Night sweats
Since having open heart surgery nearly three years ago, my husband has night sweats. They happen regularly but not all the time, if that makes sense. I can usually tell the nights he is going to have them because he either feels incredibly cold on the day/evening before or more tired than normal.

Post cryoablation
I had my ablation on Friday 16th Dec 2022.Everything went fine but I was on the operating table for about 5 hours. I have a narrowing in my oesophagus so access was difficult. Anyway I had bad chest pains on the Monday night so went to A&E where I had blood tests which found I had a rising Cardiac Troponin

useful video from ‘my hero’ on atrial fibrillation and the different treatment methods used and when (including surgery)
an interview with steven hunter, cardio thoracic surgeon . I am now 8 months post surgery and still in NSR, hoping to follow in the shoes of the other once persistent mr Hunter patients on here who have been afib free for a long time. I wanted to share for those in persistent who don’t want to manage

Can Bradycardia trigger AF? and Bisoprolol !
3 weeks ago I started to get long runs of AF after being AF free for 6 years after Ablation. After almost constant runs of AF and Ectopics for 2 weeks, it settled for a few days, but has come back now 3 days. But what's happening is I have a slow heart rate, its averaging between 50 - 60. I have

ablation report
So, I arrived at the Golden Jubilee Hospital in Glasgow at 0730 this morning. I was called in to a room in ward 2c where I donned a rather fetching but rather revealing gown and filled out all the required forms. The staff were warm and welcoming and very reassuring. Around 0800 the surgeon who also

Fatigue
Does anyone else suffer with extreme tiredness even after sleeping well all night? I have felt tired all the time recently . I am 71 years old and have been in permanent AF for some years and chose not to go down the ablation route. I have been putting it down to the heat but not sure it is. I take

Apprehensive
I have had Furosemide added to my prescription due to fluid retention in my feet and ankles, due to mild heart failure associated to persistent AF. There are loads of side effects associated with it. GP says we have to monitor kidney function closely as I am stage 3CKD. Just wondered if anyone on here

AF and now coronary artery disease at 47. I recently had a CT angiogram and the results aren’t great. Back to being scared and worried.
So I first came on this forum with my Afib diagnosis and was terrified and depressed about the diagnosis and medications. I had good news from my echocardiogram as I had no damage at all. The last hurdle was a CT angiogram sadly I’ve not made it so well past this hurdle. I’m absolutely gutted to be honest

Just diagnosed AFib
Hi, I am reaching out to you because I was just diagnosed with A Fib as well as an irregular heart beat and prescribed Apixaban (and Metroprolol to use if my heart goes out of control -it has a couple of times). Can anyone tell me if I should have any concerns about Apixaban. What I can expect.

still in Afib
Flecanaide and Bisopropol I have had paroxysmal a-fib for 14 years and up to September 2021 always managed to return to sinus rhythm with 200mg flecanaide. I have on average about 20 'blips' a year and during that time I have been hospitalised (twice in the UK and twice in Tenerife)and treated until

Any help on a 10 year old please?
Hi, my 10 year old granddaughter had open heart surgery in September to repair 2 holes in her heart . She has come through it just fine - thank you GOSH - no issues at all really, all she wanted to do was cartwheel, she can...so she's well on her way to recovery. ....However since surgery we've noted

Afib and CAD double trouble and their vicious cycle
CAD (coronary artery disease) is a subset of a process disease called atherosclerosis, plaques of mainly fat build up inside arteries leading to intraluminal stenosis.. I post this one to draw attention to all of us, afibers, not trying to scare any of us. The purpose of this post is to do the right

Apixaban monitoring
Has anyone else in the UK been summoned by their GP for weight and blood tests for Apixaban monitoring, it does appear to be NICE guidelines but first for me.

A Tip!
if you have AF ( with a family history of heart disease as I have) and start getting angina-type symptoms, don’t waste time trying to convince yourself that’s it costocondritis as I did. . Get yourself checked out with an angiogram as soon as possible. In my area it has one of the shortest waiting lists

Failed Back Surgery
In 2017 I had a Laminectomy for Severe Spinal Stenosis in L3/4/5. The operation was successful and for 3/4 months I was completely pain free for the first time in years! In 2018 I had a bad fall and this resulted in having a Rotator Cuff Repair which was successful but by now my spinal pain was back
