Alcohol Abstinence in Drinkers with Atrial Fibrillation
Over time, alcohol use and its effect on Afib has been a point of discussion on this forum. Below is a link to a 2020 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine which addresses this topic. The conclusions are fairly clear: CONCLUSIONS Abstinence from alcohol reduced arrhythmia recurrences

Multaq

What rights do I have re treatment for AFib.
Not sure that rights is the word I am looking for.The phone call from the Arythmia nurse I was dreading was postponed and scheduled for next Tues.I have decided that maybe ablation might be too big a step as I do not have any crisis episodes.In persistent AF.However my quality of life in regards to fitness

Flying with afib
Has anyone in the group travelled abroad since being diagnosed with afib? I asked my EP and he said make sure you know where the hospital is (comforting)! Then I asked what to do if I had an episode on the flight, he said "Sit it out", scary as my heart rate goes stupidly fast when I take an attack.

Post Ablation Dyspnea (Shortness of Breath) and Skipping Beats
Hey All! My quick resume follows; Diagnosed in June 2020 with Afib. Had some but relatively mild symptoms. I was on metoprolol and propafenon for over a year. At one follow up visit, a doctor decided to cut the medication and I was medication free for a year. Then during another 6-month follow up

AF for 3rd time in 26 months
Had to go to A&E on Sunday, referred by 111 as I went into AF and was exhausted and breathless. After a very long wait, the doctor told me that he had spoken to the cardiologist and I have a heart defect and another cardioversion would not work. This was despite the cardiologist telling me in April that

Rituximab and tetanus (etc.)
This is to all my fellow immune suppressed folks about rituximab. I've been unable to find solid information, and my consultants aren't sure, so wondered if anyone here knows. Does rituximab impact our tetanus jabs and similar? I was up to date on all my boosters, but got bit by a tick on Saturday (think

What's the point of taking Flecainide if it gives you flutter?
I'm wondering whether to consider packing in Flecainide as all its seems to have done is replace Afib with atrial flutter and the initial benefits appear to be waining, especially now that I'm supposed to take Bisoprolol too. Has anyone else decided to live with Afib on no drugs (other than anticoagulants

Atypical flutter ablation
My background is 3 years post stroke (probably caused by heart rhythms); 12 weeks at around 120 beats per minute and running; listed for ablation, to be undertaken at Birmingham. Letters between various consultants have now gleamed that they think its atrial flutter; that I will undergo a 'atypical flutter

Bisoprolol zombie
After initial amazing success with Flecainide controlling my Afib, which gave me my energy back for work, social and family life, I'm now in Flecainide induced flutter which is still better than Afib. However, I'm now on a very low dose of Bisoprolol (1.25mg) to prevent the risk of ventricular arrhythmia

Have a great weekend
So many positive, caring and kind people on here have supported and comforted me over the last few months since my AFib progressed. It was a nightmare - daily 3 hour interuptions to my life, broken sleep, anxiousness.etc. I am lucky in that I am asymptomatic but still it was a concern. I was placed on

Is your Afib regular and in between you are ok?
Does anybody have Afib regularly, say every 14 days but between that time you are ok. My Afib is not a fast heartbeat type. I am just irregular. It’s lasts about 3 days. After a night I can exercise and my heart rate may go occasionally up to 160, it goes back down when I stop. This is the only way I

Reactions to Flecainide and Amiodarone?
I am so glad to find this forum. Really validating to see how incredibly different people’s experiences with Afib are and the willingness to share. I’ve been in Afib persistently for a little over three months now. It returned several months after my first cardioversion, and hasn’t stopped except
