Fibro, Buprenorphine Patches and CBD Oil
Is there anyone that can give me any good advice. Over a good many years I was on a cocktail of pain medications. In the last couple I have managed to take myself off the pills but still remain on the Buprenorphine patch and anti-depressants. Because of being unsure if the patch was actually working

Following up on alcohol and Afib
The following article was on Medscape and you most likely need to create a log in, but I thought it very interesting and a good update on the recent post about alcohol and Afib on this forum. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/950938 It's entitled: "Even One Drink Doubles Risk for Afib Within 4 Hours

How Long Does It Take For ‘Moderately Enlarged Left Atrium’ To Revert Back To Size?
Hi there, An echocardiogram showed I have a moderately enlarged left atrium that is causing my 24*7 AF. I am on amiodorone 200mg daily and no longer in AF; I feel great! Ive made lifestyle adjustments - 90% less alcohol, no endurance exercise, decaf coffee only and more sensible food choices. I will

Fingers crossed ! Sotalol
Hi all. Been to back to the hospital today and it sounds like good news. They have taken me off Bisoprolol and put me on Sotalol (40 mg twice a day). I am so pleased to be off Bisoprolol. I don't want that to put others off from taking it as it ticks the boxes (for me) regarding lowering my HR. We are

Doc doesn't want to prescribe beta blocker
My 31 year old son has developed tachycardia after getting his 2d shot of Moderna. He has been to a cardiologist who gave him an echocardiogram (no stress test) and then sent him on his way. So he finally got a primary care that started him on propranolol which is working wonders (tho he needs an extra

What happens if I can’t take flecainide anymore?
Hi. I’m 54. PAF for 15 years. 17 episodes during this time. On the waiting list for an ablation. I have been taking flecainide for 6 months. 3 months ago it was increased from 100mg to 200 mg per day. I also take 2.5-5 mg bisoprolol. My heart is working fine otherwise. No issues on the echocardiogram

A Fib and under active thyroid
Hello! Does anybody have any information on the relationship between an underactive thyroid and A Fib, please? I'm newly diagnosed with A Fib. I'm keeping it under control (touch wood) by managing my triggers. I've had a slightly underactive thyroid for some time. It's not so bad that I need medication

DOES PROMETHAZINE HYDROCHLORIDE CAUSE ATRIAL FIBRILLATION?
I take 2.5 mg Bisoprolol in the mornings and 2.5 in the evenings and 100mg Flecainide as PIP for atrial fibrillation, which I'm not getting frequently at the moment. My GP has prescribed 10mg Promethazine Hydrochloride to help with sleeping, but I've read that it can cause fibrillation and flutter.

Booze and AFIB
I am sure this has been flogged to death numerous times...but...the no vs a little beer or wine issue. The general consensus is..zero..none..ever. BUT, I have always enjoyed a glass of Merlot or a glass of IPA on occasion. I am not, not ever have been a person who has more than 3 or 4 drinks in the course

Amiodarone ... ahead of potential cardioversion ...
Hi All I haven't posted for a while as I've been awaiting developments in my AF treatment. Diagnosed 18 months ago, nearly 57 years old, been suggested by cardiologist to try amiodarone before a potential cardioversion but the side effect possibilities worry me greatly, has anyone got any experience

Atrial fibrillation
Have any of you been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation during your PMR journey? Last weekend I had heart palpitations and in a panic my husband called emergency services and the paramedics took me to hospital where I was stabilised and diagnosed with the above! They wanted to start me on anticoagulants

Hiya all. Well I'm right back in it. Feel really poorly TBH. Never have I felt as bad as this with afib. Still after being in sinus for a few years it's be to expected I guess. It will pass as my body adjusts to my new heart rate. 80 bpm one minute and 57 the next. The Bisoprolol knocks you for six but
