欧博百家乐Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): Symptoms & Tr
How do I take care of myself?
The same habits that lower your risk of Afib help you feel better when you have it. Eating nutritious foods and getting 30 minutes of physical activity five days a week helps your heart. You can break up your activity into 10-minute chunks to make it easier. Cutting out tobacco products and alcohol is good for your heart, too.
When should I see my healthcare provider?There’s no single schedule to follow. It all depends on your symptoms and treatment plan, and whether you need follow-ups after a procedure. So, it’s important to talk with your provider and make a plan together. Make sure you go to all your scheduled appointments. Keep track of the medications you’re taking and bring a list of your medications to every visit. It’s also a good idea to keep the list in your wallet so it’s with you in emergencies.
At each visit, be sure to share any new symptoms or problems you’re having, like side effects from medication. Be sure to ask your provider before taking over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, like those for cold and flu, and nutritional supplements. Sometimes, these products can affect your heart rate or interact with your prescription medications.
What questions should I ask my healthcare provider?Questions to consider asking your provider may include:
How can I reduce my risk factors?
Can you connect me with a dietitian?
Can you recommend any local health and fitness programs?
