A bad mix?
The Amiodarone is to get me ready for
cardioversion
number two, but I don’t have a date yet.... Have any of you found this a bad mix?

2 Cardioversions in 2 months AF (Ablation? Amiodarone help?)
Hi I’ve had 2 cardioversions in 2 months the drugs they gave me in A&E didn’t help and my blood pressure dropped dangerously low both times. They’ve changed my Blood thinner to rivaroxaban saw the heart specialist nurse who wants me to go on Amiodarone, they are hesitant in me having ablation because

Post cardioversion advice?
Delighted to be called in for
cardioversion
last Friday and even happier that it worked again and so I’m back in sinus rhythm once more.

Sotalol Started at Home
Multiple meds and a
cardioversion
and she is in and out all the time. They started her on Sotalol 80mg 2x a day two days ago at home. I'm a retired nurse and have never heard of starting Sotalol at home. Today she had an EKG and it showed prolonged QT.

Are we all shielding?
I have PAF and although I have pretty much exhausted my
cardioversion
options, I still have only been in AF for under 24 hours in the last 4 years. When I am in sinus rhythm I don’t have symptoms but am on 200mg flecainide a day.

Amiodorone
After a failed
cardioversion
, I've been prescribed Amiodorone (after having a bad reaction - acid reflux - to Sotalol). How dire are the side-effects of Amiodorone? The list looks worrying!

Just a little advice
Has anyone else gone from being diagnosed with AFIb to then paroxysmal to then being told it’s completely disappeared? My consultant said to just stay clear of the alcohol and I should be good from now on. It’s a lot different from the conversation 9 months ago where cardioversions and ablations were

Need to know which Atrial Fibrillation or Atrial Flutter before scheduled Ablation Procedure?
6 episodes in 8 months 5 resolved through electrical
cardioversion
. Doctors keep trying to determine which it is, AFib or AFlutter? Because treatment is different for AFib or AFlutter (section to be ablated) how can we determine before a scheduled Ablation?

Post Cardeoversion care
My husband is going in for his first
cardioversion
Monday after being in AF for a year. Some of the wait was due to covid and also getting his thyroid back under control.

CRT Pacemaker and AV Ablation
After four lots of
Cardioversion
, two lots of Catheter Ablation and multiple meds, which are either ineffective or make me feel 'strange', I have been listed to have a Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Pacemaker fitted, followed by AV Ablation.

Verapamil v Bisoprolol
I have been on Bisoprolol for years . A few months ago the dosage was increased to 10mg in order to bring my heart rate down to under 100 bpm. I have persistent AF and after lots of cardioversions and 2 ablations the cardiologist says the only option left is rate control since he doesn’t recommend ablate

Titrating down from Amiodarone
After angiogram established there were no blockages a
cardioversion
was arranged to see if NSR was possible and Amiodarone started 2 weeks prior to the CV - which failed to establish NSR after 3 attempts. Well one attempt did work - for 7 seconds.

Positive covid test with AF
I had a
cardioversion
in November which lasted a day or so. Cardiologist has put me on amiodorone ready for another CV. I have now tested positive for covid 19 . I have no idea how I got it as I only see my husband & son who have tested negative?
