light headed after cardioversion
I had
cardioversion
2 days ago which put me back into sinus rhythm. This will be my 3rd one. I usually feel great afterwards but this time I still feel light headed and tired. I did some light exercise today and heart rate raised to 140 which is high for me. Has anyone else had this?

Amiodarone again...loading dose?
I'm reluctantly back on Amiodarone ahead of a
cardioversion
in the next few weeks. I had an ablation five weeks ago and have been in AF for the duration.When I was originally on Amiodarone (before a successful carioversion) I started on a high loading dose.

My Wife had a recent AF episode
NHS were totally brilliant and within two hour was given a
cardioversion
which put her back into normal sinus rhythm. She was given 1.25mg of Bisoprolol and told to take this until she could be seen at arrythmia clinic. She has this appointment on 29th.

Update after cardioversion
Had my
cardioversion
this morning and my heart is now back I sinus rhythm. Doc said it will probably return. Gave me a new medicine amiodatone , 200mg to help keep my heart in sinus rhythm. Said my two ventricles were somewhat enlarged due to age and exercise.

Pulmonary Vein Isolation
I am 84 Permanent afib that no longer responds to
cardioversion
. The Electrophysiologist told me 70% chance for results but may not last longer than 7 months. If I do not elect to have this deterioration of afib and worsening symptoms.

cardioversion. - I felt and remember it! šµāš«š®
Had first
cardioversion
this past Thursday. Fairly sure I am not supposed to remember the shock and pain from the shock. It hurt so bad I tensed up, pulled a muscle in my back and bit my tongue which was bleeding when I woke up.

Cryo ablation 6 days ago..am I back in AF?
So.... is
cardioversion
a viable option, is there a window in which it might work/ have worked successfully? Is it worth getting one privately (I could raid the savings if it would be money well spent and get done quickly). Can I avoid going back on amiodarone?

Looking for anyone in similar situation re Cardioversion
Had Echo, Consultant review and on list for
Cardioversion
end of Feb. I have no idea that my HB is irregular. Only real symptom is finding it tougher going on hills. Iāve read people reports after
cardioversion
when they say NSR only lasted a few hours, days, whatever.

Bisoprolol - is it ok to stop taking altogether?
A period on apixaban and bisoprolol and then a successful
cardioversion
in August 22. My heart remained in normal rhythm for just under a year, and my AF returned June 23. Another
cardioversion
restored rhythm in November 23.

Newbie - Constant bradycardia afib/arrhythmia symptoms?
The only symptom that stopped after the
cardioversion
was a slight ad-hoc chest flutter During his (short) time in sinus rhythm though nothing else changed. Should it have as he was no longer in afib?

Post Cardioversion
In my previous post I explained that my 3rd carioversion did not work even after one hour I was back into afib. However something strange is happening or at least it seems strange to me but may be normal. Five days after my cardio I got up around 2:30-3:00 am to use the loo. I could feel my heart in

Reducing bisoprolol
After an ablation in early April I went into symptomatic AF after two days but have since had a successful
cardioversion
. I remain in NSR and on advice from the arrhythmia nurse have reduced my bisprolol from 5mg to 2.5 mg daily. I'm a week into the lower dose.

weight loss wehovy and AF medication
Then, I had another
cardioversion
12 weeks ago, and unfortunately, I'm now back in full-time atrial fibrillation. I've been referred back to the hospital in England, where they might do another
cardioversion
or consider switching to Amiodarone, but it will take at least two, maybe four months.
