Be Heart Smart!
September is Atrial Fibrillation and Aortic Disease Awareness Month.
Diagnosing and treating AFib may prevent 60 to 80% of strokes, according to the
American Stroke Association. Sometimes people with AFib will not have any symptoms.
However, others may experience one or more of the following:
• Irregular heartbeat
• Heart palpitations (rapid, fluttering, or pounding)
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain or pressure
• Extreme fatigue
Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is the most common type of heart arrhythmia.
AFib occurs when the upper and lower chambers of the heart are not coordinated,
causing the heart to beat too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly...So what can you do?
--Be sure to exercise safely, see your doctor to determine if surgery is necessary,
and do your research on any medication prescribed!
--Eat and drink heart-healthy and organic: Here are just a few items;
