Nice attack this morning, in A-Fib for around 1hr 3/4 to 2 hrs

Floating between 150 and 173 on Kardia - My Wellue picked up the whole event which shows my max went to 188 BPM

Rode out at home as usual, was tempted to hit the panic button but stood my ground and I self converted from 154 to 93 at a snap of a finger

My local EP gave the green light for my GP to prescribe be Propafenone 150mg 3 times per day, haven't got the tabs yet, admin going through the surgery.

I think this attack have been brewing for some time as pre today I've been knocking out over 2000 PACs per 24 hrs so this was on the cards

Hopefully in 2023 I'll have a 2nd ablation but wanted to see how I get on with Propafenone first. I was on that drug from 1999 to 2008 and it stopped working. Hoping my body will fall in love with the ex again.

This is where I self converted, on the bottom line, looks like an ectopic beat saved the day, great view

Here is the onset of the AF, top line, PAC, even on the page before this one they were coming in multi pairs and then boom

I have the same Wellue output from my monitor, brilliant device.

I am getting 2000 odd Pacs while sleeping most nights but only short bouts of Afib that seem to resolve while sleeping. I exercise just before bed, getting my heart rate up to 115bpm.

Have you made any lifestyle/exercise changes to try and address the PAC's and PVC's?

I am keen to try to reduce them.

The only change I haven't made yet is to stop breathing if I'm honest Oz

your case is similar to the other post. Propafenone is a rhythm control trying to suppress episodes of Afib. What you need also and asap is medication to control the high heart rate , which I guess you already got it. Probably your ep needs to adjust the dosage or give you permission to take an extra pill as pill in the pocket. The watch computes the heart rate as AVERAGE over a period of 30 seconds. The recording you posted showed closed to 300 bpm , such rate is dangerous and not compatible with life if it lasts more than 30’seconds or a minute. Your rate control medication is more critical than rhythm control and both are critical at the same time. Hope it helps.

The rate was 188 BPM for that strip, still high though
