Experiences with

Arrhythmia

I felt out of sorts and wondered if it was coincidental that I had begun the new tablet and getting arrhythmia issues. I chewed another tablet this morning and the same thing happened within 30-45 mins so think I may have an issue with them?

Whether you have attended our Arrhythmia Alliance Patients Day before or whether it's your first time, #PatientsDay2023 has something for everyone! This year's agenda will cover a range of arrhythmia topics such as SVT, ICDs, Pacemakers, Defibrillators, lifestyle changes and more!

I had an svt ablation 20 yrs ago, I thought it had been unsuccessful but it was successful but what came to light after a few days abs a holter monitor was I had a secondary arrhythmia named only as “atrial tachycardia”. I also have pvc and pac ectopics.

My question is does Bisoprolol reduce episodes of arrhythmia or does it just reduce heart rate? I have paroxysmal AF and GP has recommended increasing the dose to 5mg daily but I am reluctant as I am a runner and my resting heart rate is 45-55 BPM, sometimes lower.

I saw an arrhythmia nurse who explained the options available and since then have had 2 phone conversations with another arrhythmia nurse and seen my GP once. The all only say that perhaps I will adjust to the sotalol. What do you think?

Now I need to decide between a second ablation or a more serious anti arrhythmia drug, Tikosyn or Sotalol with 2 nights hospital monitoring. I would go for the ablation if it was the last one, but it’s not guaranteed.

The doctor in Same Day Emergency Care told me to stay on 3.75 twice a day now and this has been confirmed by my Arrhythmia nurse. I feel very reluctant to do this as most of the time I feel ok. Has anyone else had their bisoprolol dose increased by so much?

The Arrhythmia nurse I spoke to wants to put it up as my HHR today has been up to 140 for about 10 hours now and extra pills so far have not got it down. My question is does a 2.5 make you too tired and will the extra dose cause more weight gain.

The scar tissue may have reduced or a new rogue pathway developed - have been referred to arrhythmia clinic. Has anyone had a similar experience or just some encouraging words they can share please?

Will we be seeing you at this year's Arrhythmia Alliance Patients Day? Did you know that we offer an early bird discount available until 02 June?

Other members experiences of being on Flecainide - I have been put on 50mg twice a day and for the first 2-3 weeks I was OK but was in permanent Arrhythmia and low heart beats of 53-68 then last Sunday my heart beat went up to 90+ and was like that for 36 hours before going back into normal rhythm.

After 4 weeks, in agreement with the EP and my arrhythmia nurse, I stopped my 1.25 dose of bisoprolol and felt SO much better. Heart rate was quite fast but in NSR. Last Thursday AF reappeared - a brief visit and mild symptoms but most unwelcome.

Has anyone experienced this sort of “positional” arrhythmia before, or know what it is? Is it AF or just ectopics?

This week, we at Arrhythmia Alliance want to shine a light on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). If you, like us, believe that more people should know how to save someone’s life, stay tuned for this week’s posts! What exactly is an AED?

It is possible from March since I’ve had my 24h EKG ,they only found Bradycardia, that I’ve developed something else ,like Arrhythmia ? Is that possible in a few months?

The arrhythmia nurse who I saw during a visit said that this would not cause any problems. However more recently I have noticed a lot of gaps in the waves between heartbeats when I take my heart rate and can feel them when I hold my wrist.

You can expect a jam-packed agenda, with a wide range of topics such as SVT, ICDs, Pacemakers, Defibrillators, lifestyle changes and more! Patients Day 2023 will take place at the Hyatt Hotel, Birmingham, UK on Sunday 8th October. Our annual event is a fantastic opportunity for patients and caregivers

I’ve contacted the arrhythmia nurses and sent an ECG taken at the doctors and they conclude I need an urgent cardio version, cardiologist thinks I’m in “block”. Stupidly I didn’t ask what block was. Anybody had this please?

. 😂 I have sent an email to o my arrhythmia nurse and await her advice but as I am unable to have any more ablations and as the rate is so low (60’s /70’s) I think I know the answer will be to just get on with life and that is exactly what I intend to do.
