Have you ever wondered whether your lifestyle can affect your afib, and whether you could make changes that could prevent or slow the progression of afib?
If so, we’d like to invite you to listen in on a no-cost webinar playback of my interview with renowned afib genetics expert Dr. Emelia Benjamin.
Take Advantage Of This Rare Opportunity To Hear From A Top Afib Expert.
I was lucky to discover that I have A fib from a sleep study before getting a heart attack as my wife cousin did.
Then I dig a bit dipper on my issue: My father was a loud snorer
but he was never diagnosed with sleep apnea. At the time they didn’t
know is a dissed, just some people snores!
Than my father died from an embolism on the brain at 81 years; So I made the connection: Sleep apnea triggered a fib produced blood cloth(s) which traveled to the brain, eventually. So my issue could be genetic.
