Hi Gwyn, sorry that this has spoilt the day that you were looking forward to with your daughters. It always seems to happen when you least need it. Try to relax and not worry, as long as you have your meds you know it will pass. You arent a wimp, we have all felt like that at some time.

Best wishes, Jackie.

Oh dear what a stress for you . I know exactly how you feel. It's bad enough anytime but the added worry of being far from home makes it feel even worse. This condition brings enough worry and anxiety generally without the added pressure of being far from home. With your hubbys illness too it's little wonder it's hit you.

I often find that my arrhythmia holds off when I am going through big life events but then kicks in big style when I am through the problem or start to relax a little or am having a pleasant time.

Do you have any pill in the pocket medication prescribed, i don't go anywhere without mine.

You will be fine although it won't feel like it currently. Calming thoughts, deep breaths and the sure knowledge that it will pass may help, gently does it. We are all here to support you and completely understand. We have all been where you are now and all still here to tell the tale.

Big cyber hugs sent your way. All will be well. Xx

On way home.

Thanks for the support.

J truly appreciate it.

I guess you are probably home by now......if so, hope you feel safe and more relaxed. Also hope that hubby is responding to his treatment, I used to be involved in patient transport at the Royal Marsden and it was so encouraging to see how so many patients doing so well. Wimp you are not.....human you are......good luck Gwyn

Flapjack. Thanks. Yes home.

I really thought over these past few weeks I may have had an AF,due to my husbands condition. He sadly has stomach cancer inoperable. But now having chemo and so far so good.

Our step Grandson was taken by his mother without permission and police had to be called in. He is safe now .

Yet an outing to our daughters brought it on.

Just one of those things I suppose.

It's still ticking away but I feel safe.. silly isn't it?

Again thank you

Hi Gwyn

You've had some great advice, and from the many people telling us their stories here, we know that stress is a trigger for AF, and my goodness you've had enough stress for a while.

Now at home, your body relaxes just that tiny bit, and it's enough to take you out of the stress and back into a relaxed heartbeat.

The lesson of course is now try and avoid those stresses, not easy I know and believe me I am not glib about this, but try to plan in advance when you know stress might strike, or even saying perhaps to your daughters, can you come to me this time?

Of course with an ill husband, and other life challenges stress will never be avoided, but it can sort of be partially managed, and the lesson is that you need to do that I suspect.

Thinking of you

Be well

Ian

Thanks Ian.

Our girls have been truly brilliant.

I think it was just me NOT being in my comfort zone.

But I really agree with your thoughts.

Tough times ahead. But we shall get there.

God bless this site.

Sanity reigns and support is amazing.

Thank you xx

Still going.

19 hours.

Unusual as it's usually sorted by now.

Well about to take my Bisopolol 10 mg see if that helps.

Any ideas?

Hurray....Just back in nsr.

Happy days.

Was it the bisopolol? Or just time?

Don't care.... Thank you.

in reply to gwyn53

That's good news Gwynn. Hope you have a quiet time with it now. I found that when I had an episode and it didn't resolve that it would if I suddenly changed what I was doing or thinking about. Sounds weird but it works!! Hope you're feeling better now Anne

Pleased to hear this. Every time it happens and then goes away for whatever reason, it makes it less bad next time. But not fair of it to spoil yesterday for you.

The medication might have had something to do with it stopping.

Thanks Anne.

I've been so good.

Just knackered now.

But onwards and upwards.

Hope everyone has an AF free day.
