Widowmaker and other Heart Problems Club

A-fib here, I see my cardiologist 2-3 times per year. So far, no signs of any other trouble with all his testing...but every time I have an episode of my heart feeling like a flopping fish in my chest, it’s an unnervingly stressful time. I’m on Xarelto blood thinner to reduce stroke risk from those events, but still...you never know when the next time might be the last.

I’m only 57 years old, but my dad had the same issue and lived to be 84 without it becoming more serious. Fingers crossed it will be the same for me.
