TES 858 Posted March 22, 2013 Amanda, hope you are feeling better today. Please make sure you have a consult with a cardiologist as soon as you can (or follow up with yours if you already have one). I'm not trying to scare you, but I am in medical communications, and I am writing an article right now on AFib and stroke risk (1 in 7 strokes are precipitated by an episode of AFib). It's not an issue as long as you can control the AFib, which can be done under a qualified cardiologist's care using rhythm control drugs or another approach that your cardiologist deems appropriate. Take good care. Wishing you all the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm happy to report I'm back in sinus rhythm and was given blood thinners and a dose of metoprolol.. Fortunately the a-fib was a temporary event. It happened once b4 two years ago.

rachel marie 42 Posted March 23, 2013 Amanda, I'm sorry that we weren't able to continue our adventure back to San Diego together.

AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. Unfortunately the second leg of my journey was an event, but I believe all the prayers and support helped keep my mom and I strong... My heart started acting up right b4 takeoff. Had to stop take off and was taken to University Hospital in Aurora, CO. I've been released and I hoping and praying that we make it home today safe and healthy.
