You had great rhythm back then. Make sure your heart has great rhythm now.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) can raise your stroke risk up to 5X. The most common symptoms are a racing pulse or irregular heartbeat along with shortness of breath or fatigue. But sometimes there are no signs at all. Ask your doctor about AFib at your next appointment.

When Megan Buccholz’s smartwatch alerted her that she was in atrial fibrillation (AFib), she was sure it was a mistake. Her heart rate was high at around 180, but she felt fine. Fortunately, she got checked out anyway. The watch was right.

Sometimes people with AFib have no symptoms and their condition is only detected by a medical exam. Others may experience symptoms including fatigue, a rapid and irregular heartbeat, fluttering or thumping in the chest, weakness or shortness of breath.

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is an irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke and other heart-related complications. If you have any of the signs – fluttering heartbeat, chest pain, fainting or loss of appetite – take them seriously. Ask the doctor about AFib at your next appointment.

Caregiver burnout is more than everyday stress. Avoid it by taking care of your own physical and mental health. Eat right, get enough sleep, exercise, find a support system and remind yourself that you are doing your best. Because if you don’t prioritize your well-being, you can’t care for your loved one.
