CRT Pacemaker and AV Ablation
After four lots of Cardioversion, two lots of Catheter Ablation and multiple meds, which are either ineffective or make me feel 'strange', I have been listed to have a Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Pacemaker fitted, followed by AV Ablation. It's more than a bit scary because, once the AV node has

Suddenly feeling faint
Am on sotalol 80mg twice a day. Have atrial fibrillation and ectopic beats but sometimes and without warning I suddenly come over very faint as if I'm going to pass out (very frightening) and then my heart goes like the clappers. Any suggestions please on what could be the cause?

Tachycardia causes AF?
Just came across an interesting article with the hypothesis that sustained high heart rate may rewire the heart to cause AF. https://heart.bmj.com/content/80/6/533?ijkey=ae1a07a271518dd8fa53091b6be36327e3cd97bb&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha Atrial fibrillation in the structurally normal human heart: a hypothesis

Oops! That’s why?
After nearly 11 months since AFib was diagnosed with its additional pills I have been wondering why the cardiologist hasn’t taken any notice of me? Just one measly call last May 1st. I’m not a horrible person and I was getting bothered by the absence of ‘cast iron’ info from the boss, so to speak. But

Eliquis stopping for surgery.
you can go off for a short time. week sound long but each surgery has risk of bleeding. Don't know if Eloquis has a medication that with stop flow. Med advise is all over the place because of big pharma on tv,, Make sure AFIB is under control before stopping. KNow I had to go on Wafrin and other

Cost of a private ablation in the UK?
Hi, I'm considering having an ablation as I have really struggled with the meds, and as I'm asthmatic my options are limited. I was very unwell on Bisoprolol and it didn't stop my attacks of fast AF in the night, and I'm now on Diltiazem which is not keeping me in rhythm, and I suspect is actually adversely

Magnesium
Hello friends, Is it better to take magnesium taurate than magnesium glycinate for afib? Or is it trial and error to see what works best?

Excercise induced AF and Ectopic beats

My experience of living with Permanent Atrial Fibrillation: a piece of cake
After a failed second ablation, my EP said he couldn’t do anything more unless pace and ablate became necessary in the future. His colleague, recently appointed, suggested a third, which I thought about until my turn came 12 months later when I decided against. After 2 years with permanent atrial fibrillation

Preserved LV Systolic function
Does anyone know what this is? This was on a letter as diagnosis from cardiologist to my GP in addition to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation but was never mentioned to me.

Pace and Ablate for Persistent A fib - Your Experiences?
Hi Whilst in hospital over Christmas, it was decided upon a pace and ablate for my a fib which is now persistent and has given me cardiac decompensation. However, there was a U turn and the consultants decided to try me on further drugs and give them a bit of time first. I was discharged on 10 mg bisoprolol

Unexpected Fast AF
I posted earlier about some AF which started this morning at 0130. I took various Kardia readings and discovered that the heart was beating at about 75-85 bpm for several hours. When I got up at about 0900, however, the reading shot up to 146 bpm, then, very surprisingly, 10 minutes later after taking

left side of my face slightly swollen and slightly warm
Good morning! I know we're not medically trained but I've had this on and off and sometimes I possibly don't notice, but in the morning the left side of my face is a bit swollen and a bit warm. I don't want to bother the doctor if it's just a side affect of Fleccainide or Bisoprolol or something.
