Long story short i was diagnosed with benign ateial fibrilation. Its a random occurance, like 1 out of 365 days it happens to where i go from a resting HR of 60-70bpm to 170-220 in an instant with the heart rate being all irratic and inconsistent. Because of the two past episodes my training and cardiac endurance has suffered tremendously.
i was just cleared today to start back up training. Now my only issue is i have a taget heart rate of 150 bpm (docs orders) but being on a treadmi for 2 min im gasping for air due to the stress of the thought of going into a-fib while training (anxiety) and the lack of physical exhertion over the past 6 months.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to helping me increase my cardiac endurance quickly but safely? Should i just start walking on an incline 3.5-4.0mph till i reach my target heart rate and maintaining that rate for say 20-30 min per day and slowly increase or does anyone have any other suggestions not involving a treadmill, eliptical or stationary bike.
If you need me to elaborate more please feel free to ask. Figured a general idea of my problem could get these suggestions going
