Well my last AF attack was end of October 2018 šŸ¤žšŸ¼and my medication was changed yet again, and seems to be working apart from having no energy at all , my cardiologist has referred me for a cardiac ablation but she was hoping the new medication would work and wouldnā€™t have to have the ablation, Iā€™m seeing another cardiologist next month so who knows

Did you have no energy before taking medication? If not then its meds, change to something else there are alternatives

Hi Cazza. My HF nurse spent 6 months tweaking my meds to what is best for my heart, but that doesn't mean there aren't side effects. As Pippa says, there are usually alternatives, so you should ask the cardiologist next month, or a nurse if you have one. Not your GP - they rely on what the cardios tell them.

Not what you're looking for?
