I do seem to be more “in the moment” now since I started taking this new heart medicine. It’s very much like what I experienced after the angioplasty with the resulting better blood flow. The world around me is more There. The afib hasn’t returned, and my energy level is noticeably better. I haven’t wanted to nap in two days. I think I’m also sleeping better.

I’m becoming convinced the atrial fibrillation was doing more to me than making my heart beat funny and putting me at risk of a stroke. It was also probably causing my nearly constant fatigue and fuzzy headedness, which I was just putting down to old age.
