Waiting For Ablation
6 weeks ago I had a successful cardioversion but sadly it lasted just 20 days before I went back into AF. Yesterday I had a follow up appointment at the hospital where they said that the results of my echo cardiogram had come back normal but that they felt that the best option for me, based on my age

Stopping blood thinner for surgery
Hi All, In late July I had either a TIA or a migraine, the doctors are divided on what it was. In the course of the scans and tests, they found an aneurysm plus an "area of concern" in my brain. I'm scheduled for surgery on Oct. 25. I'm supposed to add another antiplatelet (in addition to the aspirin

Sticky blood! A thing or not?
Many years ago my blood tests often had to be repeated at the pathology lab because the first and second samples had set solid in transit before testing. I was told it was because I had sticky blood. Last week I saw a cardiologist who initially wanted me to take blood thinners, but as I only scored 1

AV Node Ablation Good News
After having 9 cardio versions (shock treatment) in the past two years and at the age of 77, I decided to go for quality of life and forego all the drugs that I have taken over the past few years. I tried two ablations and a few drug protocols of which none worked. After all of that and the worry of

Herb-Drug Interaction with Acalabrutinib and Boswellia Serrata
Looking for information to see if there is a herb-drug interaction between Acalabrutinib and Boswellia. Boswellia is an herb that is good for joint pain and has anti-inflammatory effects. I have previously read that people on blood thinners should not take the herb. Would this herb affect the efficacy

Bring on more sh*t
Well as if the year hasn't been shit enough. I went into AF on Friday night and now on Digoxin and Eliquis blood thinners. This just tops my shitty year off.......I hope these 2 drugs don't make the RLS and nerve damage worse. The universe has really given me a kick in the teeth this year, with spinal

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) kills more than 20.5 million people every year across the world
Did you know atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder and leading cause of stroke? Over 1.5 million people in the UK are diagnosed with AF and yet approx. a further 500,000 yet to be diagnosed. A simple pulse check can DETECT AF. Anticoagulation therapy can PROTECT against

Post Echo scan and consultant follow up
Hi all Ive recently been moved to 'severe' stenosis with severe regurgitation with my BAV. I went to see the cardiologist today and he said its likely I would have the operation in the next 2 years. Its kind of taken me back as im pretty much a symptomatic and thought i might still have years before

Asthma without infection
Brief history. Moved north to West Yorkshire in 1974 (aged 29). Started with beathing difficulties. Had allergy tests and a course of desensitisation injections, which worked, but whenever I caught a cold, it morphed into a sore throat and chest infection leading to gasping for breath. Major attack

Alive, with thanks: update on nightmare
Thank you to everyone for replies. I'm still wading through them but trying to avoid spending time on the computer. I survived the weekend. Saturday night was so bad that the only thing that stopped me from ringing 999 overnight was the fear that I would be told there were no ambulances available. I

Feel dreadful after AFib episode
Afew months ago I posted about the way I feel after ab AFib episodes and received many answers which were helpful but am unable to find them now.

A cautionary tale
Although I have absolutely no desire to deter anybody and my procedure does seem to have worked, I wanted to emphasise that you must be absolutely certain that you have taken your

up to date and be aware that there is a risk, and you would be wise to have the procedure done somewhere

Going off Eliquis
I had persistent AFIB for many years until I had an ablation procedure in 2022. It was successful and I have not had an AFIB episode in over a year. I check my sinus rhythm every day with my Kardia Mobile device and I am on 100Mg Flecainide per day. I am a 72-year-old man and very physically fit. Because
