Artial Fibrillation
I was diagnosed with AF last month and had a cardovision via private healthcare, the
cardioversion
procedure hasn't worked fully and I still have AF. I've been recommended to have a second
cardioversion
with Amiodarone. Does anyone else have experience in this procedure. Thanks.

Ablation failure? 1 year on
I took flecanide I had left from pre ablation when I got home but it didn’t help get me into NSR so after a few hours I phoned NHS 24 and was told to pop up to A&E. bloods were fine and I ended up having a
cardioversion
under sedation and have been in NSR since (no medication).

Amiodarone and side effects
Hi everyone, I have just received a letter from my cardiologist saying that I am going to be put on Amiodarone to help keep me in rhythm after my
cardioversion
. After researching the drug I see it’s a black box drug with toxic nasty side effects.

Pacemaker update
I have never heard of the last one, I would have thought the
cardioversion
would damage the pacemaker. Has anyone heard of or had this procedure? Perhaps I misunderstood and the
cardioversion
comes first before the pacemaker is fitted.

First cardioversion successful!
I had my first
cardioversion
this morning and the first zap put me into NSR. I was amazed how quick and easy it was and the hospital staff at St Thomas’ were brilliant, well done the NHS. I’m to stay on my current medication until appointment with EP to discuss.

An update on EP refusing ablation because of obesity.
Hi. I have posted several times because my EP has told me I need to be under 13 stone to ablate. I am 18 stone. In my last post I was back in hospital and about to be sent home on rate control because the hospital had said the drugs don’t work and they wouldn’t give me any more electro cardioversions

1st Cardioversion
I had my first
cardioversion
on Thursday and I’ve returned to afib today. I feel really disheartened about it. I was aware that
cardioversion
wasn’t a cure but I expected a longer period in NSR if I’m honest.

My first cardioversion is on Monday
I am booked in at St Thomas' hospital for a

Got a follow up in a month and possible cardioversion.
I’m booked for
cardioversion
and a 24hr tape. I know I won’t need
cardioversion
if I’m still in sinus, but all positive for my next steps in my AF journey.

Atrial Flutter and Cardioversion
I've stayed off work as advised by the cardiologist but I do wonder why I wasn't offered
cardioversion
in the interim while I wait for ablation. As I would have been able to return to work if it successfully put me back in sinus rhythm.

Cardioversion
I have had many cardioversions and felt fine afterwards. But I am not feeling so good after the one I had yesterday. I expected the sore bruised back of hands (they always have 2 goes with the canula) and the itchy burns area and the painful throat. But today I am aching all over especially down my right

Angiogram and Af
Had a successful
cardioversion
in June which was my first after being in AF for 9 months. My cardiologist recommended that I have an angiogram which came through for end of this month. I am really concerned that this might put me back into Af, does anyone know if this is likely.

Flu jab before or after cardioversion
I am due to have DC
cardioversion
in 10 days. Any thoughts on whether I should have flu jab this week or post
cardioversion
. I wouldn’t want the side effects of the flu jab to bring on AF and makes the CV meaningless. Thoughts very much appreciated. Thank you

Has anyone experienced intermittent atrial tachycardia? Comes and goes every few minutes for the last six weeks.
Annoyingly though this means I can't have a
cardioversion
. I am now awaiting an appointment with my EP on the 28th October. I've been told not to return to work until I've spoken to the EP.

Back in AF
I’ve just had my first
Cardioversion
, for persistent AF back in after NSR.....after 3rd Zap.....but 2 days later, I seem to be skipping a beat ? Not 100% sure though ! Thinking of getting it checked out , but in meantime I’d like to be certain myself.

Many thanks
Sincere thanks to all who answered my question about
cardioversion
it's helped a lot. As far as the side effects are concerned, I have to agree with what most of you have said about not putting up with them, however, getting something done about them is another matter.

Decisions and way forward?
Hi All Could you give me some of your sage advice/opinions please. I saw my cardiologist at the end of Spetember at my local hospital and he told me I was not suitable for any more cardioversions (only had 1) or ablations. I spoke to my HF nurse a few days later as to whether I could be referred yo

Ramipril and amlodipine?
I had a
cardioversion
in Sept 2019 and PVI ablation Jan 2020. I was originally on losartan but got horrendous side effects so GP changed me to Ramipril 2.5 mg. BP remained high so dose increased to 5mg about 2 months ago. BP still high.
