Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I'm an actor and I have afib. I was wondering if there are any more performers on here with afib. I'd love to commiserate. I haven't gone into afib on stage yet. But last weekend I was supposed to go to a show and was in afib. Zan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I'm not a performer but I did coach football. Had Afib attack in middle of the game just after half time. Finished the game but felt terrible. In the 7 years I had Afib and coached football this was the only time it happened in a game. It also happened once after a championship game . zansheva wrote: I'm an actor and I have afib. I was wondering if there are any more performers on here with afib. I'd love to commiserate.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I am an amateur musician on a wind instrument and I have afib. The biggest difficulty I have is the inability to breathe deep when I am playing and go into afib. Of course, I never know when I am going to go into afib so this really catches me by surprise and has made for some interesting moments. Does playing bring it on? Is it harmful to play? Nobody has said stop but I did screw up an orchestra audition because of it. Most cardiologists are not musicians and they don't have a clue what is involved in playing a wind instrument. I'm glad I'm not a full-time professional musician, at least not until I get 'the cure'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
