Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Extreme Fatigue And Nausea Normal Post Treatment For Atrial Fibrillation?
I am taking care of a 90 year old woman with congestive heart problems. She has had atrial fibrillation and is now on a pacemaker. She was ok for over a year and then developed the atrial fib again. It took 5 days on all the meds used for that for that until her heart rate came down although it was irregular. It is now regular but since that last hospitalization she has been very weak. She can only tolerate taking 2-4 steps maximum before becoming extremely nauseated and weak. Is this normal?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, in age of 90 years and with some heart disease nothing can be normal and great care need to be taken in such case, good nursing care would be best, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day,
