AF & The perfect 🤩 storm ⛈
Well AFibbers I am sad (but still very grateful) that after 11 months AFIb free I had an episode last Monday. BUT….. I know why! I created the perfect AFIb storm. I stopped taking bisoprolol as a trial (agreed with cardio), within a few days I started a nutritional reset (cutting all the sugars I’d

Ablation under general anesthesia with obstructive sleep apnea
Hi everybody, If someone has sleep apnea, is it it safe to undergo an RF Afib ablation under general anesthesia? Especially if the patient doesn’t have or use CPAP?

Stroke on Apixaban
I was taking Apixaban for paroxysmal AF after a catheter ablation several years ago, which mostly cured me of the debilitating bouts of AF which I was suffering. The paroxysmal AF was hard for me to notice but detected by a monitor, and 'self terminating', so I declined Flecainide as I didn't fancy

ADT CHOICES
I'm on Firmagon once a month and it's working fine. The only problem is that I feel like garbage for 2 or 3 days after the shot. Is there any difference in effectiveness if I had a 6 month shot of Lupron or Eligard?

BACK INTO SINUS RHYTHM WITH A METRONOME
I have had paroximal atrial fibrillation for seven years, probably once a month, with HR around 150 for many hours. Over the years I have experimented all possible methods for stopping AF, including electrical tragus stimulation, slow breathing, alternate nostril breathing, swallowing big mouthfuls

Pacemaker
Ive just had a 48 hour monitor which showed all afib all day and night low heart rate 40s 30s plus tachycardia several times my cardiologist stopped metoprolol weeks ago and now wants to stop diltiazem but wouldn't you think he would suggest a pacemaker? Had all drugs plus 3 ablations

I jinxed myself 3 months after ablation with EP Doc yesterday!
Im a newbie and retired paramedic here. After years of meds for paroxysmal afib which I have had 10 years I finally had to be cardioverted after an unusual 36 hour afib episode in ER. I am always bradycardic my entire life of 60 years running in the 40's. But 3 months ago HR was up in 220-240. It dropped

Lisinopril and Lipitor
I have high blood pressure and Afib. I had an MRI on my brain and the doctor found I have had a couple of strokes. Thankfully they made my left side numb, but nothing more. I take 20mg of lisinopril a day and 80mg of Lipitor. I am continually nauseated, and my leg muscles are weak. I feel off balance

Life after watchman.
I was diagnosed with AFIB in January 2020. After taking eliquis for Two years I decided to have the watchman implant because of all the easy bruising and the expense of the eliquis. Am interested in knowing how others have done with the implant. It’s been four days since I got the watchman and today

Amiodorone.
I am looking for some advice on taking Amiodorone. I had a cardioversion a year ago that worked well for 6 months. Since then I have been in AF. No tachycardia, just an irregular heartbeat. It makes me feel unwell and short of breath. My cardiologist has suggested trying the cardioversion again but
