UK Government announce that supplies of Molnupiravir and Ritonavir against Covid 19 have been secured.
Thousands of vulnerable patients could be taking ground-breaking COVID-19 antivirals this winter after the government announced deals to secure 2 new treatments. These treatments should speed up recovery time for COVID-19 patients and the most vulnerable will be eligible first, including the elderly

Could my racing heart, trembling and energy rushes be linked to AF?
I suffer from paroxysmal AF and ectopic beats, but occasionally get a racing heart (fast (150), but regular), accompanied with an energy rush, need to urinate and trembling - does anyone else experience this, too? I can go for weeks without these symptoms, but, after they occur, I'm left with an increased

Back in good old AF!!
Bugger! After three weeks barring a couple of very minor relapses, I’m back in pounding AF! Started at 1.00AM and still fluttering away. This follows on from being stuck in it for eight days straight and 14 hours in A&E where they just dosed me up with Bisoprolol, checked bloods and BP etc. and packed

AF and sleep study -Cpap
I was told by the lead of he sleep study at NHS that there is a link with sleep apnea and AFib. She suggested to me that all people who suffer with AFib ask their GP to be referred for a sleep study.

Left Bundle Block complications.
Hi all. I have a friend in his 70s who has just had a pacemaker fitted for a heart arrhythmia......and been diagnosed with Left bundle block. He was absolutely fine up until recently, except he had been getting a few palpitations and then passed out briefly and hit his head on the floor. He is just

ablation - types and pacemaker
I found my way into this very helpful forum because I have experienced Afib following my 2nd ablation for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). It seems my SVT is gone, but it might have been replaced by afib. I think afib ablation is more complex than SVT ablation, takes longer to perform and also has

Back home from Ablation
Morning all, I got home late last night from from my cryo ablation at St Barts. They gave me transport to and from as I was struggling with that aspect which was brilliant. Had a bit of an issue with low blood pressure afterwards but I do tend to suffer with fairly low blood pressure anyway. I don’t

Quick question re pneumonia vaccination
I had a battle last year to get the pneumonia vaccination, even though my consultant recommended it, and I have yearly CT scans of my lungs due to a nodule and prone to pneumonia and chest infections since birth. After 30 minutes waiting on the phone today to speak to the surgery, they say that pneumonia

Pill in pocket
Look forward to comments. Seems my cardiologist wants to cover all the bases (more medications = better protection). GP agreed I should try coming off flecainide. Taking Xarelto blood thinner to be safe. Use Apple Watch and take ECG readings at every opportunity. Five days ago I went off flecainide

Ablation Booked
So a week on Sunday, heading into the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for my ablation for the PAF. Not too anxious bearing in mind I had the same procedure over three years ago to fix the flutter and then three weeks later, the catheter cardioversion to fix the fibrillation triggered by the original procedure

Importance of Blood Testing
Diagnosed with afib in Feb '21, taking .50gm of metoprolol to control heart rate. Recent blood test revealed glucose increased from 100 to 140 likely caused by metoprolol. Cardiologist currently considering other medications. (prior glucose readings were always below 110). Would encourage all to

Why continue warfarin?
Will I be okay to go off warfarin and switch back to taking 2 low dose aspirin daily? My cardiologist just shrugged and said he can't make me continue warfarin. I believe my diagnosis of AFib was erroneous.

Gum disease link to AFib and Ortner’s syndrome
Dear Community, I know that this may only apply to a small number of people, but even if it just helps one person then it’s worth me sharing! This is my theory, although it was also the opinion of the ENT consultant. Due to covid, I missed dental and hygienist appointments, I then had periodontal disease

Dear all I have an abscess on my elbow which is not healing after many courses of antibiotics. The hospital say they cannot operate to remove the poison as it is near bone and tendons. They are also concerned that it may cause further infection due to my scleroderma. Has anyone had this problem and

A little disheartened!
So I'd rather keep things positive but I suppose I can only be honest! Its 7 weeks since ablation for afib. Before ablation I was symptomatic during afib (shortness of breath,dizzy and palpitations and sweating) but when it self terminated after a while I was generally fine. And could excersise generally
