Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 : You will find this board to be very helpful. Here are a some websites that will give you and your husband a good overview on A-fib : www.a-fib.com www.affacts.org www.clevelandclinic.org You will be advised by everyone on this board to educate yourself about your husbands condition. Although there is a certain protocol most card. follow with the initial AF diagnosis, the actual treatment afterwards can vary from card. to card. That's why it is so important you be informed about AF. Good Luck to you ! Thor My husband Hi everyone, I have been reading up on this group, and seems to be so full of information...my 36 year old husband was just diagnosed with A-fib. He was having what he thought was heart palipitations due to a lot of stress he was feeling. For the past two years, he has been battling generalized anxiety and mild depression. These A-fib episodes just started about 1-2 months ago. He was having them daily...mostly noticing them at night. 2 1/2 weeks ago he started on Celexa, and at the same time, was given an appt for a holter monitor. With those results, was sent to a cardiologist, who told him he has a-fib, set up a stress test and an echocardiogram for next week. He has been put on Toperol and aspirin. On MY urging, he has stopped caffeine, and does not drink anyways, and it seems to have decreased the # of episodes he is noticing. I am not sure what questions I have...I guess one is can stress cause these? I have read mixed information....I am very overwhelmed with all of this. We live about 1 hour from Boston, and would really like him to see one of the docs up there for a second opinion on how this should be treated. Thanks so much for listening!
