Happy Day!
A few weeks ago I had my annual appointment (an on-line one this time) with my EP, Dr. Rodney Horton at TCAI in Austin. He told me that my chance of my Afib being fixed are statistically 96 percent. I do not need to follow up with him unless my heart decides to act up again. I am thrilled as it has been

To ablate or not ablate, that is the question...
I had a successful (so far), cardioversion nearly 8 weeks ago. I spoke to my cardiologist yesterday and he said we are only managing my AFib, with medication and strict lifestyle change. He wants me to consider an ablation as if it is successful then it will ‘fix’ the problem as opposed to just managing

What are typical second line treatment options for afib?
Background: I’m 28 years old no heart issues. Had blood test, normal echo results, have normal weight and BMI. I’ve had my first two bouts of afib this year. Unsure what caused them. But my first was when i broke my arm. My Cardiologist says not to worry due to my age and basically 0% stroke risk. I

Can I take KALMS with Bisoprolol?
Hello everyone, Do you happen to know if KALMS can be taken if I have PAfib and take Bisoprolol? I have only ever had two attacks (after too much caffeine and going through peri-menopause) and don't want to risk anything. I'm also taking Evening Primrose Oil, which I am assuming is fine? Julia

Ablation "wish" granted
I have been asking my really reassuring Cardiologist Dr Ben Brown how quickly I could get an ablation for several weeks now. I have had my paroxysmal Afib for 2 years that move to Persistent about 6 months ago with an episode of heart rate 120-150bpm lasting about 6-13 days every 2 weeks or so. Flecainide

From high to low blood pressure
I had an episode of high blood pressure, resulting in me taking Bisoprolol and apixiban. After three weeks I had low blood pressure and went back to hospital where they took me off Bisoprolol and said this was what was causing the low blood pressure. I have been off them for three days now and my blood

Frightening hospital stay and advice needed can't go on at home like this!
Feel dreadful and would so appreciate some advice! I follow alot of this forum on AF and have done for 4 years. I find it so helpful and all you afibbers understand how awful it feels. I had AF diagnosed after a stressful time caring for my own mum when she was ill and it started just before she died

Do you know when you're having afib?
I had afib for six months before an ablation in November 2016. In October I'd started using a CPAP machine. I also have a Pacemaker for bradycardia; it keeps track of any afib episodes, and I've had none since the ablation. The question is whether I should stay on the Xeralto, blood thinner to counter

Felling frustrated after a wobble
Good morning everyone, I hope your having a nice Sunday. I was feeling really well yesterday and as the weather was fresher decided to go for a walk to my local small supermarket. The walk has a couple of inclines but have managed these 'no bother' in the past, However yesterday I suddenly felt as though

Permanent a fib
Hi all. I met with my cardiologist this week and he confirmed I have enlarged heart and permanent a fib. I have been feeling quite good over past couple of weeks because I have not had the terrible nausea and sicky feeling I was getting on most of my meds. As I do not have any furring of the arteries

Metoprolol
Hello everyone, I am feeling rather low and not very well. I have to take Ciprofloxacin antibiotic for a chest infection which has pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in my lungs. I can’t take Flecainide as my pill in the pocket if I have an AF episode. The doctor has told me to take 25mgs of metoprolol

Pacemaker & daily meds for AFib, what can I expect?
I am interested to hear from anyone with experience about having a pacemaker installed and then daily AFib medications - I think I will be given something called Flecainide. As my HR falls into the 30's and 40's I can't take anything daily, the pacemaker will address that. Right now I have AFib attacks
