Latest diagnosis. After been diagnosed with A fib after an emergency visit to hospital 6 weeks ago I was put on beta blockers and blood anticoagulant. After experiencing months of breathlessness. Thought I had a chest infection. No improvement! This appointment with the cardiologist I had an echocardiogram

hi, I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AF two years ago and have recently undergone an ablation. I have become an avid reader of all things a fib related and feel that the more knowledge I have the easier it is to understand and try and cope with the stresses of this condition.

Vagus Nerve and Afib Questions
Folks, Can I test out a few elements of my understanding of the vagus nerve and vagally induced Afib with any of you that understand it better than I do please? 1. Vagally induced Afib is triggered by an over-active or over-stimulated vagus nerve, which in a sense means that you are too calm or relaxed

4 weeks after Pfizer Biotech vaccine
Up until 4 weeks ago I was in control of my afib with life style changes and Flecainide, then I had a COVID booster vaccine and it's all gone out of the window. For a few days immediately after the vaccine I was a little poorly and my heart readings were all over the shop. Since then I have had periods

update on speaking with nurse.
So I had to do fibricheck for a week for Nurse and apart from one bad episode of AFIB all the others are eptopics. I’ve upped my Bisoprolol for now if that don’t work then I have to up the flecainide. That’s the one I don’t want to up. I have been given the all clear to get back to my HGV job so that

Somewhat in limbo
Hi all I've been under investigation for AF for a couple of months now. (A previous post goes into the details a bit, but TL;DR: I'm a mid-life crisis endurance runner with no-symptom atrial fibrillation and flutter.) Since that post, the echocardiogram ordered by my GP was conducted. The cardiologist

Anyone with heart scar tissue?
I have been in the Afib forum for a year and half. Thanks to what I learned in this wonderful forum, I made some lifestyle adjustmemts that kept me out of Afib. I found out I had some scar tissue after a heart MRI following a sustained ventricular tachycardia cardiac arrest in 2021, I am on beta blocker

Abilation
Hi allI had my AVR done in May this year, initially I had issues with heart rate jumping around 147. My medications were Bisoprolol 7.5 mg along with standard water tablets and blood thinners.Couple of months after the procedure I had to go A&E for this heart rate procedure but I was either given digoxin

So now I'm a bit scared.
I posted about deciding to do an ablation consult the other day, I have that scheduled for Dec 30th. Well that evening the 23rd I had a new arrhythmia show up. I sent it to Kardia clinician review, and they said it was ventricular tachycardia. The sort of rhythm that when sustained can lead to ventricular

Afib worse than before ablation
I had the most glorious day in 3 years on the 4th day after my first ablation, which the doc said went great. The first three days were tougher because I had a sort throat, fever, then a migraine. But on day 4 I felt incredible…until about 9:30pm when my watch told me I was in afib again. And then

Any ideas/stories about treating PAC’s??
Had ablation in May of this year for lone AFib. Structurally normal heart. Had mild runs of PACs prior to the procedure that would come and go. Now going on 7 months after procedure and they are more bothersome than the AFib was. Last for hours and/or days on end. It’s really wearing me down. I’ve tried

A-Flutter Ablation Success
How many have had an a-flutter ablation and it lasted? My doctor made it sound like its one and done for a long time to come but the more I read, the more it makes me think it's just temporary and a way of life to have to keep going in or then possibly have to get another one for Afib very soon after

Cox maze: anyone had this procedure?
Hi all just booked for a private consult with cardiothoraticic surgeon in northwest, hopefully for Cox maze procedure for afib. Was in a+e for 14 hours yesterday on monitors...sent me home, still in AFib. Long story, but bit by bit I am finding out that treatment for my AFib is very limited due to other

I am back again sorry if I wrote this last night.
almost a month ago I had a cardioversion and it was amazing. I have been dealing with a heart rate in the 150s since the end of April. When I woke up from the CV it was 82. I actually had a smile as I awoke. I did not even know my heart rate was down yet so maybe it was the drugs lol but I felt happier

Metoprolol
I have a CT angiogram tomorrow at 0830 and have been given two tablets of Metoprolol (50mg) to take 12 hrs and then 2hrs before the procedure. This is apparently to slow the heart down (to below 60bpm). I rang the hospital and told them that I already take Sotalol and my heart rate is generally slow

Was there a trigger for your symptoms Mine was likely the death of a loved one 🥹
my symptoms all started after the death of my dad at the end of 2019 - I first started to take them ‘seriously ‘ in feb / March 2020 . Although the diagnostic process was long - as most of you will know - the consultant felt it was likely that this Emotional trauma was my trigger . Just wondered

Advice please
Since starting on the steroid journey I have experienced palpitations and high blood pressure. The palpitations were controlled by beta blockers and since reducing the steroid dose my blood pressure is back to normal. However my heart rate is not! I’ve reduced the beta blockers because my pulse was
