Jerry West has recently come out and said for most of his time with the Los Angeles Lakers he played with a heart problem. Actually the problem he said has been going on for more than 40 years but he only realized it was a problem when the anxiety and fast heart rate continued even after he was done playing ball. The actual disease he has is called atrial fibrillation this disease causes anxiety, sleepless nights and mood swings. However Jerry's problem isn't isolated around 2.5 million Americans suffer from heart problems just like this one.
Jerry West along with former U.S. Senator Bill Frist are spokesman for the AFib. The AFib is a group that helps get the word out about atrial fibrillation.
