Experiences with

Arrhythmia

The Team at Arrhythmia Alliance would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I phoned the arrhythmia nurse team who said some swelling could be expected and that the vein down my leg could be bruised too, but to be alert for shooting pains in my leg or discolouring etc. I don’t have that, just this awful feeling of my thigh being twisted/tightened.

I had an appt at the rapid access chest pain clinic a couple of months ago, whilst there I had an episode of my 'funny heart beats'. The Nurse palpated my pulse and said it was AF, they couldn't refer to the other clinic so I had to go back to the GP to get the referral. I now have an appt in April

Also spoke to an arrhythmia nurse who said it couldn’t be the bisoprolol because that only affects people with Asthma. They said it definitely wasn’t AF as I had never been breathless before. Upped my bisop to 10 mg/12.5 if needed.

hello again everyone who helped me recently with my worries and fears about my upcoming ablation. You helped me such a lot, so much so that i arrived in the cath lab almost calm the day before yesterday. however! since the ablation which i was told only lasted an hour and all went well, I went into

The hospital consultant prescribed amiodarone because of arrhythmia/ AF. There is a warning on the box to protect your skin from sunlight because it can cause severe sunburn affect and blistering. also I read that the drug can cause severe side effects.

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?

good evening, I have written and in the past I have not received answers, so I have been taking b blockers for four years now, I have taken bisoprolol nebivolol and now atenolol once in the smallest dose, now the problem I am with these pills is a feeling of palpitations from fear, the heart is well

He diagnosed unstable angina and extrasystolic arrhythmia. Put me on clopidogrel which was later stopped and prescribed diltiazem and doubled my statin even though my cholesterol is low.

My EP only put me on a miniscule dosage of sotalol as I was doing it out of hospital and couldn't be directly monitored (40mg twice a day). I feel 1000 times better, no kidding, since starting the sotalol even at this low dose. No more daily PVCs, no more extreme fatigue. After checking my QTC to

[/i] Those with a risk of cardiotoxicity could consider a time-limited treatment to reduce the possibility of long-term toxicities (Bhat et al reported a median time to ventricular arrhythmia (VA) of more than 1 year).

hello to everyone from New Mexico, US. I am finding out more about heart issues here on this forum than from my EP and cardiologist combined! Thank you all. I am 69 and had one of the first open heart surgeries done in CA. ( for an ASD) There is still a small leak but mostly corrected. I started

I have taken these for a month without problem. I am in Persistent AF, well controlled symptom free, now about / hours after taking alpha blocker I get fluttery feeling, palpitations and a feeling of dread , I am agitated and feel awful, B/P and heart rate goes up but not dramatically, I am afraid to

The rates of total control of the arrhythmia were: 96.6 percent in 30 patients with recurrent atrial flutter or fibrillation, 96.6 percent in 59 patients with repetitive supraventricular tachycardia, 100 percent in 27 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and 77.2 percent in 44 patients with recurrent

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) often leading to an AF-related stroke. Do you know the truth from the myths about AF?

[/i] The sighs (air-hunger) , vertical nail-splits and bleeding, mood swings, desire for solitude, tinnitus, hair loss, burning feet, arrhythmia, muscle weakness - these are not mentioned at all in symptoms lists.

Hey AF team Been a while since I posted anything. Quick update all going AF well. AF free for 8 months. Did the same last year. Seem to get a few months of lots of AF converted by PIP (300 mg of flec). Surgical ablation (surgical because of atrial occluder) is still on hold until I press go. Feeling

Basically episodes have been very long 12 up to 36 hours and every couple of days lately. Phoned 111 today for advice and they told me to get to A and E. So got the wife to drive me through to ninewells in Dundee.(our nearest 40 mins in morning rush hour ) Got ECG rate was down to 110 from 158. Doctor

I am in UK and have had paroxysmal AF for a few years and was prescribed Flecainide and Bisoprolol but also had a Pacemaker fitted in July 2020 because of a low resting heart rate (normally 50 but loop recorder showed some drop to mid 30s overnight). Any periods of AF I’ve had up to now have been 5/

If that is what bisoprolol is doing to me there’s no way I’m staying on it if every other function is fine (BP under control with Losartan and no arrhythmia). Interested to hear from others who have dropped the beta blocker, I know from previous involvement in the forum that some have.
