Aggressive Afib
I've had a
cardioversion
, 2 ablations in the upper chamber and 1 ablation in a lower chamber. The last ablation was in June then in July, I had a cardiac arrest in Crete (apparently unrelated to AF). I now have an ICD fitted but AF is debilitating me.

GOING FORWARD
The follow up is for my failed
cardioversion
. They tried three times to Shockett with no NSR. Yesterday was to be about what’s next. My body responds to things usually but does not stay for very long.

I am back again sorry if I wrote this last night.
almost a month ago I had a
cardioversion
and it was amazing. I have been dealing with a heart rate in the 150s since the end of April. When I woke up from the CV it was 82. I actually had a smile as I awoke.

Vagal Afib
So I was diagnosed with Vagal Afib after several ED visits and having 4 cardioversions. My EP put me on Tikosyn which seemed to shorten the episodes. I am still in the paroxysmal Afib level. I do not drink alcohol or caffeine. Cut out sugar, eating late and stress. My doctor also told me he is suspecting

Amiodarone and Asthma
I've been on Amiodarone for about 6 weeks preparing for a
cardioversion
which is happening on Wednesday. Over the past 2 weeks I've noticed my asthma getting progressively worse and when I read the patient safety leaflet is says that this can be common.

Grateful for any Feedback on PVI Ablation Please
Had a
cardioversion
in February 2022, which lasted about 7 weeks and then back into persistent AF, looking back I carried on as normal after the
cardioversion
and perhaps I should have been more careful. My NHS EP/cardiologist has suggested a pulmonary vein isolation ablation using freezing.

we question about normal Sinus rythm
HI just had my
Cardioversion
on thursday and after 4 attempts they managed to get me into normal Sinus rhythm. So my resting bpm is now at 52 to 55. But it has gone up to 75 whilst sitting. Does this mean I'm back in AF ?

NT-proBNP Level query
I know with me saying I don`t want another
Cardioversion
it ends it really, but could I request other/ repeat tests?.

Sore throat after ablation
The procedure took about three hours under GA and a
cardioversion
put me straight back into sinus rhythm. Since then, both my heart rate and blood pressure have been perfect and the wound in my groin is healing well. Long may they remain so! My concern is that my throat is still incredibly sore.

Cardioversion
My consultant is recommending
cardioversion
as the next step in my AF treatment, primarily in order that I can stop taking bisoprolol as this appears to be impacting on my asthma. Has anyone experience of this procedure, success rates, issues with it etc?

Yesterday was a surprising day
They wanted to make sure I was clear of blood clots tumors etc. before they did the
cardioversion
. Well I’ll cut to the chase.

Amiodarone
I’m due to have a
Cardioversion
on 5 Nov and Cardiologist seemed to infer the Amiodarone was in preparation for that. I talked to my GP who said to continue taking it and Bisopropol but I’m now feeling that can’t be right…. Looking for input on long term use of the above drug.

Afib in young people (less than 40 years old)
At the same time we decided to try a
cardioversion
and see if it reverts, as I have no idea when this started and if it is already permanent. At the same time I got this diagnosis I had just started my new job.

Amiodarone
The consultant is proposing this drug followed by
cardioversion
if necessary. What are the common side effects?
