It’s Global AFib Awareness Week — Reset the Rhythm, Reclaim Your Life!

With that in mind, it’s a good time to talk about the connection between atrial fibrillation and sleep apnea.

Poor sleep, often caused by sleep apnea can cause atrial fibrillation. Even small interruptions in an individual's sleep quality and duration can increase the risk of atrial fibrillation by as much as 18%, and those who experience insomnia are up to 40% more likely to develop AFib.

If you have AFib and are looking for support, our AFib Life program can help. For more information visit, www.my-view.ca. Questions, email us at wellness@my-view.ca.

For Global AFib Awareness Week — Learn the Common Symptoms of AFib

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is a common heart condition that affects millions. AFib symptoms may include: dizziness, fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and chest pain (especially in people with underlying heart disease).

But with the right steps, AFib can be managed and prevented! Here’s how you can take charge of your heart health:

Stay Active: Regular exercise can help regulate your heart rhythm and keep your heart strong. Even 30 minutes a day makes a difference!

Heart-Healthy Diet: Focus on whole foods, rich in fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limiting salt, sugar, and alcohol can also lower your risk. And don’t forget to stay hydrated!

Maintain a Healthy Weight: Carrying extra pounds can strain your heart, increasing your risk for Afib.

Manage Stress: Stress and anxiety can trigger Afib episodes.

Monitor Your Blood Pressure: High blood pressure is a major risk factor for Afib. Regularly check your BP and work with your healthcare provider to keep it in check.

Sleep well: Poor sleep, often caused by sleep apnea can cause atrial fibrillation.

Follow Your Treatment Plan: If you’ve been diagnosed with Afib, work closely with your doctor to manage your condition. This may include medications, lifestyle changes, or even procedures like an ablation.

If you think you have Afib, see your healthcare provider. For those without a healthcare provider, we offer an Afib self-referral clinic. Visit www.pace-cardiology.com for more info

It’s Global AF Awareness Week — Reset the Rhythm, Reclaim Your Life

AFib affects millions but managing it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. From medications to lifestyle changes, there are many ways to lower your risk of stroke and improve heart health.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Arrhythmias are due to electrical signal disturbances of the heart. AFib is the most common type of arrhythmia.

The risk of developing atrial fibrillation increases with age and with other risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure and underlying heart disease. The main complications of atrial fibrillation are stroke and heart failure.

In AFib, the electrical signals are fast, irregular and disorganized, and the heart may not pump as efficiently. Atrial fibrillation can cause your heart to beat very quickly, sometimes more than 150 beats per minute. It may even feel like your heart is “skipping a beat.”

Symptoms of AFib may include: dizziness, fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and chest pain (especially in people with underlying heart disease).

Join us in spreading the word about heart rhythm disorders and the importance of heart health. If you have concerns about your heart rhythm, ask your healthcare provider to be referred to our clinic at www.pace-cardiology.com. If you don’t have a physician or a cardiologist, you can self refer to our AFib Clinic by visiting www.pace-cardiology.com

Your heart matters.

Exercise and Your Heart

Did you know that physical activity can be as beneficial to your heart as medication in many cases? With that in mind, it’s recommended that everyone exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, every day.

How to fit exercise into your day:

Start by walking. Suggestions include: parking your car at the far end of a parking lot, so you have farther to walk to a building's entrance, choosing the stairs rather than the elevator, and spending part of your lunch break walking.

Wake up a bit earlier and exercise before you do anything else.

Slowly increase the intensity of your workout, but make sure not to over do it.

Use a wearable fitness tracker to count your steps. Try increasing your daily steps by 500 each week with the goal of reaching 10,000 steps per day, a level that can produce many health benefits.

Talk to your doctor about an exercise that would be right for you.
