Feeling sad
Anyone else feel forgotten Having a moan, I was diagnosed three years ago with AFib , I am 73. This disease is the most awful thing and no one in the medical profession seems interested . I have no contact with my Consultant and my Doctors told me you have a chronic condition , learn to live with it.

A bit disheartened and confused
A little over 2 years ago at age 36 I experienced the first of what I came to find out was an Afib episode (of course, not until after being told I was just having panic attacks by some very unhelpful ER personnel). This was about a week after a doctor had prescribed me rizatriptan for headaches (

Shall I have a ICD or not?
Hi all just reaching out to who have had an icd fixed underneath their armpit left side. I’m currently in hospital contemplating to take this option or go home on medication and just be cautious. Been in hospital for 1 week now and they haven’t given me a diagnosis but just want me to have a icd in case

PAF changing experiences
Hi, I do not post very often but read the posts every day. I thought the Patients Day was excellent this year. Brief recap of my history:- I am 80 years young and have had PAF since January 2001. I would have one or two episodes a year until last year when I had them every couple of weeks. This year

My PVC’s are back! I used to take Escitalopram for 4 years to keep them under control.
I have found 2 studies that note that Escitalopram could be a precursor to AFib. Another item that cardiologists don’t mention. PVC’s are making my heart do double backflips at night causing anxiety. Anyone in the same situation?

Failure at getting off antiarrhythmic med
I am a 57 years old Male. March 2021, afib episodes, while deep breathing to try to slow my heart rate, fell in syncope, had sustained vtach, vfib and cardiac arrest. Fortunately, I was already hospitalized for rapid afib and watched on a heart monitor. 2 days later I had a pacemaker/defibrilator.

DVLA
Back in August I posted that I'd written to the DVLA about my Afib after I was comparing car insurance quotes for renewal and one of the questions was about notifiable health problems. The DVLA website was a bit ambiguous which is why I contacted them. I finally got a letter this week bit scared to open

Post Wolf Minimaze - 11 days - feeling great
Post Wolf Minimaze - 11 days - I am off Eliquis for life since my surgeon Dr. Randall Wolfe at Houston Methodist Hospital clipped my Left Atrial Appendage. The LAA is where blood pools during afib and can cause a stroke. What a relief to have this done. I am currently AFIB free since 2/21/20 and was

TiredofIBS
Anyone here has experienced getting Afib after strong orgasmic event? Been shocked back into sinus rhythm but cardiologist does not feel this event caused my Afib but my mitral valve regurgitation. No question it was the strong orgasm as I experienced strong heart abnormal beats like your heart was going
