Ectopics and flecainide
Morning everyone. I have posted here recently concerning flecainide and received some very helpful information. Since being recommended this drug for my ectopic beats (which I have tried to 'live with') by an EP, my consultant has since suggested I try it as a pill in the pocket. The recommended dosage

Ideas to try to help fall asleep
I was thinking some of the drugs that help PC may also have effects such as insomnia, but I don't know sure. I have trouble myself, sleeping at times. For me, I know it is because my mind won't shut off, I am a worrier. Here are a couple things that may help to fall asleep. Try to wind down at

Third Ablation
I had my third ablation two days ago. My EP was very pleased with the procedure and I was in normal sinus right after but about eight hours later I went back into AFib. I was so disappointed. However, he assured me the ablation was a success but it will take a little while for the heart to recover. I

Adrenals or Not Adrenals
Well, further to my post last week, I've had the results of both my faecal occult blood test (for new re-occurring digestive issues) and BNP blood test (for indications of heart failure) and all have come back normal with no further action required. The extreme fatigue has improved significantly

Update on my Pace and Ablate
Last Friday I went for the ablation of my sinus node in great trepidation but I needn't have worried as it all went like clockwork. The sedation was wonderful and I was back on the ward within an hour and home in time for tea! The first couple of days were a bit uncomfortable and I dropped off the

Is ADT beneficial after castration resistance sets in?
If PSA is rising at the same doubling time (3 weeks) as it was without ADT (when I was Castration sensitive and did intermittent ADT breaks), then is it useful to keep taking ADT? If so, why? Is that because the ADT would be slowing some castration sensitive cancer, even though the castration resistant

Suddenly Glad....
In my first post to the community, I was wondering if I should get an ablation or not, based on the advice of a somewhat snarky cardiologist. Since then, I have had a second opinion from both a new cardiologist and a new electrophysiologist. BOTH said they saw no reason to rush into this. The cardiologist

Feeling really down
I am week 7 post my first cryoablation for paroxysmal AFib. For the first week or so I had NSR fluctuations with mild AFib. Since 6th September I have been in constant AFib with HR ranging from 80-120bpm. I have tried and failed to get any real advice from AFib nurses and the EP who did my procedure

Post Ablation change in meds
I have/had PAF and had been taking Sotalol 120 2x daily, Diltiazem 120 1x and Eliquis before my ablation which occurred in January 2022. Since I had no further occurrences of Afib, my EP reduced the Sotalol to 80 2x in April. During my follow up visit with my EP this week he discontinued the Sotalol

Has anyone used a TENS machine to stimulate the Vagus nerve via the ear to reduce Afib?
I have Vagal Afib and recently started using a tens machine on my left ear twice daily for 15 minutes. Applied to the Concha in the ear and the ear lobe to complete the circuit. 20hZ at 200 microseconds, wetting the ear and contacts with some saliva to get a good connection. I discovered 2 months ago

Afib has reared its ugly head again big time, for me.
After years of calm, when I only had an occasional flutter , Afib started again in April following which I had three or four episodes lasting a few hours. On Sunday I was sitting down reading and it started again, expecting it to last just the usual six of seven hours I was still in Af on Tuesday

How to stop irregular heartbeat and is there medicine to take for this
I just had an irregular heartbeat for 14 ½ hours. My blood pressure was down during part of this time. Lowest point 78/60 my heart beat was not above 93 at the highest point, it was fluctuating. I didn’t know how to get this to stop and return to normal. Is there medicine that I can take for this

NT-proBNP Level query
Trying to line up a few questions for a Cardio call in December and cannot seem to find this bit out. My last Se N-term pro BNP conc result was 444 ng/L, is this the same as pg/mL? It came back as abnormal with normal given as 0-400, I`m 66, so could I have Heart failure as no one has said I have.

How long does Bisoprolol take to work
Hi everyone. New to this forum. Diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation just this weekend, 19 hours in hospital assessment unit, & treatment with Bisoprolol (10mg). Am on 10mg daily now, and have taken today's. Heart is still way too fast though - 90-110 resting. Any idea when it should revert to normal?

Do you live in the US? It is your last chance to Preserve Critical Catheter Ablation Access for AFIB Patients
To whom It may concern Last Chance to Preserve Critical Catheter Ablation Access for AFIB Patients. Recently we alerted you to a proposed draconian 40% cut in CMS payments to electrophysiologists (EPs) for performing AF catheter ablations. As previously mentioned, these cuts would cause long term catastrophic
