Hello all, I've been persistent since October and on the waiting list for an Ablation. Medication tweaked and now on Atenolol and Digoxin since mid December which is controlling HR, resting normally around 80 bpm. For the past couple of months I've been suffering regular bouts of pins and needles along whole right arm. I'd say the bouts are becoming more regular, around a dozen if not more events a day that come and go after a few minutes, they are quite intense!
Has anyone any experience of this? Is it a side effect if Medication, a symptom of Afib or something else that I should be worried about?
Thank you.

we can’t diagnose here, but I can say that I had something similar back in my thirties which was sorted out by an osteopath. When I get similar now I see a physio.
So it could just be a compression on your upper spine. Or indeed something else!
thank you for the reply. Around 18 months ago I saw a chiropractor for a trapped nerve in my right shoulder. That appeared to fully heal as in fully mobile to swing a golf club. This pins and needles feels different and I'm hoping its not Afib related and more like a medication side effect
