In 19 days its a year later....
In 19 days time it will be a year ago my accident happened. I still ask myself what's wrong with me but I know what happened, I know what I have came through and I know the person I am today. I have made, in my opinion, a decent recovery but still working on it. I am a different person for my family

Scotsman frae Edinburgh age 77
I done sports all my life mostly cycling and running and have had a low heart bpm (50-60 ) from my teens. Early 2023 I was on holiday in Spain and although I was running and cycling each day I noticed the hills were a bit harder than usual and found my pulse was now 30-40bpm I e-consulted my GP who

LINQ ECG implant - what follow up have people had.
Hi everyone with or similar LINQ ECG implant fitted. My LINQ device was fitted in February of this year. In May I received a telephone call from the cardiology team, who I have not met, that an Afib event was detected and a medication change to EDOXABAN was prescribed. I have not had any further

Amiodarone Report
Is Amiodarone the drug of last resort, which produces terrible side effects. Or The best drug for arrythmia? My consultant says that it will improve the chance of a successful cardioversion and will help keep my heart in sinus rhythm afterwards. Amiodarone has already improved my heart significantly

Rising resting HR
Not so much an AFib post, but 6 weeks after a successful cardioversion I'm keeping a very close eye on my HR and this week it seems to be rather elevated. Each morning I wake and check my overnight resting HR according to my Fitbit. Whereas last week and previous I'd be at 60bpm or just below while sleeping

ecg on Apple Watch different to the red heart section
Hi myself and my husband are a bit confused as his Apple Watch on the ecg says average 110/120 beats a minute but the average heart rate on the red heart says average between sixties to nineties . We were thinking maybe the ecg is picking up Jist the fast beats as he has persistent AF we are waiting

Hi, I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal A Fib earlier this year. I’m taking flecainide 100mg twice a day and Edoxaban 60 mg one a day. A Fib is pretty much under control. Yesterday I was walking up a slight incline when my legs began aching and I became breathless I stopped for a while and things calmed

Atrial fibrillation in early 50s for no obvious reason
Hi, I'm 51 years old, fit, healthy, no high BP, don't smoke, eat mostly a plant based diet and had my first afib episode a month ago. A&E couldn't find a cause and put it down to dehydration and over doing it. They sent me away with no medication. A fews weeks later I started getting migraines with aura

beta blockers and anticoagulants
Medscape posted a long article about a research on beta blockers and how few RCTs have been done on their efficacy for AF. It was hard to interpret but seems that for some folk they make AF worse and for many the side effects are too negative. There’s also an article on over prescribing of anticoagulants

Conversion Pause
Hello to all you wonderful people. Without getting into a lot of detail, I will try and get straight to the point. I’ve been told I can make a novel out of one tiny incident…..lol After having a Holter monitor for 72 hours, my cardiologist wanted to see me right away. He said he was concerned with

Stress echo after effects
I had a dobutamine stress echo on Sunday which was pretty unpleasant and triggered my paroxysmal AFib. The AFib reverted on Monday morning but I am not feeling well since. Did anyone else have any after effects please?

cardioversion within 3 weeks of ablation?
Despite playing by the book and doing everything I could, I’ve been back in persistent AFib for 4 days since my ablation two and a half weeks ago. The arrhythmia team had me in for an ECT today and are arranging an appointment for a cardioversion possibly this Saturday. Just wondering if anyone else

Informal Survey for Afib Sufferers
I have had to cut out many foods and drinks from my diet because of celiac disease and problems with trapped gas which were triggering my Afib. Solving my digestive issues has been very effective in also eliminating Afib episodes. My "survey" question is: Would you share with forum readers what foods

Post ablation fatigue - update
Hi all At just over four months since my 7th June ablation here's an update on how things have gone. Overall the experience was not trivial. The whole thing was exhausting. The recovery from general anaesthetic was unexpectedly unpleasant. During the three month blanking period I was taking flecainide

Does donating 1 liter of blood increase chance of going back into Afib?
I had surgical ablation on 9/8. Stayed in sinus rhythm for 2 weeks then back to Afib. I had a cardioversion 2 weeks ago and have stayed in sinus. I need to have 1 liter of blood drawn because my iron levels are too high. Does anyone know if taking out that much blood will increase my chances of going

1 ablation 3 cardioversions
I’m 81. My afib was first diagnosed in 2020 but I’m sure it started well before. In 2021, I was prescribed diltiazem at ER. The next evening, after lying on my side in bed watching Masterpiece Theater for 2 hours, I stood up … and blacked out, falling and breaking my arm. I have low blood pressure, never

One failed catheter ablation in Jan 2023, massive worsening of symptoms in July 2023 clearly indicating vagal nerve involvement. My very nice cardiologist (Professor) recommends another cath ablation or drug therapy which I know will not work, e.g. can't breathe well after betablocker and developed extreme
