Is this A Fib
Hi all, I was diagnosed with PAF in October, I met with a group of friends yesterday and spent a couple of hours chatting, feeling absolutely fine, but when I looked at my FitBit later it recorded my heart rate at between 95 and 120 for 50 minutes. It doesn’t even do this when I’m out walking. The only

Ablation - worries
Hi everyone. I am on the waiting list at Glenfield Hospital in the UK for an ablation I have paroxysmal AF diagnosed in 2020 and I take Sotalol 40mg x 3 a day and Apixaban 5mg x 2 a day. My episodes have been infrequent around every 4 months but more recently every 2 months, having said that the last

Decision making
I am having a hard time justifying doing anything about my Afib since I feel really good most of the time. Even in Afib I'm pretty good except for the worrying and checking of my heart rate every little bit. I have recently backed out of an RF ablation and a Cryo ablation for fear of a poor outcome

I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal after a year of episodes getting longer and longer . I had a cardio version Sept then a very mild Afib that was controlled with Metoprolol in November. I am overdue now according to my tracking since last Nov (every 4-10 weeks) and I finally got my date for ablation

The RLS nightmare

Coming off Amiodarone
After developing Afib (thanks to Covid) I was put on amiodarone, bisoprolol and edoxaban. A terrible two to three weeks followed without a wink of sleep getting the amiodarone into my system. I had a cardioversion a few months later (delayed thanks to doctors and nurses strikes). That worked and I felt

Does metoprolol succinate cause nocturia
I am on Flecainide 25 mg in am and pm, and metoprolol succinate 25 mg in the am, and 2.5 mg eliquis in am & pm. Although bph can cause nocturia, has metoprolol succinate and eliquis also been known to cause it?

Sotalol
Since finding this site about 3 years ago i have found it to be a great source of information and gives me a lot of confidence in dealing with my AF. Since my first episode 4 years ago i have been taking anti-coagulants and bisoprolol. I had one episode per year for the first couple of years. Lasting

Bicalutamide and Eligard
PSA went up to 0.87. Doctor recommend Eligard (Lupron) with bicalutimide and dutasteride. No choice. I went thru thus on Jan 10, 2024. Hospital said I have to run thru Eligard for 24 months on a quarterly basis. Every 3 month. Doctor Said Eligard works only for 2 years, and I have to find another

How soon after taking 4 month eligard shot can you switch to firmagon?
I started my hormone treatment with firmagon + apalutamide beginning 2023. The treatment worked fantastic and all my pain faded away and my psa dropped from 350 to .09 over 11 months. My life was as near normal as can be expected with cancer. Almost immediately my MO was recomending to switch to 4

Tremors and flutters.
My heart feels like it's trembling and fluttering most of the time . Makes me feel quite unwell. Had a Cardioversion , heart rate not bad now but still got these awful symptoms. Could it be Atrial ectopics . Anyone else like this ?

So fed up
I was first diagnosed in May 23 with PAF and Bisoprolol kept everything under control under until another AFib episode in October. Since then I have been on Flecainide 50g morning and night and bisopropol 2.5 morning and night. I don’t feel my heart as much but my Apple Watch is showing an average

Cut loose from hospital support
I posted a few days ago about turning down the offer of a second ablation as I've been in NSR for 12 months. My arrhythmia nurse has just phoned and pointed out that, as I am 71, my time may be running out for the option of further ablations! Am I correct in thinking that there are plenty of people

Post Cardioversion
In my previous post I explained that my 3rd carioversion did not work even after one hour I was back into afib. However something strange is happening or at least it seems strange to me but may be normal. Five days after my cardio I got up around 2:30-3:00 am to use the loo. I could feel my heart in

amiodarone
Was admitted via A&E to hospital last October with fast AF, 174 bpm., Sob, high bp. Because of other underlying problems with CKD, doc put me on Amiodarone 200mg daily, along with Nebivolol bi-daily, replacing Bisoprolol. Was discharged after 6 days when heart rate was consistently below 80bpm. Now

Hand grip training for lowering blood pressure?
Good morning all you helpful people. I’ve just heard a fascinating thing on the Zoe podcast, about hand grip strength and high blood pressure. Apparently, using a hand-held device to strengthen your hand grip over several weeks can effectively lower your blood pressure. I’ve had a look online, and it

Hello
Introducing myself, as I'll be looking through posts in the coming weeks... I'm 61, recently diagnosed with AF, but reckon I've been suffering for about 2 years. Biosprolol, Apixaban and Digoxin. Due to do the 'zaps' in 8-12 weeks.

Seeking advise about an implantable loop recorder.
I am a 72 year old male in good health. I had persistent AFIB for many years – probably caused by 40 years of alcoholism. Four years ago, I quit drinking after a mild stroke and began exercising religiously and adhering to a healthy diet. A little over a year ago I had an ablation done, and now I take
