Hi All,

When it comes to episodes I've been pretty lucky in the past, fairly well controlled on Flec (100 twice a day and Bisporolol 5MG) once per day.

Had an episode of AF on

Sat Night 27th Nov 2021 - around 21:45

Rate 157, came down to 137 and then around 110 before I converted

I took an extra 50MG of Flec which I think done the trick, converted around 23:00

I called emergency as I couldn't stand and quite breathless, they were very robotic and said there's an 6-8 hr wait for the Ambulance. I rode it out and they came around 12:30 in the morning, let them in and they did their stuff, I refused to go in as I was back in NSR. They understood my thought process as I didn't want to catch the Rona in the Hospital.

Then this morning Tues 30th Nov 2021 -

Rate I think around 90-100

Around 02:00 I flicked into AF by propping myself up in the bed. I took the extra 50MG of Flec, was less intense this time probably because I did't try standing up. I think it lasted around 15 mins.

Had my 2nd Vaccine (Pfizer) 4 weeks ago, also

I'm with you on this one. Been through the same - certainly the flec route. It can work wonders as a PIP. I don't want to be negative but your story is the same as mine. It's there in the back ground - maybe another CV is coming your way.

I wish you the best of luck anyway. I did 2 years afib free on flec and a CV. Stay postive / avoid stress and be careful about what you eat.

Good luck.

Paul

Sounds like you were stable before the Pfizer jab. I would research natural anti-inflammatories , maybe turmeric, and check with Alternative Practitioner & GP.

Not what you're looking for?
