Afib and HFPRF

I read that there is no drugs for HFPRF, but that cardio rehab could slow it down/stop progression.

Anyone have experience with this?

I have no risk factors. This frustrates me as I have always lived a healthy lifestyle. I am not over weight or obese, no diabetes, no metabolic disorders, low BP. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke, I have never done any drugs at all….not even over the counter. The ER doc said my blood work was “pristine”. So I want to know…why me?

There doesn’t seem to be any lifestyle changes that I could make. Only thing is I am 1) female, and 2) over the age of 70. So my chad score is 2. Don’t see how I can change that….

The only thing is, during this entire last year I have been through multiple surgeries…for my knee, hip, back. So, getting back on my feet has been a slow process: total of 18 weeks in physical therapy…then, just as I was starting to get back..the next thing would happen…including 8 weeks with shingles! Now, I can walk again..and Afib happened. I kept complaining about how tired and out of breath I am all the time. I thought it was the drugs for Afib. Blood test revealed HF. Echocardiogram show that it is diastolic. HFpRF.
