‘A-Fib-Zebub’ Whispers in your Ear …”A-Fib’s not that Bad”

Published January 3, 2019

That little voice has a name: A-Fib Zebub.

This little character is called “That Demon A-Fib-Zebub“. He’s that tiny voice that’s whispers in your ear…“You don’t look sick! A-Fib’s not that bad. You can live with it”.

Don’t Listen to A-Fib-Zebub!

Any time A-Fib-Zebub pops up in your head, it’s time to remember that A-Fib is not benign, but a progressive disease. It’s not a “nuisance arrhythmia” as some doctors consider it.

And don’t, as one doctor told his patient, just “take your meds and get used to it”.

Don’t Settle for a Lifetime on Meds: Aim for a Cure

Who wants this demon on their shoulder for the rest of their lives? Don’t listen to A-Fib-Zebub! Instead seek your A-Fib cure like I did (see my personal A-Fib story: Finding my Cure).

For many, many patients, A-Fib is definitely curable.

Always Aim High! If you have A-Fib, no matter how long you’ve had it, you should aim for a complete and permanent cure. Shoot for the moon, as they say, and you’ll find the best outcome for you and your type of A-Fib.

Personal Stories of Hope and Lessons Learned

To help bolster your resolve, seek encouragement from other patients. Other A-Fib patients have been where you are right now and have shared their personal experiences (starting with story #1 by Steve Ryan).

Each story is told in their own words. Some stories are told in a few paragraphs while other stories are longer, spanning years, even decades. Symptoms will vary, and treatments choices run the full gamut.

Browse through our list of over 99 Personal A-Fib stories of Hope. Look for patients with similar symptoms or situations as your own. Many writers have included their email address if you want to contact them directly. Read a story or two to learn how others are dealing with this demon we call Atrial Fibrillation. Their hope and courage is contagious.

Do not learn to live with Atrial Fibrillation.
