I have episodes of AF which get worse from anxiety and stress. Apparently according to hospital and GP a huge amount of the population suffer from also.

I am sure there are also forum members who have AF I am looking for ideas on how to deal with episodes which come and go and made worse by stress.

Its easy for doctor to say relax but sometimes easier said than done

Hello Contrarymary, thanks for updating your condition, but with this AF we can never be sure when it's going to happen and every time I go to my doctor he always takes my pulse and says 'it's fine', not exactly sure what he means by that, because I'm sure my AF fluctuates during the day when I'm in certain situations, not that I know when because I'm used to it.

Take care.

Geoff.
