Ablation update
Hi all, thanks for all your thoughts and best wishes. I had the Ablation done yesterday morning. I’m home now, just. Blood pressure gradually going up, it was very low. I’m NSR and was before and during the procedure. I didn’t have TOE because anaesthetist said not to because of my ‘complicated upper

Morning after Orchiectomy...life in the slow lane.
Well, I had the orchiectomy surgery around 3 pm yesterday and left the hospital packed tightly down there....Got nervous about peeing...but it was a breeze (before I left). Was feeling some pretty decent weird pain....got home and made a quick dinner of thinly sliced prime rib in au jus with horseradish

I am posting this as it might help some off you who like me are still able and fortunate enough to exercise whilst in AF. My AF had been under control for around 13 years after an Ablation and staying on Flecainide. I had to come off Flecainide in April after discovering some Coronary Artery disease

Amiodarone and side effects
Hi everyone, I have just received a letter from my cardiologist saying that I am going to be put on Amiodarone to help keep me in rhythm after my cardioversion. After researching the drug I see it’s a black box drug with toxic nasty side effects. Is it ok for me to refuse to take it and ask for an

Double Beats? Advice
I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AF earlier this year and would welcome comments re. a new observation in my hand-held ECG outputs showing double beats occasionally. Note that it can take 3 months for a cardio chat so I thought getting input from this excellent forum would be a good first step. Background

Diuretics and BTK Inhibitors
Wondering if anyone is on diuretics/water pill such as lasix or aldactone, while taking ibrutinib/ BTK inhibitors. Wondering how this affects hydration. Confused if we drink lots of water to flush out bad cells, or to stay hydrated. If we want to stay hydrated, seems like it would be difficult while

Heck getting older
Hi all. 9 am here in Deland FL where I'm at in the hospital. Drs came in awhile ago. All tests so far came back negative. That's good news. Saw the cardio Dr and we discussed the Eliquis and the side effect of angina. Yes it is a side effect. Doesn't want to switch me off Eliquis which I don't want to

Loss of sight after a stroke
My husband had a stroke after heart valve replacement surgery. He has lost his sight. No one can tell me what to expect next. Has anyone on here been in the same situation?

Gastrointestinal problems
Not sure this is a thyroid problem. But have had bad IBS and steatorrhoea. After being robbed off for two years a locum lady doctor was helpful and I had a stool test. After three weeks it is still not back and when I rang surgery they said sometimes it can take 6 weeks. Just wondering why it is taking

Has anyone experienced intermittent atrial tachycardia? Comes and goes every few minutes for the last six weeks.
I have a congenital heart defect which resulted in me needing five open heart surgeries in childhood. When I was 28 (in 2014) I had my first episode of sustained atrial flutter, which my EP believed was caused by scarring to the atrium following my surgeries. I've had four cardioversions and four ablations
