Hey lovely AFibbers.

Been a while & I said I would post after cardio Appmt in Dec. I had my specialist consultation in Dec with the teaching hospital, my local district general had referred me to.

It has been agreed that I will have to have surgical not catheter ablation due to my occluder device. However, because I have been PAF free since March, this has all gone on hold & they have discharged me back to the local hospital for now. Basically all of the ducks are in a row when & if I need to re-present!

My consultant feels that the HRT & lifestyle changes are attributing to my AF being in remission.

Yey πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Great news! Stay away from intervention if you can. I've read your past posts and you have done so well with lifestyle changes. Long may you stay in remission!

Best wishes

Thank you. To be honest I would have surgery as opposed to long term drug treatment. Will cross that bridge when I need to! 😊

That's great news. You've been so determined and done so well. Interesting too about the HRT!

Isn’t it just! I’ve googled menopause & AF but not much out there apart from increased palpitations. I know for certain oestrogen plays a part in our cardio health! Here here HRT!

Congratulations, may it long continue. How do you void AF episodes?

Pigleywigley profile image
Pigleywigleyβ€’ in reply tosaulger

Hi I’m not 100% sure but I’m convinced, water, HRT, magnesium & exercise!

saulgerβ€’ in reply toPigleywigley

Exercise brings on my episodes...oh, well.

Pigleywigley profile image
Pigleywigleyβ€’ in reply tosaulger

Maybe other things need to be in sync first

saulger profile image
saulgerβ€’ in reply toPigleywigley

Some people are affected by the adrenaline brought on by exercise, others can terminate an episode by exercising. If I keep my HR around 100 max, I seem to be OK. But, it's not enough if you like high intensity workouts.

"4. Adrenergic AFib is when your episodes occur mostly during the day and are normally triggered by exercise, exertion, or stimulants. In this type of AFib the adrenaline hormone is the trigger. For some people with this type of AFib, exercise can trigger an episode."

So lovely to hear your good news. I think you may be the second person I've heard of this week who said HRT took them out of AF.

Hi

Great news.

I noticed a few have asked this but why do they think that HRT has helped as I would be very interested in this as well.

Be great if you could share this information.

Kindest regards
