Question: I was hospitalized for 8 days just before Christmas. I was admitted because my afib and tachy XXXXXXX symptoms were getting very bad. I was kept and treated with IV antibiotics for a UTI. There is a connection between these conditions in my mind because they frequently occur together. What can I do to lesson the frequency of the afib.
