Hi. I've just been diagnosed with AF last week and am on warfarin (44 years old). Have to have more tests in a few weeks. I assume when my INF is stable. The heart specialist was a bit vague in regards to what physical activities i can do a nurse told me I shouldn't anything that increases my heart rate due to the risk of a blood clot coming loose is this a real risk? I have cold feet, weakness in my legs blurred vision right eye only, breathless more than usual, tiredness. Also have been diagnosed with sleep apnoea a few years ago and am on CPAP. Also have mild asthma.

Thanks for your help.
The nurse is full of bull. I have A fib and do 5-7 hours of Cardio a week at 70-80% of my max heart rate, and my Cardiologist thinks that is great!
For much info on A-Fib, go to www.afibbers.com and visit the bulletin board.

Sounds like your heart rate may not be controlled.

I am 71 years old, had heart attack 13 years ago. Now I have AF. Same symptoms like Ian. I used to biycle, badminton, soccer, golf. After 10 situps at my cardiologist office my heart rate went up 200. echocardio and holter monitor done. Now I am waiting for Electrocardioversion, this week. I really miss excercise.Scared. Depression creeps on me. I am on Wafarin 4mg, Cardizem 300mg, Zoccor 10 mg, Lanoxin 0.25 mg/day. "Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Since it sounds like you are still in the process of having a complete diagnosis and settling in on an effective treatment regime, I'd suggest following your medical professionals' advice. They're the ones who are familiar with the details of your particular case.
On you have been stabilized on a course of treatment (it can take a few weeks to arrive at the proper coumidin dosage) you should have few limitations on physical activity.
