TikTok User Evie Clayton thought she was battling anxiety for almost a decade; however, her Apple watch detected an arrythmia through an ECG which later helped her get a diagnosis of Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a recording of the electrical signal from the heart

I felt so pleased having gone 14 weeks without an AF attack then bang, had one at the beginning of the week. Took my pill in the pocket and all calmed down, then later in the day I started to get an intermittent sharp pain in my left chest area. Eventually called 999 and was taken to A&E, two hours outside

In 5 years of taking Apixaban 5mgs twice a day, I have never had any evidence of unusual bleeding. No bruising beyond expected, no nosebleeds after blowing my nose, no bleeding after having blood taken. I took warfarin before Apixaban and I had all of those with warfarin. So I wonder whether I may be

hi everyone, I was told recently that my Apple Watch ECG had picked up a few ectopic beats, I hadn’t really noticed them . this week however they have kicked off big time and I’m wondering if this is common in Afib , and how do we know the difference between a pause or a missed beat . I have anxiety

hi everyone, I had an SVT ablation last Friday. It was meant to be straightforward and solve my SVTs but the consultant said that everytime they tried to induce tachycardia during EPS my heart would go into Afib. They tried three times and then ablated the most obvious part without knowing if it would

Morning everyone. Just wondered if anyone could help me with this. I take 75mg Flecainide twice a day plus Apixaban and Bisoprolol and am going to be travelling to Miami in March. Obviously the time difference will throw my tablet taking right out. I travel for 10 hours but basically am in the day/morning

I found another rabbit hole. I'm talking about the HRV section at the bottom of Page 1 of a Wellue ECG Report. That's the section with SDNN, RMSSD, SDANN, and so forth. I found a website that discusses these things, and tries to sell a service. https://welltory.com/rmssd-and-other-hrv-measurements

Hi all, thank you for letting me join. Diagnosed with intermittent AF in January 23. Felt it was getting more frequent so saw consultant. It was originally with high heart rate but now getting missed beats and slow heart rate (40 s) too. Consultant thinks could be sick sinus and I’ve just had a 72 hour

I wonder if anyone has an advice on the subject of changing time zone and taking meds. We are off on a holiday to Japan and I’m getting stressed about how we adjust my hubby’s medication. He keeps telling me not to worry and he will do it but I’m the ‘detail’ one and planner in our partnership and I

Hi all, as someone diagnosed with Paroxysmal AF, treated with Bisoprolol and Apixaban I was wondering what others experiences are when on the cusp of going into AF, for me for no apparent reason I feel a flutter in the chest then my heart increases to somewhere around 200 BPM for a few seconds then settles

I am a 70 year old active fit Canadian male who was diagnosed with lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation about five years ago. After my initial diagnosis by a cardiologist I was prescribed flecainide, apixaban, and rosuvastatin. The flecainide has kept me free from afib symptoms for more than four years

Had P&A last Tuesday. Went very smoothly. Doc did the a/v node ablation through the pacemaker chest opening instead of through the groin. So there is only a single wound that needs to heal. They used some sort of new-fangled surgical glue, so I don't even have obvious external stitches or bandages and

I have a question for you all. My situation is a bit different as I do not have Afib, but have been dealing with Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia with PACs for two years. I have had increasing amounts of PACs and runs of SVT in the range of 20-35,000 PACs a day (800-2500 per hour)and 800-1500 runs of short

Hi everyone, just had a letter following a 24 hour holter monitor I had on the 10th of August, this was 4 months post PVI ablation.
