid.She died when one month short of her 97 birthday,
I have Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation which means I have some small fluuters then one which will go a 2 or 3 days roughly every 8-10 days sometimes a bit longer difficult to make arrangements hubby has had afib for about 20 years and his pills keep him ok he doesnt notice the bouncing heart! still I have 3 children 5 grandchildren so guess I am lucky really and although lots of heart problems in ancestor's most lived a fair age.
