Hi all I’m new to the site, I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation in 2010 and was recently diagnosed with Angina and high cholesterol in July 2017.

Hello jollyjue and welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear of your issues, though I'm sure you'll find some very helpful people here. Have you been prescribed treatment for your angina and cholesterol? I am assuming you already have for the atrial fibrillation.

There are a lot of us on statins, some good some average some bad, there are alternatives should you suffer from side effects. Probably given GTN spray for the angina, please don't be afraid to use it if so.

Take care Mark

Hello Mark, yes I’ve got the GTN spray also Amlodipine, Aspirin and Atorvastatin, I am on Flecainide Acetate for the Atrial fibrillation. It’s nice to know I have someone to speak to about it and am looking forward to hearing other members stories.

Hiya and welcome.

I am on Bisoprsol for the AF. I realised how well they calm it down just recently.

I had eather a flu virus or food poisoning. I couldn't take, well keep tgem down I mean. Most of my meds for about six days I think. AF got a bit nuts there again.

But after taking Bisoprsol again, it settled after a couple of days.

It is goid you are now on the radar. So feel safe in the knowledge the medical team will be looking after you.

Hugs, Jo 😊
