A DNA test, a book and a diet - AFib Eureka moment !
First I wanted to say what a fantastic group this is and just how much it has supported, reassured and lifted me on my AFib journey, it’s been invaluable I’m a 61 year old woman with paroxysmal lone AFib, possibly SVT too. My story in brief is that I was diagnosed 3 years ago after my Fitbit showed

PAF - move to PiP only
Hi Can anyone tell me of their experiences of moving from daily medication (Flecainide) to PiP only? Heart attack in 2019, out of the blue - fit & healthy. Investigations - no real culprit - eventually a few months later, after symptoms & further investigations, diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib. Basically

Two interesting articles
Here are links to two interesting articles. The first one details the benefits of exercise in preventing AF (it’s not clear if this applies to those who already have AF). The second-an older one which has been posted before but can probably stand repetition-details the negative effects of even small

What is Left Atrial Rhythm and is it related to Afib?
I have paroxysmal Afib, which appears to be well managed with Flecainide and Metoprolol. I am having an unrelated medical procedure next week so my anaesthetist sent me for an ECG, which I had to drop back to her office. After getting the ECG done by a nurse at my local GP's rooms, the nurse took the

Flecainide, Diltiazem and Shortness of Breath
Anyone get shortness of breath (SOB) from Flecainide and/or Diltiazem -- not right away, but months later? For the first six months on both drugs, I had no SOB. For the second six months I had SOB. Now that I stopped both drugs, it seems better. Could be a coincidence, but looking for group experiences

A question please
I had had bouts of Afib ranging on average of 12-18 hours a time for many years. I then had one of 55 hours 5 years ago. Then it was back to the usual pattern. Suddenly I’m into another long one? I have always self converted and never been to hospital, except twice in 18 years and that was with chest

Proper Drug for My Wife and Efficacy of an Ablation
For the past 40 days, my 77-year-old, relatively fit wife has been in and out of AFib — but mostly in. She’s had three trips to the hospital during this period, because her heart rate had been in the 120-150 range for several hours each time. On her first hospital visit, she was given Diltiazem and

Is it bad for you to just wait out an Afib spisode.
Over the last month I went into Afib 6+ times. The first one lasted about 12 hours. The next 3 I ended up in emergency and they had to cardiovert me. The 5th time lasted 24 hours. The 6th time, however, lasted 5 days. But I was so fed up with sitting in emergency for 12 hours and getting my chest blasted

Good resources regarding vagal AFIB?
Does anyone have any good resources (articles, YouTube videos) directed to vagally-mediated AFIB (the type that occurs after a large meal or while sleeping)? I believe my AFIB was triggered by endurance athletics (I used to do long bike rides and probably overdid it and stressed my body too much).

Amiodarona- I’ve been on it a week and feel very shaky, almost like tremors inside. Just wondering if I should continue with it ?
I am on holiday in Spain had a bad AFib attack with RVR ended up in intensive care. Long story short they put me on Amiodarona and I’m feeling very fatigued still (8 days after discharge) and very shaky. Thinking about coming off the drug since I really don’t feel good on it - thought at first it was

bradycardia interrupting sleep
I’m waking up during the night with low heart rate 42-48 bpm and a feeling that my heart is labouring. This is usually twice in the night and I often can’t get back to sleep after 4.00am. I think sleeping on my back doesn’t help ( I try not to) and my other half tells me I snore. Tried all the sleep

Eligard for me= poison
When getting Eligard shots after prostatectomy and radiation it was holding PSA level down. It also turned my thoughts angry and disgruntled. Doctor Larock from Mattapoisett is treating me with Flutamide and Bicalutimide 1 pill day each. Thanks Jesus I can write this and feel pretty good for 75. Eligard

Flecainide
I had a recent AFIB episode on Sunday. This was the first time I would take Flecainide PIP, and the EP wanted me to take it at the ER. He prescribed me 50 mg. I am on 180 mg of Extended Release Diltiazem. The attending ER doctor did not think 50 mg would make a difference (he said it should be 200
