back to SR after 12 days

[chrisinbrighton]

So after being in AF for 12 days and feeling lightheaded and out of breath it has suddenly gone and im back to normal...was maybe the shock of all the private health care costs!.

I have been on just 2.5mg of bisopropol.Is it normal to keep taking the drugs or should i be taking others to keep me in SN.

From reading posts im expecting to go back in sometime again.

Hi,

Difficult to answer questions without more knowledge of your particular case but wanted to say how good it is you are back in NSR- 12 days is a long time!!

Been in afib since 16 feb doing 150 bpm so how's 12 days a long time ?

[rosyG in reply to Nugger]

That’s a high rate. - I would be asking for cardioversion etc if I were you... perhaps you have?

[Nugger in reply to rosyG]

See cardiologist this Friday for first time & I'm hoping I get fast tracked,been close to going into a&e a few times but don't have any faith in our hospital sorting me out,been there done that.

I went to a and e at first...they wouldnt let me leave till heart rate was below 100

[Nugger in reply to chrisinbrighton]

Yep,that's how it should be BUT I had afib 3 years back,went to a&e,admitted me,let me out next day on a beta blocker & baby asprin & felt crap.

Well,went to hospital for cardiologist app & they admitted me,gave me 4 digoxin. & 4 hrs later another 4,whish they'd just cardiovert me & have done with it.

Good to hear you're back in sinus ryhthm- I'm into my 12 day in AF; never lasted this long before so it feels like an age. I'm hoping it will settle soon as my EP is away.

Hope you stay in NSR.

Good luck!
