Just do the slow deep breathing exercise which WILL help.

Hi Ethel.

It's GREAT you are back in sinus. This shows treatments are likely to work for you.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi Ethel

I get them regularly. I typically drink water and they go. Since my ablation I really have been on good form with no AF so I can deal with the odd ectopic. Water and exercise seem to be my goto’s for heart related matters now.

Yes! Water is so important when I get them. Be well~

I'm so glad it went well! Deep belly breathing, with exhale longer than inhale, works for me regarding ectopics.

Can take a day or more for everything to settle, a good nights sleep you will feel better in the morning.

I had a cardio version following a month of permanent AF. It took three attempts to get it back in rhythm but three weeks on its still okay. I initially had a few flutters that made me nervous and subsequently have had a racing heart rate that was the trigger for AF previously, but this time reverted to normal rhythm. I'm thinking that alcohol could have caused this on these occasions.

Not what you're looking for?
