The next step is a
Cardioversion
which is on 8th February. I am worried because I have never been so out of breath with any exertion, getting up from a chair, bending down, even walking from one room to the next.

Atrial Fibrillation is back!
After 2 months of normal sinus rhythm following a
cardioversion
in November, my AF has returned today. I took a car full of waste to the recycling centre which included 2 large bags of garden clippings so my heart rate was pumping a bit after carting them from the car to the skip.

Recurrence of aFib after a 10-month break
Drugs did not work to stop the "attack" so I received a
cardioversion
"zap." This did the trick and I was symptom free -- no racing heart, no palpitations, no flutters -- for almost 10 months. I was put on apixaban blood thinner (5 mg, twice daily) to prevent stroke.

bisoprolol reduction
I think I was a little naive but trusted the hospital to reduce to 1.25 after my
cardioversion
he said my heart rate was lower so to do this.

Waiting Times For Ablations?
Back in August last year I had a
cardioversion
which only lasted for 3 weeks. In October I had a CT coronary angiogram and received the results in December.

Diltiazem aka Cardizem
So , paramedic trip to the amazingly beautiful Eisenhower Hospital in Rancho Mirage where I had my first
cardioversion
. That got me back into NSR pronto. However, the enemy only gave me a day of peace. I went back for another cardio version 48 hours later.

Different treatments
I was not offered ablation and they said I could try a
cardioversion
but it might just revert to Afib again and they did not want me to stay on sotalol due to side effects from long term use. Does this sound about right ? For treatment just to carry on on a rate control medication.

Amiodarone and AF
I had
cardioversion
in August at Bart’s to restore sinus rhythm after being in persistent AF for 6 months. Been on amiodarone and pleased to report not a single flutter since. Had transformed my life. Cardiologist wants to reduce my dose and later change me to another drug.

AF Returns
All good until September 2023 when AF re-appeared and had a successful
cardioversion
last month. During last night I went back into AF (I am generally always persistent). I have been waiting 4 months to see a cardiologist and don't know where I am in the the queue.

Diltiazem
To make a long story short, my first
cardioversion
gave me NSR for 24 hours. The second one gave me only a few minutes. After that I was admitted to hospital and put on a diltiazem dris which eventually got me out of AF.

longer episodes of afib
opinions on longer episodes of afib, like 10 + days or longer. apart from the obvious actions such as keeping one's blood thin and resistant to clotting by either utilizing drugs or alternative blood thinning agents, is there anything else that one should consider, such as the more invasive treatments of

Pre ablation meds
Went to Papworth Hospital in June and had
cardioversion
which worked straight away. However had overnight AF in early September. EP said if I had another before Xmas should go for ablation as better to catch it early.

cardioversion
or another ablation. My ablation took three hrs and l was told it was successful, however, immediately following l experienced a pericardium effusion and was rushed back to theatre for a chest drain and was admitted for five days.

Atrial Flutter: is it a long-term condition?
Good evening, about 4 years ago I had an episode of atrial flutter which was treated by
cardioversion
successfully. I was then prescribed Apixaban which I took for some time but it made my skin very sun sensitive. I took myself off it and took instead 75 mg of aspirin a day.
