Several months ago, I wrote on here ‘A while back, I was seen by a lady at the pain clinic, who said that I have ‘Scoliosis convex to the right with minor anterior vertebral body height loss at T12, L3 and L4. Disc space narrowing at the lumbosacral level with hypertrophy of the lower lumbar facet joints

AF but erratic pulse rate is below 100
Hi all, I am currently on a long distance walk in Sweden and had just finished 7 days of walking when I felt the jitters and realized I had started another AF episode. I am on Xarelto, bisoprolol and Irbesartan for BP. This episode is a little different in that my only real symptom is an irregular

A cautionary Flecainide tale
Brief history, I had two ablations in 2019, the second one being in Sept. I'm currently 56 and like exercise. Since 2019 I stopped competing and training for triathlon and knocked everything back loads. Around Oct 21 I noticed arrhythmias, looking back on my notes it mostly seemed to start with atrial

I need some information and help
I am reaching out again to you wonderful people. Can you tell me if irregular heartbeat usually below 100, sometimes a bit over for five minutes is also atrial fibrillation. Are they the same thing I would like to understand - how this works. I have now had irregular heart beat that I can feel

Pills Can Cause More Problems
Here's my story: I've had AF for 18 years and have certainly suffered over that time. After 3 ablations and still having arrhythmia which included the following info copied from ECG July 2022 :
Atrial flutter with variable AV block with premature ventricular or aberrantly conducted complexes[

Pace and ablate for atrial tachycardia?
Just wondering..... The evidence here and elsewhere suggests that pace and ablate comprises a good option for many of those folks in later life who have very symptomatic persistent/permanent AF and for whom cardioversion no longer works. We also know that one or more ablations, whilst on the face of

Cold water!
I went swimming for the first time yesterday since my diagnosis of PAF 18 months ago. I'm on holiday in France at the moment. It was an outdoor pool and it's hot here so the water felt really cold. I went in waist deep and then ducked under. I swam for a few metres then realised I was in AF. I guess

Ablation next Wednesday
Hi, Apologies, I’m dreadful at remembering terminology .. I’ve had racing and irregular heart beat intermittently for a decade of more. I have a resting heart rate of 50 and low blood pressure. My afib tends to be aggressive and I usually end up in hospital. ( rate of 240 not unusual) Last time had

Tachycardia
Hi. After six months clear of af it suddenly came back last month. It seems to bother me every day since. I’m on Bisoprolol 10 and flecainide 50.x 2. Also became tachycardic. Spoke to gp who agreed I could increase flecainide to 2 x 100. Made me very breathless so reduced it again. I’m mostly tachycardic

A question please
I had had bouts of Afib ranging on average of 12-18 hours a time for many years. I then had one of 55 hours 5 years ago. Then it was back to the usual pattern. Suddenly I’m into another long one? I have always self converted and never been to hospital, except twice in 18 years and that was with chest

AF has not returned after all
When seeing my new EP regarding another ablation for the return of AF, I was informed that my episodes in January and March of this year were not AF but SVT. Specifically, they believe I have AVNRT (atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia). So for now, I am back on diltiazem until I can be scheduled

Contemplating ablate and pace
I've been lurking this forum for some years now. Less so when I'm happily in NSR, but more so, as now, when things go off the rails. I'm almost 75 and have been fighting AF for about 15+ years. From the first diagnosis, all sorts of toxic and scary meds (Tikosyn in recent years which has actually worked

iron lab results 10 weeks post iron infusion
I have had four iron infusions in the last 2 years. 10 weeks ago I received Injectafer 1000 mg with so-so results. I had seen a hematologist at my neurologist/Sleep specialist’s urging out of his concern for my out of whack lab numbers. The hematologist was not concerned. I gave my sleep, specialist

I have had a pacemaker implant, recently and waiting for an AV Node Ablation, for which I am feeling extremely anxious about. Has anyone out there had this procedure? I would like to know their experiences- hope fully positive ones. Thank you

Weight gain with AFIB

pace maker and node ablation
I had a pacemaker fitted due to persistent AF that was not responding to medication. I started passing out without warning so it was a decision I had to make. Due to the AF still persisting I had an AV node ablation 4 weeks later. I really thought that I could at last live a normal life. I am 75

CHAD VASc
Last year on a visit to my EP he informed me that at the age of 64 and with a CHAD VASc score of 1 that anti coagulants were not necessary. However as I turn 65 then my score would go to 0 which then does require Anti-c . I am taking Flecainide, bisoprolol along with Magnesium and I am in good health

AVnode ablation
All,Has anyone out there had an av node ablation? I have been in persistent afib since feb of this year, and meds are not working. My quality of life has been miserable. I have a pacemaker with wires in my ventricles and my heart rate is very well controlled. It's the afib which is so bothersome.

bradycardia interrupting sleep
I’m waking up during the night with low heart rate 42-48 bpm and a feeling that my heart is labouring. This is usually twice in the night and I often can’t get back to sleep after 4.00am. I think sleeping on my back doesn’t help ( I try not to) and my other half tells me I snore. Tried all the sleep
