I have been a body builder since I was 18yrs. old and was diagnosed in 2003 with afib. Took wafarin everyday up until I was diagnosed with SSS in 2010. Had PM implanted in May of that Year, resumed under Drs. permission that I could do what ever physical activity that I wished but no boxing. I am 57 now and am taking the best care of myself, eating right, no alcohol or caffeine, and work out every other day. 8 sets of 100 pushups, 8 sets of 100 situps, 6 sets of 40 to 60 curls with 50lbs, and 6 sets of 60 to 80 military presses with 50lbs. I have had no side affects and am interested in just staying fit and healthy and I feel wonderful. I will keep up this regime until I am told different. I believe my condition was brought on by chronic alcoholism which injured my body, even though it was mainly beer and wine, It is all the same no good!!!!!! I now take Pradaxa twice a day with no side effects.
