AF episode
Last night we went out for dinner with friends. I usually take my Atenolol (I dropped from 50mg to 25mg 3 weeks ago) around 7.00/7.30 pm but I forgot to take it with me. Around 8.00 I felt those familiar crazy palpitations and when I checked with my Instant Heartrate app on my phone, there was a crazy

BP & Pulse following Cardioversion
I had a cardioversion following a 999 call 2 days ago. Now home I find my BP 95/51 with a pulse of 56. Would this be the Cardioversion effect or drugs (only on 5mg lisinopril and 25mg atenolol so not heavy duty drug use) and apixaban. Also feel lightheaded.

Missed Atenolol dose for 5 days, incorrect script
I have been taking Atenolol for a number of years without any problems, however when I collected my last prescription I was issued with allopurinol in error, despite correct sticker on the box, signed and countersigned by the chemist and their assistant. I commenced the new meds and started feeling

Afib: No Symptoms and High QOL
I was diagnosed 5 years ago with Afib. Being symptom free, I never noticed till a nurse at my GP picked up and I was refered to a cardiologist. I was already on a beta blocker, atenolol, over 10 years, for HBP. Added Apixaban. Both tolerated well. Heart has checked out defect free and working well

Nifedipine/ Coracten
Hi, I've been on Nifedipine 20mg (Adalat Retard) twice daily for about 5 years to help control painful spasms in my forearms related to Raynauds/Scleroderma. I'm also on Carbamazepine, Aspirin, Co-codamol, and Illoprost every 6 months. The recent change to Coracten I think has led to side effects which

Having a beer...
It’s been almost 4 weeks since my ablation. I’ve been back to work building houses full time and feel fine. Sweat all day in the 100 degree heat and heart rate in the 100s all day. I’m still on atenolol 12.5mg twice a day and Eliquos twice a day. I’ve read all over the internet there’s really no certain

Beta blocker sensitivity?
Hi all and many thanks to all who have helped me out with my various worries and woes etc in the last few years. I wonder if I can pick your brains and see if I can gauge consensus here or see if anyone has had similar issues. I’m 6/7 weeks since RF ablation (second one) and despite some phrenic nerve

1.5 weeks post AF ablation. How long are you on beta blockers?
How long do you have to take beta blockers after afib ablation? I’m on atenolol now and I can’t stand the medication. I’m so weak and out of breath easily upon exerting. I just want to lay around. I mowed my front lawn and had to stop twice. My first ablation for aflutter and SVT was a piece of cake
