Post Ablation breathing difficulties
Hi all! So, I’m 11 weeks post my (first ablation) and I seem to be one of the lucky ones with zero Afib symptoms since the procedure. Long may it last! But I’ve been having breathing issues ever since the op and wanted to know if others have been in a similar position? Generally my chest just feels

Never Ending
I was only diagnosed a week ago, after a weekend of being in AFib, went to the ER. Confirmed. It's been non stop ever since. I am now on Xarelto and Metoprolol 50 x2 a day. NO relief. Most of my ECG readings show heart rate around 130-140. BP mostly ok--a bit high, but not awful. I find myself

AF taking a different direction??
Had an AF attack yesterday and it was terminated after 3 hours with my PIP 200 mg Flecainide and half a metoprolol tablet. This is about average and I have attacks every 7 to 10 days. After a few hours rest I went for a walk but didn’t feel great, lethargic and generally off par. I kept checking my apple

Can you have thyroiditis with normal lab results?
I started getting a very painful front of neck about 7 weeks ago that was affecting one side but now has spread to the other side. It's not particularly visable but feels swollen to touch. During this time I started with palpitations that seem to get worse during the night and affect my sleep. I have

Seen cardiologist last week, I'm for cardioversion in next few weeks and he has said he will see me again early next year and suggests he will take me off meds and that's me done. I have been looking at other posts online and it suggests

Results of Exercise Before Bed Afib Experiment- Plus idea about 'Afib Citizen Science Projects' for forum members
I started a post 16 days ago about exercise before bed and Afib, see https://healthunlocked.com/afassociation/posts/148706621/have-any-vagal-afibbers-tried-exercising-before-bed I thought I would start a new post here so more people may benefit from my observations which are very interesting. Below

Interatrial Septal Aneurysm (ASA) - anyone with knowledge or experience of this condition or relevant recent research?
I am 75, with 2 years of paroxysmal AF, and looking again at my first Echocardiogram I had in May 2022, I notice there was a finding of an "interatrial septal aneurysm". This finding was mentioned almost in passing, without further emphasis or mention in the Report's Conclusions. However, while such

Flecainide without Bisoprolol
Just wondered if anyone has experience of taking Flecainide 150 without Bisoprolol 1.25 After wearing a holster for 24 hours my cardiologist is concerned that my heart rate drops to 30 during the night and said it would be okay to try taking Flecinide without Bisoprolol.I have stopped taking Bisoprolol

Newbie Finding Reassurance
I literally stumbled on this forum today whilst trying to breathe through yet another round of ectopic beats. I have had daily ectopics for 3.5 months now and yes, have been to AE and had paramedics out several times. GP surgery has been very slow in diagnosis and help - but I have managed to arrange

Early ablation better at preventing AF progression than drug therapy

Anti-arithmetic meds with Paxil (Paroxetine) - an anxiety med.
Was just wondering if anyone is on or has tried Flecainide or Propafenone while also taking Paxil (Paroxetine)? If so, how did it work out? Side effects or health issues or none at all? Thank you for anyone who cares to reply!

Anti-Arithmetic meds while taking Paxil (Paroxetine) - an anxiety med.
Does anyone take Paxil (Paroxetine) with Flecainide or Propafenone? Both these AFIB meds work better for vagal AFIB. Was just wondering if anyone mixed these two drugs, and if it has worked out or not? Thank you for any and all replies!

Atrial Flutter and AFib
Hello, Briefly I've had multiple Aortic/Mitral valve surgeries, with the second in 2013 I acquired Complete Heart Block, Permanent AF, Shunt, and my Pacemaker. I'm probably lucky that I've been reasonably stable over the years, other than every now and again having the PM settings altered. On Warfarin

kardia
Hi, I had atrial flutter treated successfully by ablation 2 years ago. I still take anti-coagulants and have been told that I could now stop these. I am worried about doing this, so my doctor is suggesting monitoring with a Kardia device for a few months and if all good, then stopping. My question

Thank you all for your encouraging replies to my post yesterday. Yes unless I have something wrong with me or I over exercise my heart rate does not go above 100. The only worrying concern is the Kardia readings which consistently show a variation of between 2.5 and 6.5 squares in one reading. If you

Gca Flare after 5 years ?
I was diagnosed GCA by biopsy in December 2017 and had all the classic symptoms, one was migraine aura which stopped once on 60mg. I've been tapering very slowly and got to 1 mg in September this year. Two weeks ago I had a migraine aura, my first since 2018. The only other symptom is some scalp tenderness
