Af at 140 for the last 6hrs

[bushy2016]

Ive had af for nearly a year had ablation 10 weeks ago...recently going into AF in the high 140s to 170s and feeling unwell..i.e tired and just cant summon the strength to get up..shall I just fight it out?

No one can tell you what to do but the fact you are wondering makes me think you should go to a and E- even just to be monitored 140 is a high pulse rate and if you are feeling unwell it's best to be safe than sorry

Hi Bushy

I agree with Rosy and if it were me at that rate and feeling unwell I think I would be off to A+E. You could ring the 111 number for advice.

111 will just tell you to go to A&E - they never tell you anything else.

They've called an ambulance for me several times.

They once called one for me and I didn't even know it until it arrived on my doorstep. Only rang for advice 😂

Similar time scale with me, after procedure no 1 AF returned with a vengeance 3 weeks later with h/r much higher than it had been before ablation, up to 160 at times. I stuck it out for several weeks before on a INR visit to GP he couldn't read pulse it was so fast. Sent to A&E and they wondered why I had left it so long. So I agree with others, best to have it monitored by the professionals.

Hope things have calmed down now for you bushy. If not I would definitely go to A & E.
