Surgery
Due to have a
cardioversion
with general anaesthetic early June to hopefully get my heart rate back to normal. I need to have hernia surgery as soon as possible after this procedure and wondered how long after do I have to wait before going ahead with hernia op?

To Kardia or not to Kardia............
Since October last year, I’ve used the Heartmate once a week on the advice of the ward sister when my
cardioversion
was done and have not detected AFib despite being able to do so previously. I feel great and cycle up yo 30 miles a week with no apparent ill effects.

Increased gluten sensitivity - Is this age or anticoagulants?
Hi - I am 48 and in good health. I have been on Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) for about 6 years. I have been in persistent A-fib since November 2021. Since 2016 have had 5 cardioversions and 2 ablations - my afib is most likely caused by stenosis of my aorta and mitral valves (just stressing the point that my

Feeling Beaten
Feel so beaten & deflated, following years of AF, 2 disastrous ablations, became really ill in March with AF again & had 2 cardioversions since April (the second one was June!) Having done fantastic in losing 2 stone, not being able to get upstairs to walking 3 miles thought I’d cracked it - early

Mind-Map of Lone AF, Thyroid, Gilbert's and Autism
But the importance of B12, Folate and B complex were just one plank of the awakening I had, having suffered a TIA at the beginning of the year, following spontaneous
cardioversion
from that protracted post Christmas AF spell. I was denied anticoagulation until then because my CHADs was too low.

Post Cardioversion Issues
Thank you to all those who helped and advised over weekend - saw consultant tonight - ecg shows some delayed heart actions/extra beats but not AF thankfully but we’re keeping meds the same at moment and maybe a new ambulatory BP check as if stop Flecainide could go back in to AF, reducing or stopping

Post CardioVersion issues
Hello everyone, after a hair raising 9 weeks of persistent AF I was cardioverted on Friday back into NSR which is brilliant However, I’ve had a permanent headache/migraine needing painkillers and anti sickness roughly every six hours! Not only that I’ve had chest/abdominal pain which I can’t tell if

Amiodorone
I had my 2nd
Cardioversion
October 2021 and then I was put on Amiodorone for just 6 months. I read all about the effects (negative ) it could cause and to be honest I was worried.They decided to leave it for one more month and now for the past 3 days I no longer take it.

Ablation tomorrow and in AF more than usual!
This is my first ablation although having had 1
cardioversion
. Is it normal for anxiety to set in and cause more AF than would normally be the case with an upcoming ablation?

Eye laser surgery with antocoagulants
But yesterday I did a
cardioversion
and they told me that probably I will have to take anticoagulants long term. Obviously today I'm going to ask the doctor too, but I want to hear your experience.
