Today was NOT the day
All gowned,obs done,cannula in place ready for my TOE and ablation BUT INR still only 1.7 and consultant decided that either procedure was ill advised as I have a prosthetic aortic valve and INR of 1.7 is a dangerous level. We had a good long discussion about ablation for my atrial flutter and ultimately

High temperatures and Bisoprolol
I hope you are all coping with this heat In France we have been in the high 30s for a week I take Flecinide and 1.25 Bisoprolol daily. Since this hot weather my BP and pulse rate have plummeted and Afib returned Has anyone else experienced this? I am thinking of stopping Bisoprolol for

The Yo-yo of the blanking period
Hello All Just a little update . As you know I had a couple of Afib incidents in the days following my RF ablation. TThe EP had taken me off Flecainide and Bisoprolol immediately after the ablation. Following which I had some AFib. The EP put me back on the meds ( hope you are following!

Post-Ablation Afib Episode Causes?
I had my first cyro ablation in March after which I had a brief, 15-minute Afib episode and then a 4-hour and a 6-hour episode, all while off the flecainide which had kept episodes at bay for 10 months or more before the ablation. Now I am back on 100 mg. flecainide daily. Because my episodes are always

PACs instead of AFib
Started AF about 12yrs ago when an idiot dr overdosed my thyroid meds. Since then I have usually several episodes a year (lasts an average of 6 or so hrs and I take metoprolol as soon as it starts). I take hawthorn/magnesium glycinate/taurine/CoQ10 daily. Had my first episode this year in June and thought

Failed ablations
Just to ask people who got two, three even four ablations and still in Afib, did you ask your ep why it failed? Why do you keep seeing the same ep and keep doing the same thing over and over again knowing it will fail. There is out there many very skilled ep who got thousands of ablations under their

update on the ecg I posted 2 weeks ago!
so was at cardiologist today for my 3 month post ablation follow up for AF. He’s thinking there is a good chance the AF has gone. I showed him the ecg traces from my Apple Watch which some of you had suggested bigeminy PVCs and that’s exactly what they are. He has me on a 24 hour monitor just now to

changing med for Afib
I was having a lot of lightheadedness and dizziness so my doctor Put me on only one atenolol pill and left me on 2 Flecainide and also took me off of my blood pressure pill. This Seem to be a change as I have been on a blood pressure pill for many many years. I will let you know how it turns out.

Taking Flecainide even when in Permanent Afib

Just received the full copy of my blood test where I can see my TSI
My TSI is 1.20 (0.00 - 2.00) Does it mean that I ddi not have Graves and RAI is not right treatment for me? Thank you very much for your opinions.

Is this controlled?
I'm 53 with no heart disease and have been on daily flecanide (100mg x3 daily - I'm 6'6" and 16 stone hence the large dose) and 2.5mg of bisoporol. I get an AFib break through almost everyday, normally if I am late taking my flecanide. However the incidents are very low level - 80-90 bpm, mildly irregular

Stopping Sotalol suddenly
I had my first episode of AF last December and I think I have had one since which lasted a couple of hours but by the time I could get it checked I was back in sinus rhythm. Bisoprolol didn't suit me so I was put on 40mg Sotalol twice a day. However my blood pressure and heart rate is quite low so

Amiodarone
My EP is suggesting that I try amiodarone. My history is of 3 ablations, 2016, 2018, 2020. Last one finally touched up the scars that had “failed” - so the afib seems to be gone. But they couldn’t trigger my tachycardia during the ablation. And annoyingly, the tachycardia is much more frequent (daily

Eight and a half weeks post ablation
Thanks for all the well wishers after my cryo-ablation at Stoke. The first 3 days were fine with just a few palpitations. The next two weeks were a nightmare with 5 visits to Burton Queen's A & E with heart rates varying between 170 and 75. Increasing volumes of Bisoprolol and then Sotalol were prescribed

PVCs post cardioversion
Been in hospital since I left home after a cardioversion that put me in nsr but with multiple PVCs and going in and out of Afib which resulted in me being taken by ambulance with fluid overload on lungs and heart. Still in on a monitor and waiting on next move as don’t feel good like this. On dronederone

A question about angiogram/ablation
I have had AF for at least 15 years, controlled by bisoprolol and increasing doses of flecainide. For reasons not quite clear to me I'm now booked in for an angiogram. My GP followed it up and tells me it's because I said I'd think about an ablation. It's hard to know who said what when all appointments

Returning to Sinus with Exercise?
I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib in May 2021 which is being managed by meds (Flec + AC) and I continue to have intermittent episodes lasting between 1 day and 5 days. At the beginning of June this year, I was given permission to return to the gym. I'm 60, male, non-smoker, non-drinker, 68kg, 3

Had an ablation in February and everything was great until....
Hello: I was diagnosed with Afib in October 2021. The Dr had to do a cardioversion just to get it back into rhythm & was in the hospital for 30 hrs. Dr prescribed Eliquis & Amiodarone to keep it in rhythm & protect from blood clots. Had the ablation in February, had 3 months of Afib then everything

Anyone else hit 250bpm+ at rest in Afib?
I had a thought earlier while discussing some of my health issues with my husband - I've posted quite a lot on here, and discussed how my heart hits 200+bpm and I've even recorded it a few times ranging from 250-300bpm during my episodes and I have not seen anyone else post similar. I need to go to

Afib heat laser Ablation
Here's a quick back round. 61 years old. Have had Afib off and on for 25+ years. So after countless Cardioversions, numerous Homeopathic regimens and a try of SotaloI (which was the worst by the way). I always ended up back in Afib along with the terrible quality of life that goes with it within days
