Can you tell me what is this new symptom?
Hi once again. Just now I've noticed and felt a new type of heartbeat. My heartbeat was two beats -> pause -> two beats -> pause. Can someone tell what this is? I see a mention of bigeminy or pvc's. I'm currently almost a month post ablation. I didn't have afib episode since December. This is a first

Afib free since November, should I have an ablation or monitor with linq?
I know I have asked this question before but I am still confused and I didn't get to speak to Dr.Natale for my pre-op, just his NP and she didn't have my ekgs with afib from ER. But, should I have an ablation considering I have only had one registered afib event of 44 hours (and I have probably had

worried in France
Good evening everyone. wishing everyone a peaceful Easter. I am in need of a little advice from you lovely people. Since last Friday, I have been experiencing irregular heartbeats and combined with occasional AF. At least I presume that’s what it is, very fast beats. I don’t really know how long I should

Post Ablation follow up.
This site is a wealth of knowledge and common sense so I wonder if people could share their experiences with me.I had a PV ablation for Afib in May 2023 in an excellent Leicestershire hospital and had brilliant care but since then have not been seen by anyone - but I have been given a date of September

8Fast Regular Heartrate
HiI was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation about 3 years ago and I am on a low dose of a betablocker (Bisoprolol 1.25mg daily). I seem to go for quite long gaps without an episode and sometimes I'm not even sure if it is an Afib episode - I have other arrythmias so it can be hard to differentiate. For

paroxysmal atrial fibrillation converted back to sinus rhythm
Hi, I had a really awful Afib attack that resulted in a fast heart beat the other night. The morning after I took my medication and about an hour later my heart reverted back to sinus rhythm but for a few seconds I nearly passed out and remained very dizzy for the rest of the morning. It almost felt

Hydration and Afib paradox
All the cardiologists I have known suggest good hydration. I have paroxysmal Afib, and I noticed, like many Afibbers, that when I have a fibrillation I pee very often. Yesterday another Afib started, lasted six hours, and I delivered a total of 1 liter of pee. To replace it I should have drunk five

Reflex Tachycardia
Has anyone experienced reflex tachycardia with their prescribed rate control medication for afib/ flutter, either calcium channel blockers or beta blockers? I take diltiazem 120 mg extended release (and apixaban) and when sleeping have been experiencing a quick heart beat for only a minute around 90

Medication review
I have recently had a medication review from my GP(pharmacist). As I have now turned 65 it looks like in addition to the Flecainide/Bisoprolol I also will also need anticoagulants. I was diagnosed with loan Paroxysmal AF about 20 years ago but have only had 2 episodes in the last 4 years and the most

Eliquis and surgery
I will have to go off my Eliquis for several days prior to having surgery on one of my eyes. I am terrified that I may go into AF while off it. Has anyone had to go off their anticoagulant for surgery and had AF without it causing a stroke?

Diltiazem
On the very last morning of a month's visit to the USA from UK, at 4:00am with bags packed, boarding passes printed and a driver set to come to take me to the airport, the beast returned. I couldn't believe it! I through down the max dose of Flecainide hoping I would convert to NSR, but not this

Is Sertraline worth a try
Have been on venlafaxine for a long time together with pregabalin with little success. Am now off pregabalin and reducing venlafaxine with the hope of substituting to another drug. Dr has suggested sertraline with a diazepam emergency back up. Anyone tried this. My mood is unstable and I have highs

Fainting and shakes
Hi, I am new to posting but have been reading for some time. I was diagnosed with afib in 2021 and also had a stroke caused by a brain bleed. I am now in PAF which kicks in every 2 weeks or so, lasting a few hours. When this happens I usually have a "funny turn" , feel a bit faint for a few seconds

Recovery stories after PFA?
Just scheduled a PFA (pulsed field ablation) for mid-June, and was wondering if anyone might share their recovery stories - is it an easier recovery than Cryo or RF? I had a cryo ablation in 2018, and after a couple of years of trial and error, had almost 3 years of no AF episodes on 200mg/day of Flecainide
