Two - weight loss, yes it ain’t fun but you’ll feel better and look younger. Start at losing 10 percent of your current weight, then go from there.

Three - limit or stop alcohol consumption, yeah that ain’t fun either but alcohol is very hard on your heart.

Four - get some exercise, no you don’t have to run five miles every day, just get out, get a dog, go for some walks.

If you do those four things and still have an arrhythmia reoccurrence you will have done everything on your part to help your Doctors do their part.
