Experiences with

Atripla

I have just started taking daily flecainide after AFib became more frequent. I have a perfectly healthy heart and mild hypertension. I am awaiting a prescription for a beta blocker to go along with the flecainide. I have had a couple of AFib incidents since starting the preventative dose where Fibricheck

Hey everyone, I am new to this forum as I have only recently come across this website. I am a 21 year old male with no prior history of heart health issues. Back in July of last year, I began professional school and after the first week of classes were completed the students held a large party. I attended

I'm devastated. My last episode of afib was back in January which was triggered by the gastrogaffin and resulting diarrhoea I had while preparing for CT colonoscopy. I really thought I would stay free for a while as I come to terms with being diagnosed with PMR. Problem is this episode and the last one

Most of my recently increased incidence of AFib occur either in the middle of the night or immediately on waking up after a disturbed sleep. I have always been an excellent sleeper and am convinced that lack of sleep and anxiousness is at the root of my issues. Anyone have experience of this and any

Recorded this ecg when I suddenly got a tight chest and breathlessness. Note that it shows LAD and no P or T waves. I've never seen this before. It normalised towards the end when I felt better. Could this be Junctional Rythm as my heart rate was 43 just prior to it starting and went up to 60 bpm.

After a period of Afib free I have had 4 incidents in the past week. All the same: either middle of the night or first thing in the morning. I was taking 100mg of flecainide in the morning and at night for a week or so and was free of AFib but then had 3 of them while I was taking it. I think I was

Hello everyone. My PAF has become worse over last 6 months particularly when I'm walking dog. (End up with a afib every time). Doc spoke to my cardiologist who suggested catheter ablation but need to see me with ecgs. So doc referred me but a 46 week wait for appt. Doc has now expedited me but still

In my earlier post I rambled on about raised BNP, possible heart failure etc etc. I promised to keep you updated, so here I am - with absolutely nothing to tell, as I am still waiting for my echocardiogram. I did however have a chat with a Dr, let’s call her Dr X. Phone call went like this Hello Mrs

I was reluctant to take blood thinners from about the age of 68 to 72. My CHA2DS2Vasc sat at "1" for most of that time until it went to a "2." Actually, my Cardiologist didn't think I needed blood thinners either as I was having infrequent periods of relatively short Afib so he had me on low-dose aspirin

Just a update, it’s always nice to hear from people in my shoes, anyone with similar issues feel free to let me know or ask if they need any of my experience with this torturous problem. I’m now 3 months post catheter ablation! I had a routine echocardiogram done in March 2022 with positive news a

So, I have had PAF (probably vagal) for about 5 years. My incidents have gone from once every every few months to about weekly in the last few months. Stress is usually my trigger and incidents usually take place during the night or first thing in the morning. I was using 200mg of Flecainide as PIP

Hi Long story but After a few posts last month when I explained that after Covid I was getting more AF bouts I was told today that I’m in permanent AF and after consultant signs off letter to doc I will be taken off flecainide, and will be prescribed Digoxin along with my usual 10 mg Bisoprolol. Heart

I started on 50mg X 2 Flecainide a few months ago after 10 years of no treatment and the effects have been life changing. However the fibrillation had now been replaced by flutter and I'm beginning to feel almost as bad again. My RHR had always been in the low 50s and BP at 125/75 but now they are prescribing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9a54B-7oyE A useful video ( 7 mins) from the author of the excellent book - The Afib Cure. Might be useful to newcomers... 1) Medication PIP 2) Rehydrate 3) Optimise electrolytes 4) Exercise it away (my second choice) 5) Relax (my first choice) 6) Vagal manoeuvres 7)

I had an ablation almost two years ago. In the month or so after the ablation, I had migraine without aura 3 or 4 times, and read that this happens to some, and that it goes away. And it did but not entirely…which was not surprising as I had had occasional migraine aura without headache since I was

I had a cardiac ablation 2 days for PAfib . I’m feeling well and was told the procedure went smoothly. I had thought that after the procedure I would gradually reduce the medication over a period of perhaps 3 months or so. Instead I’ve been told to take the same dosage as before for 3 months and then

Came across this tonight. According to the investigators, a compound isolated from Pygeum africanum is the first naturally occurring AR antagonist. While papers on this isolate appear more than a decade ago, the detailed discussion of various mechanisms at play as Pca evolves from castration sensitive

Hello everybody, Here are some interesting questions. I had 4-5 episodes of AFIB about 4 years ago. It ended with me getting an ablation in December of 2018. I had been AFIB-free 3.5 years. Last week I had an episode. My heart was not beating too fast and I was not feeling too bad. That's quit different

Hi, Thoughts: I have been diagnosed with PSVT and a 30 monitor detected only one episode of Afib. My apple watch is what prompted my seeing a cardio as it detected irregular heartbeats. I was on eliquis and no episodes and not spikes, so cardio said to stop taking it and see how it goes. Well, watch

Once in a while I get very irregular heartbeats after I go to bed at night. My Dr. said they are palpitations and not afib and did not occur during the 24 hour holter monitor, but I noticed a pattern as to when they occur: always after a very salty and probably MSG restaurant meal and a few drinks with
