Stroke risk overstated for healthy people with AFib?
I am not on an anti-coagulant, and was trying to find out what the actual risk of stroke is. There's another afib forum called afibbers.org whose leaders don't believe that otherwise healthy afibbers need anti-coagulants, and that the 5X stroke risk that is cited really only applies to older people

My first cardioversion. Couple of questions. Thanks.
Oct 10 having a cardioversion for Atrial Flutter. Its been bothering me for about 2 years. Fairly well controlled with • DilTIAZem (Eqv-Tiazac) 180 mg/24 hours oral capsule, extended release but still feel extremely fatigued sometimes so I am finally going to take the cardiologists recommendation.

A tale of caution.
My FIL, whom also has AFIB, was recently switched from warfarin to xeralto. He did not tolerate it well, so while waiting for a Dr. appt to find something easier, he decided...without informing anyone, to reduce the dosage by half. Bad idea. He suffered an ocular stroke and has lost the sight in his

Erythema Migrans

Cardioversion
My consultant is recommending cardioversion as the next step in my AF treatment, primarily in order that I can stop taking bisoprolol as this appears to be impacting on my asthma. Has anyone experience of this procedure, success rates, issues with it etc?

Lyme disease anybody?
Has anybody been diagnosed with Lyme disease and if so how did that affect their afb? I have had 7!!! tick bites this summer but only the one on my back was attatched for any time given how miniscule the others were. Two months later a pink rash appeared at the bite site. This is unusual as the rash

Ablation in March, discharged in August
I am very appreciative of the support provided by this forum. I appear to be one of the lucky ones in that I had my ablation back in March at Bournemouth Hospital and it went well with a quick recovery. I have had no Afib episodes since, I was put on a 7 day monitor back in June which showed nothing

Just diagnosed AFib
Hi, I am reaching out to you because I was just diagnosed with A Fib as well as an irregular heart beat and prescribed Apixaban (and Metroprolol to use if my heart goes out of control -it has a couple of times). Can anyone tell me if I should have any concerns about Apixaban. What I can expect.

Flecainide - Timings?
I’m on 100mg of Flecainide, 50mg twice a day, no beta blockers. My afib is of a paroxysmal nature and each episode lasts usually no more than an hour or so, sometimes minutes. It is however very intense and uncomfortable! I can usually self terminate by exercise or various vagal manoeuvres. I have
