BNP 1800
I have atrial fibrillation and my BNP tests that indicate risk of heart failure was 800 and is now 1700. The stats I have looked at are grim eg 80+% chance of death within 10 years and 50% for 5 years ( at around 2000 BNP near my numbers). Does anyone know if there is a treatment to lower BNP to under

Advice for newbie - severe symptoms, when to call 999 etc
My mum’s in her 80s and has had Afib for about 10 years. Since the initial episode and hospital admission 10 years ago, she never saw a cardiologist but was on medication from her GP. Over the last few years she’s been getting more and more episodes where she feels very unwell – fast & irregular heart

weight loss wehovy and AF medication
Started to post and it’s got very long and I mentioned this in that post but I thought I’d make a separate post. I am in atrial fibrillation in the other post. I talk about my age of my weight but this is a specific thing I’m back in atrial fibrillation after 12 weeks of being in normal rhythm. After

Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
I caught a bad cold (tested negative for COVID) in November 2022 and on the day that started, I went into AFib. I wasn’t given any treatment because I was already on Warfarin due to my aortic valve replacement in March 2015. I finally saw a consultant about the AFib in May 2023 and was put on Isosorbide

Newbie looking for tips and info please
Hi I am new to AF on this forum. The forum looks good and I am impressed by the quality of the posts and answers. I have been on Healthunblocked site in the section for MPN (Polycythaemia) and Thyroid for many years and I am pretty knowledgeable medically as I have Polycythaemia Vera and Hypogonadism

Post Ablation complications
Had persistent fast AFib since Nov 23, decided to go private route as my health was deteriorating. Echocardiogram Jan 24 showers severe mitral regurgitation, and ejection fraction 28%. Lots more drugs added to the cocktail and now under the care of both a cardiologist and an Electrophysiologist. Drugs

This Week in Cardiology on Medscape - Heart Rate Monitors
Wearable HR Monitor Accuracy Canadian authors from Toronto and Calgary (first author Ryan Quinn) have a short but important research letter in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) regarding the accuracy of wearable HR monitors in sinus rhythm (SR) and atrial fibrillation (AF).

This Week in Cardiolgy
I saw these two comments in this week in cardiology on Medscape written by Dr. John Mandrola, an America electrophysiologist. 1. The thing is, death is a common occurrence after a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Multiple observational studies report a 20% to 25% mortality in the first year

Elevated Diastolic Blood Pressure & Thyroid?
I’ve read that thyroid issues can increase diastolic blood pressure while systolic remains normal. I’ve been seeing a slight increase / trend with this. Has anyone else seen this and it meant levothyroxine increase needed?

Thudding heart!
Hello. I'm hoping that those with more experience can help me! I have just been diagnosed with Atrial Flutter with rapid ventricular response and given bisoprolol 2.5mg as well as blood thinners. So, now my heart rate and blood pressure are within normal parameters - but I have a very "thuddy" feeling

Can you tell me what is this new symptom?
Hi once again. Just now I've noticed and felt a new type of heartbeat. My heartbeat was two beats -> pause -> two beats -> pause. Can someone tell what this is? I see a mention of bigeminy or pvc's. I'm currently almost a month post ablation. I didn't have afib episode since December. This is a first

Afib free since November, should I have an ablation or monitor with linq?
I know I have asked this question before but I am still confused and I didn't get to speak to Dr.Natale for my pre-op, just his NP and she didn't have my ekgs with afib from ER. But, should I have an ablation considering I have only had one registered afib event of 44 hours (and I have probably had

worried in France
Good evening everyone. wishing everyone a peaceful Easter. I am in need of a little advice from you lovely people. Since last Friday, I have been experiencing irregular heartbeats and combined with occasional AF. At least I presume that’s what it is, very fast beats. I don’t really know how long I should

Post Ablation follow up.
This site is a wealth of knowledge and common sense so I wonder if people could share their experiences with me.I had a PV ablation for Afib in May 2023 in an excellent Leicestershire hospital and had brilliant care but since then have not been seen by anyone - but I have been given a date of September

8Fast Regular Heartrate
HiI was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation about 3 years ago and I am on a low dose of a betablocker (Bisoprolol 1.25mg daily). I seem to go for quite long gaps without an episode and sometimes I'm not even sure if it is an Afib episode - I have other arrythmias so it can be hard to differentiate. For

paroxysmal atrial fibrillation converted back to sinus rhythm
Hi, I had a really awful Afib attack that resulted in a fast heart beat the other night. The morning after I took my medication and about an hour later my heart reverted back to sinus rhythm but for a few seconds I nearly passed out and remained very dizzy for the rest of the morning. It almost felt

Hydration and Afib paradox
All the cardiologists I have known suggest good hydration. I have paroxysmal Afib, and I noticed, like many Afibbers, that when I have a fibrillation I pee very often. Yesterday another Afib started, lasted six hours, and I delivered a total of 1 liter of pee. To replace it I should have drunk five

Reflex Tachycardia
Has anyone experienced reflex tachycardia with their prescribed rate control medication for afib/ flutter, either calcium channel blockers or beta blockers? I take diltiazem 120 mg extended release (and apixaban) and when sleeping have been experiencing a quick heart beat for only a minute around 90
