8. AFib Causing Reduced Ability to Exercise
A lack of oxygen to the heart, brain, muscles and lungs may hamper the ability to be physically active. An oxygen deficit caused by AFib may limit the body's ability to move. Even mild-to-moderate walking may be impossible during an AFib episode.
Sports, gardening and other strenuous exercise may be impossible when the body cannot respond to motion stimuli. Even household chores, such as vacuuming and mopping, may cause shortness of breath and weakness.2’What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFib or AF?)
