Flutter

[kalgs]

I have PAF . This afternoon my pulse rate is 157 .

My Kardia 6L is saying AFIB but the ECG looks different . Never had it like this before . I’m on propafenone increased dose from today .

Hi, you could send a pdf of your report to your cardiologist secretary, I’m sure they’d contact you if necessary.

I'm not sure whether atrial flutter will be picked up by a Kardia, although the tachycardia it causes will be. Afl does cause tachycardia but it's unusual as it creates a sudden leap up to ~150bpm. If persistent, Afl causes all heart rates to be a ratio of 300 (150 > 100 > 75, etc.) with no smooth rise of fall, just an instant step-wise change.

I had it two years ago and it was simply awful, being so completely physically debilitating. Looking back, I suspect anxiety was a major aspect of how bad I felt, too. You have my sympathies!
