First Ablation Yesterday
Back to my room with a mouth full of blood as during the last
cardioversion
, I had bitten my tongue on both sides. Having been given heparin during the procedure, I looked like Countess Dracula and despite this, I was told I still had to take my own Apixaban at 6pm.

Back into Afib..
I had my first
cardioversion
5 months ago and had been in NSR until a week ago. I had a funny turn, felt lightheaded, dizzy and my heart was racing and now I’m back in Afib!

Low blood pressure and AF ?
I had a
cardioversion
6 years ago which corrected my persistence AF. Sadly I am in now back in persistent AF and experiencing problems with low blood pressure. When my BP is normal I feel great and have no other symptoms but when my BP drops I feel absolutely awful and have to rest.

Bleed behind eye
I am a 68 yr old woman diagnosed with persistent AF in January 2020, had 1
cardioversion
, in sinus rhythm 10 seconds. In January this year I had what I thought were black floaters in right eye, took 1 month to disappear.

Flecainide and Metoprolol Combo Have Stopped Working
I am on a course of 3 weeks of an anticoagulant awaiting a electro-
cardioversion
. My main concern is whether the
cardioversion
will be successful and if it is, then what the next steps may be to maintain sinus rhythm.

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.
