To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download At 88 years old I just found out I have Atrial Fibilitions [fibrillations] Took two much senna leaves for a laxative then started getting weak and lost appetite and became dehydrated. My daughter after seeing how bad I was with the runs and so weak called 911. Not a second too soon, got to John Miur hospital in Walnut Creek Ca. and told me I was having as heart attack and that I had Atrial Fibilations. Well over a year ago I was told by my doctors in New York City where I live that I had A RACING HEART.But never was ever told about the Atrial fibilitions and that I have a Biatrial enlargement. I am visting my daughter in the Bay Area and she had called my doctor in Far Rockaway N. Y. about why didnt he ever tell my Mom this. All he could do was say ‘ oh no no, she never had that she must of just got that”. Please tell me if that is true or should I seek a new doctor for allowing me to go untreated for a coronary heart disease that I had no knowledge of except I sometimes would have a racing heart, but thewy never gave any medicine for this problem or any advise whatso ever on this heart problem. Please comment on this. Comments
