    Atrial Fibrillation- May 2021

    You're listening to season 2 of the Penny's Hill Practice podcast! We are back after an a small break! Welcome back! In this episode, Dr Geoff Hamp and Dr Sam McGinley look at atrial fibrillation.  Did you know that if you have atrial fibrillation you are 5 times more likely to have a stroke? And that 1 in 5 strokes in the UK are caused by atrial fibrillation? However, if your atrial fibrillation is diagnosed, there is medication that can reduce that risk? Sounds easy, doesn't it? But what are the symptoms of atrial fibrillation? How would you know you have it? And just how do you take your pulse accurately? Well, in this episode we will cover these questions and more! To have a look at Arrhythymia Alliance's Know Your Pulse campaign, have a look at their site here. And why not have a listen to our very popular podcast on blood pressure and how to take your blood pressure here. To hear our episode on low fat diets, have a listen here and on losing weight listen here. And to hear our episode on stopping smoking, you can hear that here, and our episode on alcohol, do have a listen here.
