Too much propafenone?
My cardiologist and I were hoping to reduce propafenone from 150mg 3x daily to 100mg. But I’ve been having a lot of afib and tachycardia recently. Today after a bad morning and afternoon I had messaged w my doctor about instead increasing to 200mg thrice daily, Funny enough, things settled down just

Merry Christmas from a very hot Perth
Thinking of you all at the moment, especially those of you spending Christmas in lockdown. It’s 40 degrees C here at the moment and our air conditioner decided to die (great timing - will have to wait until the holidays are over before we can get it fixed). Christmas lunch tomorrow is at my brother’s

Difference between Afib and atrial flutter
I’ve been told by my EP that I have shifted from Afib to atrial flutter. I have had a cryoballoon ablation, two radio-frequency ablations, two cardioversions. I’m on metoprolol Tartrate and flecainide. What precisely IS the difference between Afib and flutter? Will a fourth ablation help?

4 weeks post ablation - what are the fluttery feelings?
I had an ablation 4 weeks ago, I had a short history of 4 episodes of vagal triggered AF each about eight hour duration, since June, after a couple of episodes four years ago. Apart from those bits of AF, I sometimes had skipped beats if anxious but nothing else. Since the ablation I have had fluttery

Update on flecainide maintenance dose
I posted on here a couple of weeks ago regarding my afib and pac’s. When I seen my cardiologist after having a holter monitor on for 24hours he told me that I hadn’t gone in to afib but had multiple ectopics (up to 10000) in the 24 hours. They were from the atria not the ventricles. I then went on flecainide

Funky day,
Just had atrial flutter I think but I kicked off my anxiety, sucks. Anyone ever had that feeling of the heart being like squeezed slightly or like it's preparing to go into an arrythmia, then when it happens it releases? I feel that slight squeezing. Bracing myself for it. I have a loop recorder

Post ablation update
Hello I’m now just over three months post ablation. It was my third and under GA. like the other two. Today I had my post op consultation with with Mr Sporton of Barts which was changed for a phone consultation. I was told I’ve now got to accept I’m in permanent AFIB which I had anyway. He’s suggested

Please Retain the Evidence
In my post yesterday I mentioned that my E.P. discovered that I suffered from atrial flutter as well as atrial fibrillation. This proved to be very important to the outcome of my ablation as he was able to treat both. I am not sure how things would have turned out otherwise. The reason he was able to

Just self-converted, due to exercise I think
I just spontaneously converted to NSR 2 hours ago after a 2-day afib episode. It happened during or right after a brisk 30-minute walk. The previous episode, I converted while working outside doing strenuous stuff in the cold to repair some gutters. I keep a detailed "Afib Diary" because I am always

AF and cold water swimming
Hi, I haven't been on for some time as my AF has been at peace for 10 months! Suddenly out of the blue it started a few days ago and apart feeling tired, I'm ok. No palpitations just irregular feint pulse. I have been sea swimming 4 or 5 days a week and as the water has got colder, reducing swim time

Newly diagnosed with AFIB. Very stressed out and scared!
Hello everyone! I'm a new AFIB sufferer, and I thought I'd post here just to feel a little more like I'm not alone. I'm a 30 year old obese non smoker, no drugs, very occasional light drinking, and I have AFIB now. Two days ago I felt off, and I noticed that my heart rhythm wasn't right. I've had lifelong

Does castration effectively knock down the PSA?
Going to see doc in the morning. Had 2 lupron shots. PSA still at 156. Came down from 300 with first shot but not coming down with second shot. Wondering if there is a more potent shot. I want to get castration but having a problem getting DR to perform procedure without going through every alternative

A Sea Change
We are on hospice now. Every day takes another thing away. Mobility was Tuesday. Eating apparently went today. My husband was diagnosed end of March, 2019. Things have continued to march on, despite promises of years. I guess someone has to bring down the average. We sought out the best doctor in the

Quitting Eliquis

Anyone here taking ONLY Bisoprolol daily for Paroxysmal Afib - it seems great!?
Hello, I started on this regime 6 days ago after a bad reaction to a month of daily Flecainide and so far it seems like a wonder drug! No episodes and not even feeling anywhere near one. Prior to the Flecainide debacle I was having around 4-6 episodes per month, so six days without episodes is not unusual

Three weeks after ablation 2
I hardly dare write this but I have now had 3 afib free weeks for the first time in 2 years. I am trying really hard to relax and be really careful with overdoing it but I feel great! I do have more ectopics ( maybe 1 or 2 every 5 mins than I remember but I think I am super “ heart aware” So after
