cardio version?

[Suesouth]

I ended up in A&E on Saturday morning, AF kicked in Friday evening, nothing would stop it, not even flecainide PIP. Yesterday, (Sunday) given 200mg flecainide intravenously, came down a bit, not sure if it’s enough, possible cardio version this morning! So now it’s a waiting game!

Thinking of you Suesouth and hoping all goes well.

[Suesouth in reply to sassy59]

thank you, it’s early here yet, so probably got to wait a few hours to see what they decide!

I hope they give you the cardioversion today Sue and it makes you instantly better. They always work well for me. If they do, make sure you don't go doing anything too energetic for a week or so afterward, because until your heart gains strength beating correctly again it's so easy to slip back into AF.

Let us know how you get on please.

Hoping it stops before you need the cardioversion . Being kept in hospital is my ever present fear. Good luck x

Cardioversion worked every time for me when I had similar lack of success with PIP.

I hope they can help you soon.

Good luck....not for the procedure, youll be fine, but for a positive outcome and stress free house move! 🤞

[Suesouth in reply to Fullofheart]

Had a cardioversion yesterday at Mercy General in Sacramento. Very easy, didn't even feel it, seems to work extremely well but time will tell. In my opinion not something to be dreaded at all, but you know I did anyway. Very easy experience, make sure you have someone to help you out though, drugs are potent, at least the ones they gave me. Wishing you a great result, which is most of the time I understand!

[Suesouth in reply to Hydroplane]

absolutely nothing to worry about, felt good afterwards, hope it lasts for some time!

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Sounds like your at a good hospital, they had me waiting over 3 months in debilitating af, what area are you in

[Suesouth in reply to Nugger]

I’m in Devon, at Royal Devon and Exeter hospital, been out of theatre about an hour now and feel great, hopefully home later!

That’s brilliant news Sue. X

Oh, I can relate! I hope by the time you read this you'll be back in NSR. I know it's scary, but you're in good hands. Best wishes for a quick turn-around.

[Suesouth in reply to Snowgirl65]

thank you-All good at the moment!

Yes, as jean said, cardioversion makes you feel better instantly. Wishing you all the best.
