AV Node Ablation
80 years old in Sept and still plagued by afib. Pacemaker fitted in May 2021 and awaiting next step which I’m sure will be AV node ablation – last stop saloon! But is this the only option? The last ablation in 2013 lasted 5 years and possibly longer if severe Mitral regurgitation hadn’t triggered it.

Turmeric instead of a blood thinner?
Hi all, wondering if there’s anyone out there who has moved off of using prescription blood thinners in favor of “natural “ remedies such as turmeric? I see on the internet a lot of warnings not to use turmeric while on a blood thinner, but no mention of going the other way ‘round , which seems like

Worst episode ever, waiting for answers
Hello all. I'm 24 years old and in the middle of my heart journey. About 2 years ago I noticed that my heart was pounding quite a lot when doing any mild exercise such as walking or going up flights of stairs and I also got other symptoms such as loss of vision, lightheadedness etc. I take Propranolol

Is this Afib or Normal Palpations?
For awhile, I’ve been feeling skipped/extra beats sometimes induced by anxiety and sometimes after I eat. The ones I experience after I eat are the most intense, usually flip flopping and my anxiety increases it even more. My immediate thought was if this was Afib and I immediately panicked. Received

Me & my running buddy Belle one of my pigley wigleys. Spreading the positivity. I wanted to share with this wonderful group that on Friday I ran my first 10k since my AFIb diagnosis last July.

Stopping Flecainide
I’ve decided to stop Flecainide since I haven’t had an AFib episode in 5 months. I’m staying on Xarelto, of course, so what’s the harm? I don’t like the long term effects of being on Flecainide. Has anyone else stopped their anti arrhythmic to test whether they no longer suffer from AFib?

Ablation and travel
Hello everyone! Just found this site as a lay awake. (Not sleeping well lately). I’m having an ablation under general anesthesia this Wednesday. I’d planned to do it after a planned trip to the Grand Canyon but I had another episode of feeling like I would black out so the doctor moved it up sooner.

My experience, 8 weeks post ablation
Hi all I wanted to share my story after I found the information in this forum super helpful. I had an ablation done both for Afib and Flutter exactly 8 weeks ago. During the past year, prior to the procedure, I hardly had any episodes after I had been put on Flecanide and Diltiazem. I went for ablation

Anticoagulants

New here, difficulty getting diagnosed - advice/similar experiences most welcome!
Hello, I am hoping someone may have had a similar experience to me and may have some advice... I am 48 and started experiencing palpitations in January of this year. When my partner feels my pulse, he will feel it miss a beat and at the same time I feel a judder/flutter in my chest. I don't experience

Aflutter getting me down.
Hi I would like some advice. I have had Afib for 5 years and was managing well on Flecanide. I had the odd breakthrough but as a whole I coped well on the drug. Then I developed atrial flutter out of the blue. I am not sure if Flecanide caused it or not. Since then I would say things have been tough.

Eligard/Leuprolide no effect at all
Hi, Had my first shot of Eligard (6 month dosis Leuprolide) 3 months ago and got my PSA test today, which was 13 3 months ago it was 6,5. It seems like Eligard/Leuprolide doesn't work for me. Before my first shot of Eligard I was on Bicalutamide for 2 years which had effect the first 1½ year. Isn't
