New to Afib
Hi All,I'm very new to Afib after being rushed to hospital late Feb with my first episode. Currently on Apaxiban 2 x daily and Metoprolol 2 x daily. I went for about 4 weeks without another episode after the initial one, but now its a daily thing. I did a light walk on the treadmill today which sparked

cardioversion
hi, I had my first Cardioversion at St Richards Chichester on 11th March. (First diagnosed early January but probably been in AF since Sept) It worked initially but reverted to AF very shortly after. Since watching the very helpful video interview on this site with Prof Gupta, now realise that most revert

COVID
I just tested positive for COVID for the first time. I am 67 with Afib/flutter, Inappropriate SinnTschycardia,, I take 25 mg of Metoprolol and -25 mg of klonopin for anxiety. I take 81 mg of aspirin. I have the Atriclip that occluded my left atrial appendage, as I had a near fatal hemorrhage with Eliquis

Looking for feedback regarding Asymptomatic Afib
I'm fairly new to this forum and I already feel at home. It's very refreshing to find an online community whose members are so kind, understanding and generous. By way of introduction, I'm a 69-year-old male living in Connecticut. My Afib history is as follows: Diagnosed with Afib by PCP - 8/9/

Waiting Times For Ablations?
Back in August last year I had a cardioversion which only lasted for 3 weeks. In October I had a CT coronary angiogram and received the results in December. It showed that I do have some calcification but non flow limiting and otherwise all was okay and that I was being referred to the cardiologist for

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

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
