Atrial Fibrillation
"I had the first afib experience in 2004 (age 63)while playing senior softball, took shock paddles to convert.  Kept playing sports and had second episode in 2007, converted with Amiodarone. Stayed on that until new doctor (insurance changed), took me off without a replacement, re-ocurrence couple months later, restarted on Amiodarone for conversion. 

Back with original doctor, kept up Amiodarone and all the blood work, x-rays, pulmonary

function tests, etc. required semi-annual till 2014. Finally (after more tests) was switched

 to  100 mg. Flecanide &amp; 12.5 mg. Metoprolol  twice daily, with no semi-annual tests.

So far-so good, except for some arthritis ? issues, still active in sports (senior). Hopefully

this will stay with me."
