AFIB and Levothyroxine (thyroid) dose.
Just a question for those of you that are hypothyroid and AFIB: Is your dose of thyroid medication less because you have AFIB, currently or in the past? Appreciate your input! Thanks!

Does a heart still remodel if medications stop AF completely?
I read a response to a recent post today where a member with recently diagnosed AF was tossing up whether they should continue with meds or get an ablation. The response was yes, you should get an ablation, if you don't you will run the risk that your heart will remodel and the success rate for ablation

Advice Required
Sorry this is long So I've had a rough summer. Initially really tired in evenings, rang the GP...was told at 46 I'm probably menopausal and what do I expect. A week later my leg swole. I went in said I thought cellulitis, different GP thought more likely clot so scans and anti clot stuff and a basic

New to Afib- tiredness
Diagnosed a little over a week ago with Afib. On Diltazem and Eloquis. I am 58 years old and always been healthy until now. They have given me Flecainide to start taking daily if I have another episode. My question is about being so tired all the time. I sleep a lot but have to work full time.

Dentist and antibiotics?

My haematology team recommend antibiotics after any major work, and for the dentist/hygienist not to use too much pressure. The

low T4 and T3 normal TSH
I posted earlier in the year about my daughter diagnosed with post partum thyroiditis , no treatment at the time but endocrinologist said he’d keep an eye on her! Her most recent results seem odd to me in that both T4 and T3 are very low but her TSH is also low - her case has been closed and results

my husband is currently waiting for an appointment with the arrhythmia clinic after suffering a stroke 3 months ago . As I’ve mentioned before he had an ablation in 2017 which had obviously stopped working at some point . Just curious as to whether anyone else s heart rate varies so much . He can go

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

Lisinopril, A-Fib enlarged left atrium,
I was taking Diltiazem 60 mg 12HR ER Cap 2 times a day for A-fib and hypertension. I stopped it as doctor recommended when I had to take Paxlovid for Covid. I didn't get A-fib when I didn't go back to taking the Diltiazem and have been off of it for more than 2 months. I'm thinking of taking Lisinopril

Amiodarone
I had Cardioversion on 30th August. Heart went into sinus rhythm after third attempt but unfortunately slipped back into AF after just one day. I had a call from cardiac nurse this afternoon telling me the plan is to put me onto Amiodarone and then try another Cardioversion. I understand that the Amiodarone

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

rogue beats
I had a catheter ablation on Wednesday. Up till now, I was not really getting many problems with my heart, but since early this morning, I’ve had quite a lot of episodes of missing heartbeats, some go on longer than others and it feels like my heart is going to stop. The beat is not the same as the
