multaq
hi guys So the dr has taken me off propafenone after being on for a few years and doing well with episodes being around 9 months apart. Started me on multaq and now episodes every 3 weeks, actually in af now for second day. My INR is 2.3 so can I wait until 7 days before going for the dreaded cardioversion

Flecainide without Beta-Blocker
Hello everyone. I am worried about my Husband and the choices being offered to him for the treatment of his AF and I would welcome members thoughts and opinions on the matter. My husband is 75. His heart history as follows. 1. Palpitations, attributed to short salvoes of supraventricular tachycardia

Diltiazem aka Cardizem
Of all times for AF to really mess me about is on my 80th birthday holiday back to the USA A wicked episode which woke me from sound sleep at 4am was not to be curtailed by the maximum dose of Flecainide. First time. Instead, bpm zoomed to 198 and stayed up there and I had no more drugs to throw

Mixed feelings about hospital too busy to review 12 months after ablation.
I am now 12 months NSR after successful ablation and experiencing mixed feelings."Reviewed without contact .No follow up planned." If I run into problems contact them & they will arrange a follow up. I just have a few questions. 1.I need to know what I can expect from now on. 2.As it over 2.5 years

Conundrum Gastrin
Hi everyone, does anyone have advice when trying to increase weight when diagnosed with Intestinal Metaplasia and Hyperplasia. I have been doing some research regarding the damage that Gastrin can do when it doesn't switch off (NET's tumours) because of low stomach acid and as the Gastrin is activated

Breakthrough Afib episodes while on Flecainide
I’m having afib breaking through my daily portion of 200 mg of Flecainide (Tambocor) lately, after a quiet time (2 months) with no Afib at all. Now almost daily and some days even 3 to 4 incidents. I presume the culprit is increased psychological stress (my mother in law with dementia stayed over for

Throwing up triggers AFIB
I was officially diagnosed with having a fib just a few months after my son was born in 2018. I believe I may have experienced this as a child growing up and didn’t know what was happening. I have ONLY had afib episodes after I’ve throw up. I have converted back several times with taking metoprolol

Shift from paroxysmal AFib to permanent! How can I tell if this has happened?
Hi all, I have been in AFib since 4pm on Saturday. Back then it started with my usual, very symptomatic AFib, tachycardia etc which lasted for about 5 hours....took 2.5 bisoprolol as pill in pocket when it first started. Since then, I have been in constant afib which is not as symptomatic. However,

Moving the Clock Forward can be an Afib Trigger
Apparently, losing that extra hour of sleep can trigger afib with some of us. Following is an excerpt from an article from heart.org's newsroom. [i]“We don’t really know the specific reason for increases in heart disease and stroke during the daylight saving time change, but it likely has something

My Dad had

Fibrillation and captured on ECG having had several syncope episodes. I'm just looking for support from fellow sufferers and advice. I stopped listening at Atrial Fibrillation, as I thought the palpitations were my Anxiety.

Cardioversion with amiodarone or straight to ablation?
CV 24/2 failed after 1 week. Heart function team suggest course of amiodarone combined with further CV after a few months of this medication. They have left it with me to consider what I would prefer to do. Either proceed with the above ( with a list of potential side effects which are impossible
