Ive got very mild breathlessness, ive posted on here before about this as its confusing as im in nsr with no ectopics. Im med free last dose of flec as a pip over one week ago. Is this the remaments of an af episode or something similar I cant weigh it up. My heart beat is nice and regular yet still this feeling on my chest?

Breathless......
I have PAF and im in nsr most of the time but I do get very breathless and light headed I was never like it before a/f so I put it down to the a/f I have found this year that the warm weather has made it worse and im getting more heart flutters..ifyou are still worried I would have a chat with your doctor .take care and keep well
Hi Jesse-james...i have PAF too and like you i get very breathless especially when walking any distance.....are you on beta-blockers..?....i think they make it worse.
Buy a £10 Oxymeter (the ones that fit on your thumb) from eBay and monitor yourself rigorously. You'll soon notice if there are any particular actions that cause the blood oxygen to suddenly drop. Then go and discuss with a chest consultant (not a normal cardiologist)
Hi Jimmysouthgates
go see your doctor and tell him your breathless and any other symptoms your having it may be nothing but you should have it checked out regardless and its not right to ignore it if your unsure what's happening .....hope you feel better soon

Thanks for the replies they are all taken on board. Should be due a appointment with my cardiologist soon, alots changed since our first meet. Things have def got worse so he needs to pull his finger out and come up with some effective solutions to things. Not even had an echo yet
See your GP first and get a chest X-ray. Where we are it is a walk in service every day. Also get GP to take your SpO2 levels with their oximeter so that it is recognised reading. Both these may make your meeting with the cardiologist more meaningful especially as cardiac consultant may not link and refer back to GP anyway.
