i'd like to hear your story.

I am kinda in limbo ATM had 3 afib attacks, with Tachycardia requiring ER visits. I am afraid to exert myself in any way now.
Doc put me on flecainide and metropolol.
I do want an ablation because I don't want to be on meds, and I want to fix the problem.

Thanks
My cardiologist had me continue exercising while on anticoagulant.
So I kept cycling with a Polar H10 heart rate monitor to keep my max heart rate in check.
I was extremely careful to prevent crashing. Of course I took a fall but thankfully did not have a serious bleeding problem.
Took it easier when I was in Afib but still rode.
After ablation about 5 years ago everything has been fine.

Best advice is ask your cardiologist.
