Awaiting investigation and possible ablation for Flutter.
I suspect that doing too much, too soon, set off flutter a couple of weeks after my last ablation (which stayed away for 7 months after
cardioversion
) and am determined to be more careful this time.

Follow up after Cardioversions...
So had a follow up yesterday. Consultant says I am an “urgent” case for Ablation, so am going for it. He’s also changed one of my meds’ from Bisoprolol which makes me feel terrible to Ira-TIL SR. Anyone had this drug/opinions?

AF what’s going wrong ?
I was diagnosed with fast AF in June this year, I had
cardioversion
which only worked for 2 days then my heart was back out of its sinus rhythm, I was put on 5mg of bisoprolol taken in the morning, my heart went back into rhythm and all seemed to me going well until I collapsed in my GP surgery, this

change of bispoprolol dosage - any thoughts?
since my
cardioversion
in March I have been in NSR with no AF episodes. I wanted to see if I really needed to stay on a beta-blocker as "technically" it's not needed if my HR and sinus rhythm is back to normal.

Hello, I'm new here.
I was born with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), it is 4 x defects of the heart, and had an operation to correct my heart, this was back in 1976. I went to the Kruger National Park (where you can see the big 5) and had to drink malaria prevention medication. My heart went out of rhythm. I then went through

I’m having CRT cardiac resynchronisation therapy shortly,
I had internal
Cardioversion
which was successful in September and initially felt tons better, but now, not able to do much. I find this so frustrating as was a busy person prior to this. Thanx in advance, Janet

Dark red/purplish marks on skin
He had a
cardioversion
on 5th Nov and it was a success. 😊. Hes on apixaban blood thinner, bisoprol beta blockers, ramipril 1 25 every night, statins, and blood presssure tablets. Hes started getting dark red circular marks on his arms and near his wrist. They aren't itchy or anything.

Pace & ablate, the only option?
s later & there it was suggested that I undergo a
cardioversion
procedure to 'shock' my heart back into synus rhythm. This was unsuccessful. Back to the E C who suggested that I take amiodene in preparation for an ablation.

Driving and A Fib??
Hi does anyone know if you have notified the DVLA previously that they had atrial fibrillation and was cleared to drive ( it had been put back into normal rhythm by a
cardioversion
at the time of the medical) and the atrial fibrillation returns do you need to inform the DVLA again???

Flecainide
Just got my new presciption through but since seeing specialist (it was a few weeks after
cardioversion
and I was having some minor runs) rhythm been pretty good so questioning whether I need the flecainide.

best alternative to bisoprolol
Cardioversion
in March put me back into NSR and I'm still there thankfullly. I am finding however that the beta blocker is making we wheeze and is holding me back from getting back into full exercise.

Back in the hospital after my AF ablation 5 days ago 😫
They are going to do a
cardioversion
if I don’t go back to normal sinus rhythm by tomorrow. They are putting me on different medications now trying to convert me. Sheesh.
