Af. Concerns

[Fifimyangel]

Feeling abnormal heartbeats. This evening my usual hb started to change and felt completely irregular. Anyone else had this happen?

[Hidden]

Maybe medication? I'm.learning so much since my HA 12 weeks ago. Maybe worth a wee chat with your gp or cardio rehab nurse?

I'm taking bisoprolol for tachycardia and also have pacemaker. But now out of the blue my heart was completely irregular. Scary stuff.

[bantam12 in reply to Fifimyangel]

I'm also on Bispoprolol and have a pacemaker, I still get ectopics, SVT and recently back to having what feel like pauses. Maybe ask for a pacing check to see if anything shows up.

[Fifimyangel in reply to bantam12]

Thankyou. Yes I'm going to phone pacing clinic tomorrow and my gp. My pacemaker is 9 hrs old I'm wondering if its running down or maybe the leads have fractured. Something I read about.

[cowparsley in reply to Fifimyangel]

Had my pacemaker replaced after 8 years so possibly you might need a new one.

[cowparsley in reply to Fifimyangel]

Exactly the same happened to me,gp got me an appointment at the pacing clinic and of course all the irregularities were recorded.Now waiting to hear from consultant or gp.Do so hope no increase in Bisoprol is recommended.I`m alreaddy like the walking dead!Was informed by letter there was an 18 week waiting list but a week later I was given a cancellation.Hope you and bantam12 are as fortunate.Good luck.

[cowparsley in reply to Fifimyangel]

The most important thing is to try not to worry, I know its difficult I've been there many times, deep breathing and some fresh cool air, there are professionals on standby who will rush to your aid should you need it , try to relax, I know anxiety is absolutely awful. I've just got rid of an eight hr headache caused by a new angina drug so I'm feeling a bit puddled at the moment, take care and call your GP when you are able to

Yes, I had it about 4 months after H/A it was very scary. I think the anxiety made it worse. I got checked out by ambulance and the hospital. All was ok. They said ectopic heartbeat. I’m sure I made it worse myself but I was unaware of that at the time. We are very tuned in to our heartbeat after an event. Thank goodness for this site because we can share our feelings. Good health and keep safe

[Fifimyangel in reply to Fynndog]

Thankyou for your reply. Yes I'm glad I found this site it really does help. Take care

[Barnessy61]

Yes I have and my consultant has upped my BISOPROLOL as I was only on 1.25, now on 2.50, but still having flutters, not the full palpitations but still not nice. I also get pain and bad palpitations every other night, was using a spray for that but now have tablets to take, I'm yet to try those. You should see your doc if your getting that.

[Fifimyangel in reply to Barnessy61]
