Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hi, First of all I have a question. I am not in AFIB all the time. There are times that I have a lot of skipped beats or fast beats. I get very tired. Is this lone AFIB? Second, I noticed that the summer temperatures effect me. If I go out in the humidity, I start getting the skipped beats and a little lightheaded and very tired. I had a persantine thallium test and the doctor said that the blood flow around my heart is normal. AFIB is a very scary (even though not deadly, thank god) sickness. I hate itas I am sure all of you do. Michele NYC 52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan my errands for early in the morning or in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
