Cardioversion

Exercise with AF?
I had my first
cardioversion
a week ago which was successful and I’m still in NSR. I am however very overweight and fall into that delightfully named category of morbidly obese.

Increased Heart Rate
Then I had a
cardioversion
and felt great. Heart rate came back down to around 62bpm. Unfortunately 3 weeks later I went back into AF. The thing is the AF symptoms I previously had have all pretty much gone. The only thing is I still get tired more quickly than when in NSR when walking etc.

Cardioversion
I'm feeling very fortunate to have been offered a
cardioversion
on Tuesday much sooner that I thought, but to be honest I'm feeling very nervous

Withdrawal from Bisoprolol
Hi, My husband was in permanent AF, he has now had 2 Cardioversions, the first lasted for 6 weeks and the second which he had in February combined with being prescribed Amiodarone is currently still holding him in NSR. We have been told they are unlikely to work long term as his heart is dilated due

Lower heart rate after cardioversion
HiI had a
cardioversion
on 21/6 which successfully restored normal rhythm. My resting heart rate is now averaging 46 for the last week (a little over 65 before). Still on 2.5mg bisoprolol and edoxaban. Is that good, bad or indifferent?

ablation
Hello, my husband suffers with AF and after 3 failed cardioversions last year, he had an ablation yesterday though the chest. He was in theatre for a few hours and he is still in absolute agony in his chest, shoulders and back and can not move. Hes in hospital and they’re giving him painkillers, but

Yearly Check Ups
I caught up with him yesterday, and after 7 years of heart dramas, a
cardioversion
, 4 ablations, 1 abandoned ablation when they found a blood clot in my heart and multiple hospitalisations, he is finally happy to now put me on his, "we'll catch up every year from now on" list.

Should I live with it?
My EP has said I'll be a poor ablation candidate if not NSF for at least 30 days after
cardioversion
. I meet with him next week to discuss treatment options. I suspect he'll recommend proceeding with ablation while making caveats for potential poor outcomes. What about just living with it?

Throwing up triggers AFIB
I was officially diagnosed with having a fib just a few months after my son was born in 2018. I believe I may have experienced this as a child growing up and didn’t know what was happening. I have ONLY had afib episodes after I’ve throw up. I have converted back several times with taking metoprolol

Pace and ablate for atrial tachycardia?
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.
