Second ablation
I am also struggling with having a second ablation. While propafenone is stopping the AFIB, it is causing causing fatigue and weakness which is affecting my qol. I can not take anticoagulants so I have had Watchman device, pacemaker, and a first ablation. It was very successful for several years.

Afib once and done?
During a check-up back in October of 2020, I was found to be in afib. I was immediately put on Eliquis. Since October of 2020, I have never experienced another afib event. I was non-symptomatic when it was discovered and continue to be nonsymptomatic. I bought a Kardia device and check for afib 3x a

Are these symptoms an AFib episode or very frequent ectopics?
Had cardio version in November after being in continuous AFib since July when I had heart attack/cardiac arrest/stent. So in sinus rhythm. Then this last week every morning frequent ectopics/missed beats. Yesterday ectopics started really badly. I’m not sure if it was the ectopics (every 3/5 beats) or

I am considering transcranial magnetic imaging TMI. I’ve had a successful ablation and I am in sinus rhythm. Would this be safe?
TMI treats depression. Has anyone with a fib done this? Are there cardiac implications?

Anticoagulant for the first time during an Afib episode ?
Hello, Anticoagulant was prescribed. We hesitated. Got a kardia device and started to daily monitor the heart rhythm. This morning it hit: "possible atrial fibrillation". Note that apixaban, pradaxa and coumarin were prescribed (different doctors, different drugs). Hope has died. Afib doesn't seem to

Warfarin versus DOACS
Following the subconjunctival haemorrhage I got from taking Apixaban for a week, my GP has asked me if I would “like to try” warfarin as an alternative. This is, according to her, less likely to produce an eye bleed. I’m very dubious about this claim which conflicts with what I have read. Has anyone

AFIB IS STRESSING ME OUT!!!
I have been a healthy athelete (boxer) until I was 56 years old, thats when I started having afib episodes to the point of mentally blacking out not passing out and then the journey began. Was put in the hospital for three weeks and put on at the time an experimental drug (dofetelide) which worked extremely

Fermented soya/Afib query
Does anyone have Afib? I'm looking for natural alternatives to blood thinners and have seen Nattokinase and Serrapeptase recommended. However Natto is made from soya which I know is a no-no for us but is fermented soya OK? I've just started taking NAC but am concerned that taking K2 (with my D3) will

Lactoferrin and anticoagulants
I am a 78 old male with PAF. I take Eliquis, Flecainide and Bisoprolol. In these times of Covid a GP suggested to my son, who has no PAF, to take Lactoferrin as a preventative. I would like to take it as well, but I cannot find information on interactions between Lactoferrin and anticoagulants. Has

Has anyone else had a steady heart rhythm but changing rate?
Morning people. Woke up this morning and feel pretty weak. Heart rate on watch seemed to be jumping around quite a bit so I thought may be glitching. Checked with good old finger on wrist and confirmed that heart rate seems to be speeding up and slowing down yet weirdly is in rhythm and doesn’t seem

Omicron & AF
Just wondering if anyone else has had omicron yet and how it may have affected them? I went to a super spreader wedding on 10/12 and by late on the 12/12 was aware of a scratchy throat starting. Next day I had a dull headache and slight throat issue, so knew it was omicron. LF not showing on 13th

The Afib Project channel on YouTube
Interesting new video channel recently started over on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZjkFR0A-gQ6NXgV5pqrAjA/videos So far looked at cardiorespiratory fitness, Covid & AF, ideal waist size and is currently looking at magnesium supplementation.

Is my Kardia functioning normal ?
I purchased the Kardia 6 lead ecg recorder and every time I used it it says unclassified and it only detects atrial fibrillation which I know is not true because I’m in a persistent atrial flutter so I’m just wonder is there something defective because I keep seeing people with different message say

What is CHAD score?
2 months ago, I fainted 3 times in one day - 2 at home and the third time in the hospital lobby after being discharged from the ER. In the ER, they detected AFib and gave me cardizem intravenously. I spent the night in the hospital with a Holter monitor and no more episodes occurred. I was sent home

Only one Afib episode???
Hello everyone, I recently posted about having a flare up of ectopics whilst suffering from a cold/virus. (Update about that - they are lessening but still there) This flare up has got me thinking.... Quick history - I have suffered from 'heart flutters' since very young (I think I can remember complaining

Diagnosed with AFIB 3 months ago & stressed out
I was just recently diagnosed with AFIB. I went to lay down and the heart just started banging in my chest like a bunch of marbles let loose. Went to the emergency room and after a cardioversion and 30 hours of monitoring the cardiologist released me. This came totally out of the blue....I am slim,

Exercising on Amiodarone (and in Afib)
Hi - as the last throw of the dice I am taking Amiodarone (Arycor) until I get a cardioversion in January (will be my 7th on top of two ablations). So I am in a-fib - am trying to build my strength again - I do push ups, sit ups and other resistance training and alternate that with step ups on the garden

Persistent AF
HI all. I am taking 10mg Bisoprolol and Digoxin for persistent AF. I was due to have a cardioversion but as the meds seemed to be working I decided to swerve the cardioversion especially as I was told it was only a50/50 chance of success. My question is, should I take all the Bisoprolol at once?
