Me too, I’ve been running 50 years and was diagnosed over a year ago and put on a DOAC. I have now stopped this as I was having bleeds and am now taking a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and herbal remedies which I can recommend and thanks my FF monitor am maintain an average of over 99% Sinus rythymn.

Same story here – years of high intensity endurance exercise then diagnosed with AFib .. which because I was very fit and not overweight etc. (low CHADS score) they decided I did not need anticoagulants – 6 months later I had a stroke !!

I was very liucky and was in a stroke specialist centre within 15 mins and have no after affects. The doctors reccomended I reduce significantlymy exercise levels (which I have done – walking and yoga is now all I do) – I am also now taking DOACs. But the redction in levels of exrcise have lead to me putting to me putting on weight … so am now trying to work out how to lose weight without upping my exercise ( eat less is teh obvious answer 🙂 ). The irony is that if I’d been my current weight when I was diagnosed with AFib, my CHADS core woudl have been higher and I would have been put on anticoagulants .. and not had a stroke !!! Who said being overwieght is bad for you :-D.
