Fish oils
I thought I’d best ask the information department of the place I get my Fish oil and plant sterols supplement about any problems with my PAF, their reply is: Hello Angela, Thank you for your email. Our fish oil products are not known to be contra-indicated with any heart conditions such as atrial

Bisoprolol dosage
Hi All, I am currently on 2.5 Bisoprolol due to ectopic beats (22k after a week wearing monitor) a few months ago. I just seem to feel worse on the tablets, tight heavy chest and palpitations still present. I feel ok in the morning and take the tablet at lunch time and shortly after my heart feels

Paul's update
Hiya all. Well I'm right back in it. Feel really poorly TBH. Never have I felt as bad as this with afib. Still after being in sinus for a few years it's be to expected I guess. It will pass as my body adjusts to my new heart rate. 80 bpm one minute and 57 the next. The Bisoprolol knocks you for six but

Where do I go from here? Afib or arythmia any difference?
Editing my post as no replies.Never known this but maybe too muddled. Until 31st of January I had Paroxysmal AF with only 2 attacks in 18 months. This changed from 31st January. At first a typical afib attack .Feeling faint, dizziness,unable to walk around the house without being breathless. This

Fed up
I feel awful still and I am putting a lot down to the beta blockers, my Drs answer is to persevere a bit longer and to increase my stomach medications. I'm not too happy but seems I have no choice, but if the beta blocker is exacerbating stomach issues which in turn has set off palpitations a couple

Return to Afib with a vengeance
Had two ablations the last one September 2020. Have taken Apixaban and 1.25mg Bisoprolol after reduction from 2.5mg. About December/January i stopped taking any Bisoprolol and after maybe 6/8 weeks I noticed when taking my BP I missed a heart beat every 30 or so. Instead of discussing with the Cardiologist

Slow pulse
My husband was in hospital for five days and on discharge was told AF. He had to go back on appointment for angiogram and was diagnosed with Arrhythmia. Now has low pulse between 40 and 50. Feeling tired but has two months before follow up. Should we let doctor know of such low pulse

Persistent AF
I have suffered with PAF for years and was offered an ablation 6 years ago. I didn't think my symptoms were bad enough to justify this and I managed quite well with Bisoprolol. However, I have now gone into what I think is persistent AF and have just had a telephone call from the cardiologist (which

My ablation that never was
So yesterday we got up at 4:30am to get ready for the drive to Bristol for my ablation. Showered, shaved, bag packed, all was ready. While the nurse was getting me wired up for an ECG the doctor arrived. I asked if he could answer a couple of questions for me. He had a look at my notes and said he would

? Lockdown induced Reduced Exercise Tolerance
I'm experiencing breathlessness, heavy limbs, Atrial Fibrillation palpitations and early nights. This has come about following a return to work after a period of lockdown. I'm assuming these are the effects of reduced exercise tolerance post lockdown. Has anyone a suggested return to fitness programme

Ablation or to stay away
Currently, I have highly symptomatic paroxysmal AFib with frequency 1-2 per month. Treatment with rate and rhythm control medications was not successful. I use flecainide as pill in the pocket (PIP) 2 X 100 mg so usually in 2-3 hours I am back to sinus rhythm. However, recently doctors told me that

My BP monitor detect when my blood pressure is out of range (120/80) by a Hypertension indicator, which is most of the time. And also when I'm on arrhythmia it shows a blinking littlie heart. This is at the time when I know I'm on AF, but when I'm not, that little heart is off. However, doctors say

Tikosyn and Eliquis Problems
I woke up with bradycardia on November 2, 2020 and had a pace maker put in same day.

No Afib since starting Ivermectin prophylaxis
I'm not making any claim. Just reporting my personal experience. (Photo: my weekend project. :) ) On Feb 19, 2021, I began the Ivermectin prophylaxis protocol for Covid protection, as outlined by FLCCC doctors. I have not had a single Afib episode since commencing this protocol. Prior to that, I had

Which high blood pressure medication does not affect RLS ?
Hi I have just been diagnosed as having high blood pressure and have been given Felodipine as my treatment but have noticed that it seems to be aggravating my RLS. Is there other medication which would be more suitable?

Ongoing AF with low HR
My AF seems to be back after four blissfully trouble-free years (for AF that is, not life in general, lol) . It started last Wednesday out of the blue and has continued ever since. Occasionally I get a reading on my Kardia of Sinus Rhythm with Supraventricular Ectopy, which is what I thought it was
