Palpitations at night
I had a third ablation nearly three weeks ago and am in sinus rhythm, but I'm having trouble sleeping because of an uncomfortable thumping heart when I go to bed, that keeps me awake for a while, though it's OK in the mornings. After the ablation my consultant told me to halve my Bisoprolol dose,

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION & PMR
After a long, uncomfortable night in the assessment dept of my local hospital I've been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, essentially an irregular heart rhythm which can be very very fast. Felt sick and faint out on a walk earlier, and didn’t get better as time went on. Consultant thinks it may be

What happens next please?
Advice sought from those further on the path please. I had a successful cardio version in July after 6.5 months of high rate permanent AF not well controlled by digoxin, bisoprolol, furosemide, and apixaban. I was told to just stop the digoxin after the cardio version which left me on 10mg of bisoprolol

Bisopropol and heart rate
Hello again everyone and thank you for your helpful replies on my recent posting. I am still in persistent Afib since September and have not heard from anyone with an appointment (although I have spoken to PALS and they are looking into my situation) I have been experimenting with Bisopropol and find

Myocardial perfusion test results
I had the myocardial perfusion test back in July to rule out coronary artery problems causing my episodes of breathlessness. Promised the results in 2 weeks but have only just had them following numerous ephone calls to various departments at the heart institute. I have not been told the test was 'positive

A vagal manoeuvre to try…
Hello All, I wanted to share with you something that worked for me a couple of weeks ago for my paroxysmal Afib. We had friends over and I took a risk, of not only a very spicy Indian takeaway meal, but it arrived very late and I went to bed just over two hours after eating it 😳 so a double risky combination

Calquence and mouth issues?
I’m wondering if anyone taking Calquence has experienced white patches in their mouth? My dentist noticed I have one on my tongue side of gums. It doesn’t hurt and can’t be scraped off (fits the description of leukoplakia when I Google). My dentist thought it looked like trauma and said to call if it

Clarification needed regarding the abbreviation "PAF"
I don't follow the postings here very often, so my apologies if my question is redundant or one I ought to know the answer to. I was just reading a post where there was a question about the use of anti-coagulants. The poster and several respondents used the abbreviation "PAF." My first thought was

Do you know the symptoms associated with a heart rhythm disorder? 🤔
Could your heart rhythm problem be dangerous... ✅ Do you experience breathlessness or shortness of breath? ✅ Do you feel chest pain\discomfort? ✅ Do you often suffer from light-headedness? ✅ Do you have a rapid or irregular heart rate? ✅ Do you experience fainting? ✅ Do you experience fatigue?

Palpitations V Afib
Hello everyone. I know some of you are pretty slick with your understanding of ECG readings and I am hoping you can help me with mine. I have had a Kardia device since being diagnosed with Afib in 2017. I find it reassuring when I am mildly worried and get NSR readings, but worrying when I get other

how to exercise with AFib?
I am new with AFib, just a week into it, 61 years old. I am very anxious now about this, as I am breathless even on an easy walk. I am taking bisoprolol after I ended up in hospital with a Heart rate that wouldn’t come down until they gave me this medication. I have until this point always been super

Are Anticoagulants necessary?
I was diagnosed with PAF over two years ago following two episodes of fast AF which lasted for less than six hours. I was given IV Metoprolol in A&E and discharged on Bisoprolol 1.25mg daily. I have been well and active since but my cardiologist is keen for me to take anticoagulants as my CHADsVASc

RECOVERY FROM PULSED FIELD CATHETER ABLATION – ANYONE HAD ONE YET?
Some of you may have seen my recent update post relating to my decision to have a catheter ablation to try and sort out my early persistent AF (which was tolerable in terms of symptoms at the time). The decision was swayed for an active/invasive intervention when I was offered a relatively new procedure

More decisions!!
Well I saw Dr Pepper yesterday and all much as expected. I've moved to persistent AF and a cardioversion would be pointless. I keep self converting the back to AF. Sob. So options are... Live with it as long as my rate comes down to the 80s, so will be trying Digoxin after my holiday in Norfolk.

Can a med be cause this reaction
Hello all, I was diagnosed with Afib in July 2020. I had a cardioversion and returned to sinus rhythm. I was put on Eliquis and Diltiazem in Dec 2020. Since that time if I get hot my skin becomes very prickly like someone is snapping elastics all over my body. I then seek out a cool place quickly

Ablation on Monday!
I recd a telephone call from Cardiology offering me an Ablation for Monday 26 Sept 2022. My husband advised me to take it, so I accepted the offer. I did query why I had been offered this so quickly as only diagnosed with Atrial Flutter in June 2022. Apparently it is due to the fact I am unable to

Excessive urination
Does anyone here suffer with excessive urination when having an afib episode,? I am very symptomatic and although I take sotalol and apixaban I still get some afib episodes (usuly 1 every 4 months). When this happens I am urinating every 10 mins or so and then when I come out of afib I can sleep most

Thyroid or AFib Symptom
I’ve been reading Greygoose advice to another member re discomfort in the neck possibly being Thyroid related. I have had discomfort - not pain as such - in the hollow in the front of my neck just above the clavicle. It feels like I’ve swallowed a golf ball! No swelling. I am in continuous AFib and

Ecg results
I had an ecg this morning and it said that my systolic reading was 88mmhg and my diastolic was 50mmhg. The nurse said that my blood pressure was a bit low 88/50mmhg. I don't know what will happen whether or not I will be put on medication or not. I am really worried. I just hope when I see the doctor
