He mentioned that she had mitral valve prolapse but didn t think that was the cause of her fatigue and advised her take more iron in her diet while they waited for the blood test results. However a subsequent ECG revealed that she had atrial fibrillation which he said might also explain her fatigue. The physician prescribed a drug called rivaroxaban and told Jessica that she should perhaps exercise more moderately and that she should definitely stop smoking.
