Thanks for your earlier support for my 1st ablation. But now more questions.
I had my catheter ablation for Afib Dec. 30th. I went in with NSR, succesful ablation according to my Surgeon, and woke up in NSR. Yay!! Not so fast. In just 2 days I was walking around and doing light work, Yay! But here's the thing, on Jan. 7 at 6pm I went into Afib and it has continued even

Help! New Symptoms after recent cardioversion.
Hi! Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me! I began AFib in 2020. I have had four cardioversions the last one was last Thursday. I was taken to A and E when I went into fast AFib with a heart rate between 160-180. Last summer I was also diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy… Bristol

Confused on meds/ablation….again!
Hi all Brief recap- successful ablation June 21 but have replaced with ectopics. Having stopped alcohol and cigarettes , both were minimal, my EP suggested stopping flecinaide and to have the holter to see what was happening. I did and the result was runs of paroxysmal atrial tachycardia and one

is it normal not to see a cardiologist with AF?
Sorry, folks, I keep coming back with more questions! 8 weeks ago I ended up in A&E with a self limiting episode of AF. I think it lasted about 45 mins. It was the weekend and I saw the A&E docotor and the on call consultant from the medical side (who wasn’t a cardiologist). I was started on Bisoprolol

Procedure for Morbidly Obese with AFIB
I’ve had AFIB for about 6 years now and am morbidly obese. Up until I got Covid a year ago, I was very well controlled on propafenone plus Bystolic. I can always tell when I go into or out of AFIB and have an app on my phone that confirms this. A couple of months ago I had the worse constant attack

Should I take aspirin 300 mgs at home if I think I may be having a stroke despite being on an anticoagulant for atrial fibrillation?
The chances of getting an NHS CT head scan quickly enough to decide whether it’s safe to give clot busting drugs aren’t so good at the moment. I think a cerebral embolus may still be more likely than a cerebral haemorrhage, so aspirin seems logical. Maybe I’ll ask my GP ….. I should say I’m not having

Back again!...Cirrhosis, DVT and those s**t days! I need to speak to my 'Liver Doctor' who has failed to make my last 2 previous calls.😶
Hey fellow liver sufferers and carers. I hope life is manageable for you all! Basically I have Cirrhosis that decompensated liver nearly 2 years ago. Symptoms were jaundice, ascites ,sarcopenia, HE but got through this near death experience. I am now compensated. I went to the Royal Free last year

useful video from ‘my hero’ on atrial fibrillation and the different treatment methods used and when (including surgery)
an interview with steven hunter, cardio thoracic surgeon . I am now 8 months post surgery and still in NSR, hoping to follow in the shoes of the other once persistent mr Hunter patients on here who have been afib free for a long time. I wanted to share for those in persistent who don’t want to manage

GOING FORWARD
Yesterday I met with my EP for my two week follow up. The follow up is for my failed cardioversion. They tried three times to Shockett with no NSR. Yesterday was to be about what’s next. My body responds to things usually but does not stay for very long. I had a typical flutter up until two weeks ago

Dare I state that a homeopathic medicine stopped my AFib attacks!!!
How can a simple homeopathic medicine stop my AFib attacks that were getting more severe and much more prolonged prompting admissions to a+e, despite taking conventional medication to treat it? I myself cannot answer this question. In all honesty I don't think anyone on this site could answer it neither

Cardio training with Afib
I was diagnosed by a cardiologist with lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation three years ago. My condition stabilized after being prescribed Flecainide, Apixaban and Rosuvastatin (the latter as a preventative to lower cholesterol). For the past two years I have been able to resume training in my single

Propranalol or Bisoprolol
I had Afib for the first time at the beginning of December …and was put on Apixaban. I will be having an echocardiogram scan in due course. In A&E the doctor told me to continue with my BP meds of Indapamide 2.5mg and Propranolol. I had an assessment two days later and another ECG …by then

What tests/treatment
Hi everyone. A new Year and a new member in UK Diagnosed with A Fib just before Christmas after my FitBit started sending me notifications at end of October. Had 24 hr ECG and condition is persistent. Under care of my GP but not on medication as considering blood thinners suggested by GP I am considering

body heat and buprenorphine
Hi, I have been using Buprenorphine patches for 4 weeks and was wondering whether body heat releases more opioids into the system. When I’m really warm I feel spacey and drowsy. Has anyone else experienced this?

Happy 2023, bravehearts! A question on vagus nerve involvement....
I know there's massive hype out there about the vagus nerve and the treatment of any number of ills through vagus stimulation and care. Nevertheless........Was wondering if anyone's had any success with one of those wearable devices for VNS and if, at this very early stage of AFib - diagnosed as Paroxysmal

Father not waking up after septic shock
My beloved Dad (72) survived a severe septic shock. They called us 3 Weeks ago after a routine bile surgery and told us that he is now in the ICU. They told us he had internal bleeding and they needed to perform surgery on him. We were shocked and prayed that night that everything would go well. He survived

Gp intervention
I have my AFib under control after being prescribed my meds by my heart consultant. I take Flecainide, Apixaban, & Propranolol which controls my a fib. However, I have just realised that my Gp has halved my propranolol dose without consultation! ( from 80 mg to 40 mg) I am due to have a medical review

Happy New Year - Afib and Covid 2023
Hi all. I know we've all heard enough about having afib and covid. I have to give my take on it though. I've never felt so happy - so here's a positive post about the whole thing of the two together. I've avoided the bullet so far. Tested positive this morning for covid. 5 days of self-isolation with

Dilated left atrium and appendage. CT full results.
I asked for my full CT angiogram report so I can show it to Dr Hunter before my consultation about mini maze. And unbeknownst to be it showed mild mitral valve prolapse and dilated left atrium and appendage. As well as coronary disease. I feel like I can’t get a win ! Another punch to the face so
