Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common heart rhythm problem that can increase your risk of stroke and affect your quality of life. With the right treatment plan and lifestyle adjustments, most patients with AFib can live full and active lives.
Daily Tips for Managing AFib
- Take your medications exactly as prescribed
- Monitor your pulse and blood pressure at home
- Limit caffeine and alcohol intake, which can trigger episodes
- Avoid over-the-counter stimulants (such as certain cold medicines)
- Stay physically active with safe, moderate exercise
- Get adequate sleep and manage stress
