I’m in atrial fibrillation and have been for a year. I’ve had some cardio versions and I started another Fred talking about how to get out of cardio for age of vibration. This post is about weight loss and has anybody taken weight loss drugs and had atrial fibrillation or and been taken the following medication Flecainide , buscoprol, rivaoxabsn. I’m new to this forum . , I've lost weight, about six stone, but I still need to lose another hundred pounds, and I'm stuck for months and now in af it’s harder to exercise and easier to eat!. I can get Wegovy but the doctor says I may need to wait until heart sorted but he has been saying this for a year and he's is noncommittal whether it is dangerous to take it . He mentioned waiting until my heart clears up, but I don't think that's going to happen and weight loss is key. I lost 6 stone about 100lbs but stuck and need to lose another 6 stone so wegovtly may help and it may help bring lighter my heart conditions . Does anyone have experience with managing atrial fibrillation and taking medications like flecainide while taking wegovy . Thanks

Cannot answer your question as yet but I have been referred to weight management myself as weightloss like you said is critical. I need to lose about 4 stones and it just isn't happening. Just to say though that both my Cardio and EP actually recommended me going onto wegovy (semaglutide). I'm also on flecanaide and other medication for AF. Although I suspect our heart issues are different so maybe that is why your cardio is erring on the safer side. To be honest they are the experts so I would go with whatever they suggest.
We are all very different and our bodies react very differently 🙂
