Hello All, This is the First time I've posted anything on this forum but I find it very interesting reading about you all.
I was diagnosed with AF Since 2007 and its been a bit of a rocky road for me , I wont bore you with all the details.!!
Can I just say that when I read about some of you that are in permanent AF ,Can you feel your Heart out of rhythm ?.
The reason I have asked this is when I have a episode of AF its like that I can feel every missed beat , the only way I can describe this its like having Hiccup's . This can last between 4 Hours and 48 Hours. and so tired.
When I resume NSR its like winning the lottery . At the moment I take 1x Digoxin a day 125mg and 2x Flecainide 50 mg a day. This seems to have kept it at Bay (fingers crossed).

Diagnosed in 1992 and even back then I was not always aware I was out. It is only when that slope becomes a mountain that you realise it is not ticking a good beat. Every now and then it gives me a 12.5 gun salute just to remind me it is still there.
We are all very different and react to it in different ways. I have learnt to slow down and not to panic as that will not help at all. If it is playing up then I call for a GP appointment. Went to A&E once but I had a heart attack so was one of my better decisions.
I was in AF for a year (before my CV ). After a while I forgot the irregular beating and hardly thought about it. Like living near a railway, you soon don't hear the trains at all!
