On Tykosyn was SINUS but now AFIB

[jsanta]

I had three ablations none worked. Then went on the Tykosyn program twice a day 250 Mgr. for the the last three years have been in Sinus rythum. Except a few times once about 3 months ago had knee replacement was in AFIB for 3 days then went back into Sinus.A lot of stress this weekend and had a couple of glasses of wine. Now Kardia showing possible AFIB I am praying I kick back into Sinus.

Do not want to go for conversion being I am scheduled for a month vacation leaving Friday..

Any thoughts?

Are you taking Tikosyn presently? You need a 12 lead EKG to check your QT interval and confirm whether or not you are in AFib. Further treatment would depend on results.

Yes 250 twice a day. I had normal readings from Kardia previously now reading possible AFIB. Supposed to be pretty accurate..

Etheral knows exactly what he is talking about - if he says you need a 12 lead EKG and a cardiologist report - I would do exactly that before going on holiday.
