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

Digoxin again (and again)
Long story but after being on digoxin for just under a fortnight I began to feel ill : violent palpitations, high heart rate, diarrhoea ( frequent) and generally feeling terrible. Consulted gp who told me it was a bug but he’d write to cardiologist and if I didn’t hear anything after ten days to phone

Atrial flutter
I’m taking 50mg of flecainide twice a day and 1.25mg of bisoprolol once a day. Played golf this morning and then prepared to celebrate (no alcohol as I’m teetotal) the jubilee by hosting a bbq for around 10. Never really stopped all day and then took my dose of flec at 4pm and around 5.20pm developed

Magnesium and afib
About a year ago, few months after being diagnosed with afib and cardiac arrest, thanks to this wonderful forum, I became a gluten free vegetarian, stopped alcohol and increased my magnesium with eating more nuts and rasberries. I have been afib free since, except for when I stopped my betablocker sotalol

Pneumonia again.
I have interstitial lung disease and have just been diagnosed again with pneumonia. This is the second time in 8 months. I am so fed up as it took me nearly 6 months to get over the first episode. All my dmards were stopped and I had a massive flare which was never fully under control even with 40 mgs

25+ years with persistant AF, now possible AV Node Ablation
I am 52 live in the UK and have had permanent/persistant AF for I don't know how long as I only found out about it 25+ years ago by accident in the gym. I think they call it Lone AFib as historically I have rarely had any troublesome symptoms apart from more recently starting to get a lot more fatigued

Commercial Airline Flight Triggering Afib
Hello All — I was on a 1 1/2 hour flight this morning between Washington DC and Atlanta. About an hour into it, I felt palpitations and soon after we landed, I had a racing heart rate and what felt like Afib. I take 25 mg/day of Metoprolol to control ectopics, blood pressure medication and Xarelto

Digoxin advice again
Hi all I’ve posted a few times recently about AFib returning after Covid. I’m now on digoxin, 2 x Apixaban, and Bisoprolol 10 daily. Been in this for nearly two weeks. At first all was well, but I am now getting daily bouts of quite fierce AFib which are intermittent for around an hour. I’ll speak to

Afib starts between 1am and 2am
I have been researching the Afib at night posts, and went back and looked at the data on my phone, and i noticed that the 2 episodes from last year and 3 from this year mostly started around 1:45am. The only exception was the BIG episode in march which landed me in hospital, and came home with apixaban

Afib and irregular heartbeat
Recently diagnosed with Afib. I have a bp monitor that detects irregular beats and it has on a few occasions. Is this worrying?

Confused about strokes
Hi. I am aware of what a stroke is and I have worked with individuals that have had strokes. This was many years ago when I was able to work! My question is…. Can a person have mini strokes for years and be unaware that they are happening? I had a TBI over 10 years ago and it left me permanently disabled

Diltiazem, memory and advice
Hello All! I am pleased to have found this wonderful community, although no one goes looking for a reason to join an afib forum... I was wondering if anyone else has had memory issues with diltiazem or other calcium channel blockers? Also, is there anything you wish you had known at the start of your
