Hi Everyone,
Still fresh with the diagnosis but a lot more educated on it now and aware of the different forms of treatment. Also got my echo booked in and appointment with the consultant in the next 6 weeks which is good. 2.5mg bisoporlol seems to be working okay. No side effects that I’m aware of. Having AF makes so much sense as to why some times I’m so tired and lose my breath so easy. My bad cough that I’ve had for nearly ten weeks seems to be clearing up and been for a chest x ray so will see if that’s connected to the issues with my heart. Hard to know what the future may hold until I’ve seen a consultant. But just worrying as I feel I’m only young and every time I take my heart rate on a monitor now it seems to be all over the show with the rhythm. I’ve had a mitral valve repair twenty years ago and when I got my heart checked three years ago, there was no af discovered but the repair seemed to be a bit worn resulting in leakage but nothing to worry about they said. That echo was only done as I needed it doing for life insurance purposes not because they was keeping an eye on me. I know it’s a manageable condition. But I work for myself as a window cleaner and being in my early thirties I’m thinking my condition change things in the future for my business. I will be more in the know once I’ve seen the consultant.
AF rears it’s ugly head again
Af and ejection fraction 42%
Is it AF or just ectopics
