Yes, many people with AFib live a long life. Working closely with your care team to make sure your heart rate and rhythm are under control, and preventing strokes, are two of the most important ways to make sure you stay healthy.
If your AFib is not well controlled, you need to speak with your doctor about physical activity. But for those who have well-controlled heart rate or rhythm, going back to regular physical activity is a reality, including sexual activity. Exercise can help reduce your risk of stroke, lower your resting heart rate over time, and manage your mood and weight.
Stopping smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and eating a heart-healthy diet that includes healthy fats, high fiber, and a variety of fruits and vegetables can all contribute to your best heart health. Avoiding caffeine, salt, and certain fats may also help.
