It’s been a while since I last posted either a question or comment

In short I have had a good run of fairly regular heart beat after having had an undiscovered congenital heart problem anomalous venous drainage ,only diagnosed at 62 after 3 dc conversions and two ablations ,repaired after open heart surgery

This defect was was the major cause of my persistent A/F since then I have only had bouts of ectopic heart beats and palpitations and still suffer from anxiety when they occur

During these times of Covid 19 I expect everyone is worrying about hospital visits for check ups and alike which are no doubt in many cases being put off or put back to some unknown future date

My current issue (I get there eventually) is that I have had a raging toothache for some and I cannot find a dentist open anywhere other than emergency hospitals in central London

I have taken antibiotics consulted my GP by telephone and tried most things - whether it is related I have now started having frequent bouts of AF

Now anxiety is also a factor which doesn’t help and also I don’t want to visit a central London hospital in the current times when they are so busy saving lives with toothache not to mention risking getting infected myself

Any good dentists out there with any suggestions

Keep safe stay well

So if you have an infection in your tooth, any infection you have can trigger AF, so maybe a possible cause, so I would think you definitely need that tooth looking at. Maybe you need to ring your GP again for another course of antibiotics because if you have infection you need it treating because of your cardiac conditions. 🙂🙂
