My last update was after cardioversion 2 weeks ago then back in AFib after 18 hours and my physician diagnosing permanent AF last Friday, no more interventions other than meds. No more flec, doubling up on apixaban and bilocor. Et voila, I went back into NSR on Saturday! Now am experiencing low BP & RHR, with occasional dizzy spells. Have emailed him this morning asking to check my dose as I am not in AF and for a pip. Then I saw the post from France and your replies. It has helped me no end now I know what to ask for (flec tab not capsule). Thank you so much!

Have they not considered a pacemaker for you ? I had similar and could not take Apixaban as I was allergic to it with red rashes and severe itching … I was suffering with AFIB at any particular time of day, but at night my heart rate would drop to 32 and would have a job to start , I was also passing out a lot , They offered me a pacemaker and since that time my health is brilliant , no more issues and a sy day heart rate of 65 bpm. I am 72 and have been laying block paving and laying drains, with no problems .
