Lady,
Thanks. I just now read your last post. I need to figure out how to get an email when there is a new post. Haven’t figured that out yet.

Anyway, your story is helpful. I feel somewhat alone in this whole a-fib world. From what I’ve read, only a small percentage of Graves patients have A-fib. I hear you about not worrying. It was hard to do in the beginning. I thought about trying meditation. I’ve never been one for that kind of thing but I’ve heard it works well.

How was your a-fib fixed? Do you have it now? Does it come and go? I’m currently on coumadin as they are preparing me for electrical cardioversion. Have you ever had that? I’ve done so much reading about this online…sometimes it helps but sometimes I wonder if it makes me worry more. Not every is the same I know. Between the tapizole, beta blockers and now coumadin…I feel like I’m on way too many meds but I know it is only temporary.

Thank you both. It is reassuring to hear that this problem may take longer to go away than I expected. I guess I am being impatient and wanted things to get better quick. Life has a way of reminding us that sometimes we have to play the hand we are dealt…whether we like it or not. Thanks again. ” title=”Wink” />

Ski, Thanks! That makes sense to me. My numbers are going down well so hopefully it will go away soone. I think my doctors are good but they are not always very forthcoming on everything. So it is really nice to talk to people who have actually experienced what you are going through. You don’t feel so alone. ” title=”Sad” /> Do you know how long you were a-fib? Also, do you know if it can come back?
