Feel ok, chest feels a bit batterd but a small price to pay. Resting heart rate after was still ninty so that was a little disappointing has anyone else had the same? Still on warfarin for six weeks , digoxin dropped , verapermil until I see docs to sort bp out as v high. Resting now and praying it stays in normal rythumn for as long as ! X

Raised heart rate is normal and should gradually lower. but may take a while.

Hi - So glad all went well for you. I had my cardioversion two weeks ago and am still doing fine. I wont brag that I'm cured as it's early days yet. When I've gone three months with no paroxysmal AF I will feel more confident that it has succeeded. I dropped Digoxin a few days before and was I glad as it didn't agree with me at all. I've been a bit paranoid about what to eat now as I've discovered that anything sweet makes my heart beat stronger. Long may your new sinus rhythm continue.

of course, its the same as your normal car engine, now running on all 4 cylinders instead of 3 or even 2. Instant results, fingers crossed it keep s that way for you both
