Suggest Remedy For Weakening Of Heart Due To AFIB
My husband has afib, went in to have arteries, clogging possibilities checked and to be shocked back - in short everything is fine except the weakened heart caused by afib (per dr) ..ever since the procedure he has labored breathing even tho he is taking the diuretics prescribed, due to the fluids pumped into him to clear the dye used. My husband feels like the procedure caused all of his issues he has now when he never had these issues before. What do you think is going on and should we get a second opinion, we are scared and frustrated. He is 63 years old and has never had this kind of stuff to deal with.

you probably need to adjust the medications....some times excessive use of diuretics can cause excessive fluid loss which can result in fatigue.
he can also do cardio rehabilitation exercise and chest physiotherapy to improve resp efforts.
