So, it’s more than 9 weeks ago I had mitral valve repair done. A couple weeks ago, taking my 15-1600 step walk (4 times daily) was a snap. Now, it’s a struggle. I would think there would be daily improvement with some slight backslides. But, my walks are now a struggle. Might that be attributed to aFib? If so, why didn’t it bother me 2–3 weeks ago? Any suggestions.

Kimberly Eisenhut This does not address if you start having it over a month after surgery. I still am really struggling with pericaditis and these constant irregular rhythms ,even though I'm on colchicine and Prednisone. Sometimes for hours, especially after eating even very small meals. More bloodwork today and heart monitor next week. Makes it hard to breathe and just function at all. Every day at some point I'm ready to go to ER, it's that bad. Praying for some relief and this settles down and my sinus node can get it together 🥴

Richard Hines I knew about my aFib about 20 months ago. I think it started after a 5 hour phone battle with AT&T to switch my mother’s phone to my plan. I noticed a “flip-flopping” sensation in my chest that night that I never felt before. My wife of 55 years said she’d never seen me so upset like I was with AT&T.
