  • 1. I recently had an episode of atrial fibrillation. My doctor gave me pills to slow my heart, but I then had to go into the hospital to have my heart shocked back to its normal rhythm. I'm now taking Coumadin to prevent stroke. I feel fine, but worry that the fibrillation will come back. What brings on this condition?

  • 6. Ask the doctors. I have atrial fibrillation and have been taking warfarin to prevent blood clots for 10 years. It has not given me any problems. However, I do hate going to my doctor's office to get my INR blood test every month. I'm wondering whether I should switch to one of the newer blood thinners that don't require blood testing.

  • 13. Ask the doctor. I am 75 and have had atrial fibrillation for a while. I take digoxin, lisinopril, Coumadin, and Lipitor. My medications seem to work, but I'm still concerned about the big difference between my systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings. The systolic is usually between 130 and 150 and the diastolic is between 55 and 70. Should I worry about this?

  • 15. Ask the doctors. I recently developed atrial fibrillation, and I wonder whether I need to take an anticoagulant. I am 81 years old, active, and don't really notice when I am in atrial fibrillation. I was taking my pulse every now and then and found it to be irregular. My doctor said I was going back and forth between normal heart rhythm and atrial fibrillation. I am in normal (sinus) rhythm now, but he says I should be on warfarin because I have high blood pressure. What do you think?
