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
I’m new here. Had an episode of A-fib in March. Went to emergency to get it under control. Was put on flecainide and Eliquis. After several visits with electrophysicist was taken off flecainide after 2week wearing halter monitor. Ep said after 3 more months of no A-fib will do another 2weeks wearing

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

2 weeks and 2 days- unbearable
My 4 th night of no sleep and can feel myself getting more and more down in the dumps. I’m not expecting miracles, I’m not being impatient and am doing everything to take my mind off it, but here I am 2 weeks after my ablation with a heart rate of 144 which had been ongoing since Saturday. Back in touch

CBH and A.Fib
I am reasonably new and haven't posted before, but interested to know if anyone has been treated with Hemp Oil whilst taking anticoagulants.. I also have an inflammatory condition which I know it would help with the pain. Interested to know your experience. Thank you

Back in AFIB after 2 years free
Hello there! It’s been 1 hour since the bell rang! I’m back in AFIB after a little bit 2 years free. To be honest I was pretty sure this day will come but I was hoping he comes later. I turn 25 2 months ago and was almost forgetting what AFIB means? For now I am at home, I try to be as calm as possible

I've been on Metoprolol for about three years now (low dose, half a pill morning and night). Can I wean off of it? If so, how?
I have had Afib, once recently that I was able to reset holding my breath. I'm not on a blood thinner. I'd like to see if it can be managed without the meds. I'm 66 and otherwise healthy. I had a some high blood pressure but cut almost all salt out and got that under control. I'd like to use supplements

AF Story
Hi everyone, I thought I'd share my story so far to help anyone who is having a difficult time with similar issues. I'm 36 years old, male, 6ft and 13 stone with a slim and athletic build. I've always enjoyed all sports including cycling and running. I don't smoke but do enjoy a few beers at weekends

Pacemaker question
Met with my cardiologist last night. I had a very good day heart wise yesterday with no ectopics at all. That is very unusual for me. I had a severe afib event on Monday and had taken the maximum 300mg dosage. My cardio advised that the flec would probably been out of my system by yesterday. I was fitted

AF is back.
Until yesterday I had only had two episodes of PAF this year, in Jan and July. I had convinced myself that I could control the PAF with things like diet and exercise, and that since the number of episodes this year were fewer than last year, things were looking fairly good. Bart’s discharged me from
