I have a mild case of Atrial Fibrillation that I didn't even know I had until my doctor diagnosed it about 25 years ago. It is being treated with blood thinners, but that's it. My doctor warned me about welding, and even told me to stay away from the magneto on my race car. I did replace the mag with a Mallory flattop (I only run exhibitions anyway), but have generally ignored his advice about welding (I only do Stick and MIG), as I thought his concerns were overblown. I have never had a problem. (Now watch what happens!)
