Be careful foxy and get a correct diagnosis.

I agree with Queenie! Get a correct diagnosis from your doctor, Foxy.

Re: Low BPM

You need to get one of those dratted holter monitor thingies. If it's AF and fairly recent then they do that electric shock therapy to try to jump start the heart back to normal rhythm. So get a quick referral to check what's up.

Re: Low BPM

Hope you get the AF problem 'sorted' OGF, meanwhile don't go overdoing things!

There are various treatments, depending on the exact cause. A close family member has this problem but the opposite with a high heart rate, medication helps with it.

Re: Low BPM

Hi Bob a low heart rate is usually Bradycardia and not necessarily AF which is usually characterised by a 'regularly irregular heart beat' and a fast heart rate.
If you think you have AF the person to see is an Electrophysiologist not a Cardiologist, they are heart plumbers you need a heart electrician.
Athletes can be susceptible to AF.
There is no 'cure' for AF, treatment may control it and improve the quality of life.
Anne mentions cardioversion, a temporary measure to 'reset the clock' .There is also 'chemical cardioversion' using anti anthemic drugs.

I have an active uncontrolled very symptomatic form of AF , I take medication to help prevent a stroke as I have a high score on the CHADVAS scale, I refused to have the procedure called ablation to improve my quality of life for reasons I won't go into here .
There are new treatments being trailed that may be available in a few years.
