Like.
In addition to reiterating the advice to discuss the Camino with your cardiologist, I wanted to add that you should be sure to explain the importance that the Camino holds for you and what degree of risk you're willing to accept. Every case of... -

First, the answer to your question: Yes, I have afib. I walked the first half of the Camino del Norte this summer/fall. It was blazing hot beginning to mid-September and I was pretty careful about making sure I was hydrating and taking plenty of...

I have A-Fib but walked for two months this fall on the Camino Olvidado, Invierno, and Dos Faros. I take a blood thinner every morning and carry Metoprol Tartrate with me whenever hiking. As an 81 year old, I'm a little slower and will stop to...

Hi I have A Fib and I have been in A Fib for the last six years, I,m 80 years old/young and I walk with a tri implant. I let the camino guide me thru my journey, if I felt tired I stopped or did not walk on that day, I just walked at a slower...

I agree go before you are told you can't go. I had 3 strokes at 70 and it was found that I had atrial fribulation. With a mis spent youth that has caused a knee revision and a lumbar spine problem I decided it was time to take control. If I am...

Fall of 2014, my wife and I walked the CF, while I had AFib. I had had a failed ablation in August that year (equipment failure), and my doctor was against me doing the Camino. My response to him was, if I didn't go would he promise me that I...

ICBWB reacted to wayfarer's post in the thread Anybody out there doing a Camino with A Fib? with Like.
I walked the CF in 2012 and 2013 with A Fib. My doctor and cardiologist encouraged walking so no problem doing it. No special equipment needed other than my meds. Listen to your body, take plenty breaks but most importantly get advice from your...

Understand that I am NOT providing any medical advice, I am just chiming in with some personal experience, and just IMHO. We trained doing 6-9 mile hikes 3-4 times a week, riding a bicycle, and swimming for 9 months and we were late 60s in age...
