Hi All, My first post but I’ve found this forum so useful in recent weeks so firstly a big thank you to those who contribute such useful material and advice! A short history - I’m 37 and have thankfully been very fit and healthy other than mild asthma up until becoming unwell with suspected COVID last

I am 69 and was diagnosed approximately 4 months ago with locally advanced Ductal Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate, Gleason 8, with seminal vessel involvement. I've been on Eligard for 3 months and had blood tests yesterday but I don't have any results to share yet. I also had a CT SIM yesterday in preparation

Hi all, Went for my ablation at Leeds today. I was first in so walked down at 8.30. No messing about i was in my sexy gown at 8.45am. As I'm a complicated case the scheduled the morning for me. Soooooo. . . Obviously nothing set in stone but what I recall my EP saying is he tidied up the previous 2

I’m 70 years old just been diagnosed with permanent Afib, I would like to take up jogging again to lose weight and get fit . Good idea or not?

AF and Bradycardia I have had Afib for over 15 years. It was acquired from decades of intense training. I had a congenital heart defect(bi-leaflet Aortic valve) and was stricken with Endocarditis after a dental procedure. After the successful valve replacement the doctors had me on Tykosyn (Difatulide

I had a cryoballoon ablation on Dec 1, 2020. 3 days later I finally slept on my stomach. Got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, laid back down and my chest started booming and I went into Afib. The same thing happened to me on the night before the procedure. Before the ablation a few

Hi everyone. Went through cathether ablation for parax. AFib a week ago. Im only 29. Had AFib episodes every day before my procedure. Since the ablation I now have had atrial flutter episodes 5 times in 7 days, which last up to few minutes each. Also lots of strong ectopics when lying down and trying

I find there are times when I can't sleep on my right side (I never sleep on my left) without my heart playing up. I have trained myself to sleep on my back but I've never heard anyone else suffering this. Also, when I'm reading in bed, I have to hold the book off my chest, or this also causes missed

Hi! after a 24-hour holter, thousands of ventricular extrasystoles were detected. Because they are symptomatic (I have strong palpitations at night) I was prescribed beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors. Do I also need anticoagulants? I have a pacemaker, I had bradycardia, my heart is healthy, the mitral

Recently prescribed a z pack for sinus issues . Does Z pack tend to cause an episode of A Fib ? I already tried doxycycline but didn’t really do much. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. My sinuses are making me crazy .

Atrial Flutter or Atrial Fibrillation ? Difficult to determine which it is when heart is racing 140s 180’s 200 . Will an EP study determine which it is? From my understanding, the EP study can manipulate different arrhythmias , therefore not a diagnostic procedure? 6 episodes in 8 months 5 resolved

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has experienced a change in the nature of their afib after ablation. I had my first ablation at St Thomas's in London at the beginning of last November. I've been ok till about three weeks ago when the dreaded AF returned. Before the ablation my experience of AF was paroxysmal

My EP has been telling me about the apple watch that records an ECG, he then says you can download it to your phone and send it over, so it can be seen and confirmed if you are in afib or just having ectopics. As I have an Android phone and not an i - phone, can anybody recommend an alternative please

Missed beats.

Have ongoing (daily episodes) of paroxysmal AF - more palpitations than actual racing heartbeat. Recently prescribed Diltiazem instead of Bisoprolol & Felodipine. Anyone on this or changed to it from a beta blocker??

Hi everyone, been on Digoxin for a week or so and doc has upped my dose twice. I'm now taking 3 62.5 pills per day to find my right dose. My heart rate has gone from 130 to a low 55 so it's done the trick. My question is has anyone else had a very low heart rate on this drug. Beta blockers, tried 2 took

Hi all, Had ablation in early December, so I’m almost 3 months out. Having bad a fib with Tachycardia once a week. Still on meds (dofetilide, eliquis, stopped metatoprol) . Will see Dr in a couple of weeks. Wondering why. Thanks everyone!

Morning, Thankyou so much to you all for your advice. I got in touch with the arrhythmia nurses at Barts. I have now been advised that they are upping my sotalol dose , however thankfully after 6 days of afib my heart has gone back into NSR overnight. Prof Schilling has now said he will do another ablation

I am wondering if anyone has enlarged liver on acalabrutinib. I am on acalabrutinib since September 1st. My blood tests are much improved, but I feel now more pressure on the right side than the left side. Can acalabrutinib effect liver? My spleen decreased only slightly from 21 cm to 17cm. Thanks fo
