Experiences with

Cardioversion

Cardioversion worked 3 weeks like being reborn sight smell taste fitness so vivid.opted for 3 heat ablations all only worked few weeks each.in yrs 12-13-14 . 8 years later still same few changes in medication caused issues but back on same original pills not yet got any worse but been offered pacemaker

I,m taking low doses of candastartin, dilitiazam, bisoprolol and apixiban, I,m aware that cardioversion is not always successful, but if it does work, would it mean I would be able to come off some of the medication? Q.O.L is not good !!!!

Essentially I have a blood clot in my heart which is delaying my cardioversion. It was discovered after a TOC (? Scope in throat) as I missed a dose of Rivaroxaban 3 days before my planned cardioversion. Diagnosed in June (and given Rivaroxaban) but only betablockers since November.

Has anyone had a cardioversion and been successful but had atrial fibrillation before cardioversion still getting tweaks a little. I am wondering if this is normal after cardioversion.

I felt terrible navinxg to bother them to say it wasNot my heart but back inAF I'd just had a cardioversion on 20 Dec. In daily mal on Tuesday (Good health) crystal wand which could magic a faulty heartbeat. This is good news. Take care everyone.

I am very nervous about this but also nervous about needing another cardioversion. I am also on Metropolol. He also said losing 10% of your body weight also helps. Any thoughts?

Never had cardioversion but tempted to start trying that as the drugs are really playing havoc with my life. So, any advice/info on AV node ablation?

What I would like to know is has anyone else had such low tolerance of Flutter and taken so long after Cardioversion to recover.

I was 13 months into NSR with ectopics after a previous cardioversion. My cardiologist gave the all clear but wanted me to increase bisoprolol from 2.5mg to 5mg per day but I really find this drug difficult. Tinitus, zombie head etc, so still only on 2.5mg.

The doctors have mentioned cardioversion but not stents-they seem to diagnose and recommend on test results and not what you tell them.

So eleven days since I stopped the Flecainide and the Rivaroxaban on the advice of my Cardiologist at the three month mark post ablation for the flutter and the subsequent Cardioversion two weeks later to sort out the fibrillation caused by the ablation.

I'm having a cardioversion on 27th December and it may seem a bit inane but my daughter wants me to go to the nail salon and get us a gel manicure. Do I need bare nails. I know from previous surgery I have been asked to remove nail polish but not sure about this with the procedure been so short.

Hi I was to get cardioversion today but I didn't get it as my heart has gone back into sinus rhythm Yahoo, they said my medication must be working. They are going to leave me on Amiodrarone until I get my ablation on the 23rd of January. Thank you to everyone for their support.

So. 37 M. Paroxysmal Afib with rvr. I have HCM and a family history of HCM thus have an ICD. Afib has gotten progressively more frequent last few years. Last year I had 5 cardioversions with the last one failing. Scheduled a emergency abalation at the local hospital but i converted chemically with amiordrone

- Started a new job (at which I worked for a total of 12 weeks) - Our 17 year old dog passed away - Our youngest daughter moved out of home and into her own house - I was a admitted to hospital 7 times (in 6 months) - Had an ambulance ride - Diagnosed with Atrial Flutter - Had an electric cardioversion

I was diagnosed with AFIB in 2016. I believe I may have had it much longer, but was diagnosed as panic attacks. I am a 59 yr old male. I was diagnosed the morning of a colonoscopy. The day before the procedure while doing my prep to clear the stomach and intestines I started to get heart palpitations

I am having cardioversion on the 20th of December and I was wondering what is the recovery time for this procedure please.

Hello everyone. My husband found out he was in afib a little over a year ago. He has had 2 cardioversions, one ablation. Neither would switch him out of afib. So the reality the dr says is that he will be in permanent afib. He is on a blood thinner and other meds to keep his heart rate at around 60

Has anyone had cardioversion for atrial flutter, how long did it last before the symptoms reappeared. Any recommendations for the best medication or that to avoid. I know that we are all different but a concencus from a group like this is also very informative

I don't know if it's common, I was given 3 shots during the cardioversion and was told that it was unsuccessful . My sinus rhythm did not revert to normal but I noticed I felt better a couple of days later. At my follow up appointment 10 days later, ECG showed that I was in normal sinus rhythm.
