Michael: My EP, as well as my close friend who is a cardiologist certainly don't think so, and I have no limitations on what I can try to do. Only my lack of conditioning and weight are holding me back now. Without having any wine or other alcohol the day before, my resting rate is now back to below 70 most of the time, and when at complete rest, it is around 60.
I believe that if I could shed the weight I gained during 8+ years of AF and drugs, I could get back into the shape I was in at around age 50, when my mid-day resting rate would be under 50. Give yourself some time as Ed says.
You didn't indicate what your max HR is during exercise, or if your "resting" HR is while you are just sitting still during the day, or when you are totally rested or even almost asleep.
