Amiodarone after ablation
I am four week post ablation. A week afterward, I had an afib episode that had to be treated with cardioversion even though I was taking 120 mg of TR diltiazem. A second episode began a week later and they told me to start 200 mg of amiodarone, which has big side effects on many and takes six months

10 days afib now finished HR too low?
After 10 days of seeing heart rate mainly over 100 but zooming up and down, it is now on the 50s and little energy to move. Presumable the Bisoprolol working too well. Is this normal? I am not faint or dizzy

Pill in Pocket Question
Hi everyone- first time poster. I’m a healthy 53 yo Male with a background in competitive cycling. I had my first episode of AF about 2 yrs ago and was cardioverted at the hospital. Since then I have modified numerous aspects of lifestyle as - cut out alcohol and cut way down caffeine, improved sleep

Sotalol &high blood pressure medicine
Is anyone on sotalol and high blood pressure medicine at the same time? My blood pressure is to high then to low, the GP is trying different medicine and dosages to see what works. I know it can take a bit of time to get the right meds to work. Thank you

Amiodarone as pill in pocket
I take Flecainide 150mg, Bisoprolol 1.25 and Xarelto 20mg every morning and this regime usually keeps me free from Afib episodes and able to lead an active life. However, about once a month my heartbeat becomes irregular and is often over 100, at these times my BP plummets My Cardiologist says when

Second Day Out From Cryoablation with Migraines and Afib Episodes
Had my first cryoablation the day before yesterday and on my second day at home. As others have shared here, I've had migraine with aura every day since the procedure and two today. I hear that these can continue for a couple of weeks or so. Also, a bit discouraging to see my Kardia detect Afib this

Time change
Does anyone else suffer from the time change here in the USA? I don't think that exists in the UK or other countries? For me, when the clocks are set ahead an hour in the spring (just this last Saturday night) or back in the fall, I'm a mess for about two weeks. It throws off my circadian rhythm. We

Melatonin and night time Afib. An observation
I have been taking 5mg of Melatonin on and off through the years to manage bouts of insomnia. Recently I have noticed that without taking Melatonin I am waking up with Afib through the night but if I take it before bed I'm sleeping through and not either not noticing the Afib, or not actually getting

Status Update Post-atrial Cardioäblation:
Had rapid atrial quivering/fibrillation develop in Feb '21 while I was focused on avoiding a second heart attack after having had a major one 9½ years earlier. Got put on meds to see if AFib could be managed that way but worsened to the point that by Aug, my heart was tracked at 244 BPM and I'd collapsed

Flecainide or ablation for atrial fibrillation?
My partner has recently been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. He has been offered either medication or ablation and he has opted for ablation as he does not want to be on medication for the rest of his life (he is early 40s). The consultant said it is a complicated procedure with risks and 1 in 200

My arrhythmia pattern is intermittent. It seems to build up over a few days then really busy for 10/14 days. Peace in between. Advice please
I’m due to see arrhythmia nurse soon after a successful cardio version in November. Before I see the consultant they’ve insisted I have a 24hr tape. But I’m having 3 things going on arrhythmia wise none of which are continuous. All these are intermittent I have busy rhythm weeks but also quiet weeks

Feeling pressured into ablation!
I met with an EP in South Birmingham today (NHS) referred by my private cardiologist. He was extremely curt, didn’t listen and delighted in telling me that PAF would invariably turn into permanent afib and ablation was my only choice but it probably wouldn’t work first time and came with all sorts of

Off beta block and Flec prior to Ablation?
I’m scheduled for my fourth (final?) ablation this time for atrial flutter. The EP asks me to stop taking Metoprolol (50mg 2x) and Flecainide (50mx 2x) four days prior. Additionally to stop amlodipine day of procedure. What are peoples’ experiences who have done this? I’m currently back in NSR due to

Needing reassurance
I had a mini-stroke on Monday with no lasting effects. My problem is i am now scared to death of another one. I am staying in bed just waiting for something to happen. I received excellent treatment at the ER and many tests were run. I am waiting to have a special heart cath done to check for "bubbles

Cocktail of drugs
Just starting taking digoxin along with bisoprolol and perindopril which I was already taking, following my heart going into AF a couple of days ago. I had cardioversion approx 20 months ago. Anyone else taking this cocktail of medicines?
