When to see GP
Looks like I have gone into Non sinus rythym just 6 weeks after
cardioversion
. I don't feel too bad apart from feeling heartbeat pounding a bit and numbness in right arm. I never know whether or not to bother my GP, any advice?

Any one else in their 20s or 30s with Af from drinking?
The
cardioversion
worked and I felt instant relief. The next day, they put me on Xarelto 15mg 2x daily, Carvedilol 12.5 mg 2x daily and captopril 12.5 mg 2x daily. They kept me till the next morning to see how I reacted to the meds then discharged me.

Need a smaller dose of Levothyroxine after 5 years?
Anyway to cut a long story short, had to have a
cardioversion
under general anaesthetic to restore my heart to normal rhythm and rate. Was put on beta blockers and anti coagulents, but beta blockers had horrible side effects so have come off them.

Back in NSR after cardioversion ?perimitral flutter?
Good to be back in NSR. Not so good; the EP study showed my flutter was atypical and requires a more complex ablation than there was time for on Monday; or, to come home to a very poorly partner who required hospitalization due to an infection. On the plus side my heart stayed in NSR throughout many

Night sweats
I am 76 years old next month and, based on hearsay and advice, decided against
cardioversion
and ablation procedures, due to my age. I understand that these procedures are likely to be much more successful if you are younger.

Post-cardioversion exercise
I'd be grateful for some kind advice on exercise post-
cardioversion
. I'm 71, 13st 8lb, 5ft 11ins., male I went to AE a year ago with fast heart rate and uneven pulse, was kept in 2 nights, stabilised and discharged on Bisoprolol and Apixaban.

Post ablation and finally off amiodarone
I had my ablation last September and all was good although it took a long time. My EP took me off amiodarone in December saying he hoped I would stay in NSR. My pulse is still regular but I have started getting very fast fluttery moments which only last a few minutes and often happen when I wake

SVT After AFIB Ablation
Doc says
cardioversion
needed and probably ablation again to stop SVT. Anyone else run into this? Pretty depressing.

How my AF started...
From September till the day of my
cardioversion
(3 wks ago).... I continued my pattern of eating and forcing myself to be sick when it became uncomfortable. While I was waiting for my
cardioversion
I promised myself that if it worked I would not ‘over eat’ again and force myself to be sick.

Does anyone else have both ITP and AF
Also, heart procedures (such as
cardioversion
) cannot be carried out until platelet counts have been over 75,000 for several months. Is anyone else experiencing these problems?

Help
I was on Bisoprolol and Flecainide from when I had a
cardioversion
about 14 months ago, then was told I needed an ablation although I felt great on the meds. Since the ablation last March I was told to cut down and come off both the bisoprolol and flecainide.

Atrial Fibrillation and Cardioversion
Last Thursday I had a
cardioversion
and I’m back in rhythm.... I’m just so nervous now that it won’t last. Has anyone here had a
cardioversion
that’s lasted a decent amount of time? Thankyou!

Three years from diagnosis
I had a successful
cardioversion
in October 2016, although it only worked for a couple of weeks. If felt marvellous while it lasted. In November 2016 I saw the cardiologist (not the EP this time).

Is Digoxin a high risk drug
I am very slowly recovering from an Atrial Flutter
cardioversion
6 week ago. I was then started on Digoxin 1.25 along with Rivaroxipan and reduced Bisopropolol 2.5. Doc thought the flutter was something to do with the Flecainide I started 3 months earlier.
