I have been in A fib for many years and this is successfully controlled with Warfarin. I am also on other drugs for this - ramipril and bisoprolol. We are planning several trips which will take us to a higher altitude, between 3000 and 3500m. This will not necessarily involve great exercise other than sightseeing. However we are concerned whether there will be significant risks, for example increased clotting.
