First FDA-approved faecal microbiota pill for preventing recurrent C Difficile infection
As a few members of this group have testified, clostridium (C) difficile infection is an unpleasant experience. As the name suggests, the infection can be difficult to eliminate from the body even in the immune competent. In the immune-compromised, the difficulty is magnified and the risk of sepsis

Hypotension
After several years with reduced afib after a relatively successful ablation, I have now developed some sort of hypotension which sees me landing flat on the floor on numerous occasions. Fortunately I slump quite gracefully so no further damage yet! I thought I had it under control........ getting up

conversion pause
Has anyone experienced a conversion pause when coming out of AF- like a brief second or two of syncope with a visual disturbance & a strange quite frightening feeling This has started after having to come of Flecainide as it was causing other arrhythmias.

AF Blood Pressure

when to take tablets
I have had my thyroid problem since 1992 and when I was just taking my thyroxine , when to take it was not a problem. Now I have atrial fibrillation and have to take 1/2 tablet of Apocard with a blood thinner 12 hours apart with food. I also have to take a beta blocker with food but not with the Apocard

Return to AFIB after 4 years
Had 2 cardioversions and 2 ablations four years ago. The second ablation had everything working great for the last four years. Have to take a lot of HBP medication, but all was manageable until about a month ago when AFIB reared its ugly head again. Got scheduled for and had another cardioversion.

ECG help
Hi all, First time posting in this forum I have posted in the main BHF a few times. I'm currently waiting for an AF Ablation and recently had my preoperative assessment for it. The nurse kindly gave me a copy of my ECG and naturally I took to googling to try understand it ofcourse getting nowhere 😂

Clinical Physiologist
Please can any of you explain to me what exactly is a Clinical Physiologist ? I usually see my cardiologist once a year, along with a routine echocardiogram and ecg. This year, I saw my GP because I have been getting a lot of palpitations which Kardia diagnose as PVCs and SVEs ) He said he would contact

A Good Day's Night
AFib status: Permanent for at least the past two years. 75 years old. Medication: Apixaban, 5mg Bisoprolol, Amlodipine, 5mg Ramipril, Atorvastatin. No offers by my doctor of a cardioversion or an ablation. I have been fairly stable on those meds since it was confirmed that I had Permanent Afib.

Red blood cells
My red blood cell count increased from 133 in September 2022 to 151 in March 2023. The haemocrit count went up from 4.43 to 4.96, both outside the normal range. These were both marked with an asterisk on my blood test sheet but that was all. I went into persistent afib in August 2022. I am worried

Do I need to be concerned? UPDATE!
Hi fellow AFibbers. Further to my post below; Firstly, may I take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who have kindly taken the time to reply with support and advice. Too many to thank you or reply to you all individually! So, as wisely advised by many of you, I took myself to A

Feels worse than Ectopics
7 years of this feeling, think of rolling you tongue irregulrly heart feeling, my heart at times does that but, then feels like an engine trying to start Bing Bing bang and hate them so much. Just be relaxed talking and it happens, lay down feels like not enough blood is being pumped and heart struggles

RLS & BURPRENORPHINE
Hello everyone, I had been on Oxy for the past couple of years for pain. Recently I switched pain doctors and he switched the Oxy to Buprenorphine 8mg (film). The Buprenorphine, like a miracle, stopped my RLS immediately and it also controlled my pain so much better than the Oxy. In the past couple

Persistent Afib - next stop Amiodorone
Following a short-lived success with cardioversion, my EP has prescribed Amiodarone 200mg daily. So not a massive dose. The waiting list for ablation is long, so this is a stop gap. And a lot of the drugs prescribed for paroxysmal AF are not much help for persistent AF - at least not as an antiarythmic

Stopping Firmagon if castration resistant
The cocktail of painkillers plus Radium 223 is making me very tired at the moment. This may seem like a daft question but what is the position with continuing or stopping Firmagon when you're castration resistant? Is its purpose to control the spread of testosterone that would otherwise make the cancer
