What are the questions you should ask your AFIB doctor?

It is important to ask the right questions when you have those few moments with your AFIB doctor.

My problem was that I forgot the questions!

Sometimes I did make a list on a small piece of paper and fired away with all my questions. It helped me tremendously.

But that’s not all! The doctor asked me some questions that I was not sure off. Like what does my family heart history look like?

The questions on my “AFIB appointment” form are not the only questions you can ask or be asked, but it is a very good start. It will make you think. Then jot down how and why your AFIB starts (if there is any apparent reason or none).

It will help with your own “assessment” and with getting the most out of your doctor’s appointment.

Things you could do right away!

You can eat and drink in a more AFIB friendly way. One of the best ways to go caffeine free is to start drinking Rooibos tea.

Below you will find my “AFIB doctor appointment questionnaire”

There is a link below the questionnaire where you can download it, hopefully it’s printable. Any comments are welcome.
