[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1626195, member: 429870"] I'm 75 and a fellow AF sufferer. I noticed you say you are taking aspirin. If that is with a view to lowering your risk of stroke due to AF, aspirin is not appropriate as it affects platelets and with AF it is fibrin that is the problem. Against fibrin one can take Warfarin or, much better imo, one of the New Oral Anti Coagulants. To take aspirin AND an NOAC is not advised. AF is not supposed in itself to be dangerous, but it can lead to forming clots which obviously are, hence the advice to take a blood "thinner". [/QUOTE]
