Atrial flutter

However I also have atrial flutter which the meds don’t seem to touch. This happens every time I wake up, starting about 5am though sometimes earlier. I don’t know whether it’s because I wake up or it wakes me up. For a couple of years it only lasted seconds but now it’s minutes.However I also have atrial flutter which the meds don’t seem to touch.

Atrial flutter and racing heart

Husband has been on Imbruvica less then a year and ended up in the hospital last week with Atrial flutter and racing heart rate. He was taken off the Imbruvica 11 days ago as they determined that was the cause and his lymph nodes have enlarged quite a bit since then.Husband has been on Imbruvica less then a year and ended up in the hospital last week with Atrial flutter and racing heart rate.

Not atrial flutter??!

I haven’t had an episode of atrial flutter for a while. However last night I had a strange episode where I felt very airy in my chest. When I took my pulse it wasn’t going very slow or very fast it was going between 65-70 but the pulse in my wrist felt very light and weaker.I haven’t had an episode of atrial flutter for a while.

Atrial flutter

They too thought it was atrial flutter as opposed to AF. Again he had eaten a couple of plain buscuits and his heart rate went up straight after.They too thought it was atrial flutter as opposed to AF. Again he had eaten a couple of plain buscuits and his heart rate went up straight after.

“Quivering” heart again...

If it was atrial flutter, wouldn’t this show up in Kardia and wouldn’t I have some awareness of a rapid beat? The sensation, unlike PAF, always goes after about 10 mins, particularly if I get up.If it was atrial flutter, wouldn’t this show up in Kardia and wouldn’t I have some awareness of a rapid beat?

Recent diagnosis of Atrial Flutter

There seems to be lots of information about Atrial Fibrillation but not Atrial Flutter. My main concern is what my lifestyle should be now. Should I be living normally or taking care in what I do. I am 69 years old.There seems to be lots of information about Atrial Fibrillation but not Atrial Flutter. My main concern is what my lifestyle should be now.

Visit to the Cardiologist Today

So i got my 4 month post ablation check today, feeling a bit disappointed as he said that my skipped beats that i have been getting are a result of something else and not that the heart is still recovering, he said the heart will be fully recovered now and this could be ectopics or atrial flutter, heSo i got my 4 month post ablation check today, feeling a bit disappointed as he said that my skipped beats that i have been getting are a result of something else and not that the heart is still recovering, he said the heart will be fully recovered now and this could be ectopics or atrial flutter, he

Atrial flutter

I developed atrial flutter, following severe dehydration because of equally severe gastroenteritis. A cardioversion was planned on an outpatient basis, followed by an ablation some time later. I've been on Rivaroxaban and Diltiazem for around 4 weeks now.I developed atrial flutter, following severe dehydration because of equally severe gastroenteritis.

Hopping Mad

Back in atrial flutter with a heart rate held at around 105 with the help of a hefty dose of Bisoprolol. I will phone the hospital first thing Monday but am not anticipating much luck. I could scream but the beta blockers make me too tired to make the effort.Back in atrial flutter with a heart rate held at around 105 with the help of a hefty dose of Bisoprolol.

Feeling Rotten After Cardioversion

I was in atrial flutter at the time with a HR of 150+. I was expecting to feel instantly better afterwards. HR currently 65 which is good but felt as though my legs had turned to lead and I had no energy during a two mile walk in the park with my hubby. Feel really disappointed.I was in atrial flutter at the time with a HR of 150+. I was expecting to feel instantly better afterwards.
