Flu Shot

Hi,
I have Atrial Fib. and take one BP pill that I thought was the cause of my
fatigue and breathing problem, but I'm beginning to think maybe something is
going on in my chest, maybe pneumonia or etc.
I don't have a cough or anything like that, just tired, and breathless in
the early hours mostly in the mornings. I was wondering if it was safe to
get a flu shot. Or should I wait even longer and see my MD first. I have an
appt. on Monday.

I know it's important for anyone with my condition to get the flu shot. The
problem is I go to a cardiologist but I would get the Flu shut in a
different area in the building (the coumadin clinic they call it where I
get my blood check)and I would never be able to see the Dr. now before my
appt for the shot.
Thanks so much for any input....Nel
