Have afib and had abliation and
cardioversion
back in March. All started last December with afib. They think I had a bad sinus, asthma, or lung infection. Am wheezing, have some voice box damage and heart rate and bp very high. My rate and bp were good before all this.

Failed second cardioversion
I had my second
cardioversion
today and it didn’t work. I’m being referred to an EP. looking for advice on what to ask about abalation. What are the risk or rewards. This site has always had good advice. I am just completely disappointed about today. So any advice is welcomed.

Un-diagonosed Sleep Apnea
A few months ago I posted a question about high blood pressure at night and getting up 4 or 5 times a night for the toilet. I have had PAF for 7 years and was changed to Sotalol following a couple of Cardioversions three years ago. I went to my doctors about 2 years ago concerned with my night time toilet

Whilst we are in philosophical mode........
Cardioversion
- a relatively simple procedure to stop and restart the heart in seconds. It involves no intervention therefore the existing circuitry of the heart remains unchanged which I guess is why AF is likely to return at some time in the future.

Perindopril
My husband has seen consultant today following his
cardioversion
. As he has a mechanical heart valve he has been put on to perindopril 2mg to increase to 4mg if no side effects occur. Anyone else been prescribed this drug?

Pre. Cardioversion check
What's the reason for the blood check before
cardioversion
if I'm on apixiban ? Had 2 overseas without blood checked.

New to AF - not sure what happens next
Now I'm waiting to be contacted by the Cardio department to find out if I'm a suitable case for
cardioversion
. I've also made a private appointment to see my old heart consultant who diagnosed my leaky heart valve which was repaired 7 years ago.

Post cryoablation- anxiety
Hi, I had been diagnosed incidentally during a routine physical with AFib. I was on flecinaide and then had 2 cardioversions, one worked very briefly while on Amiodarone. I went back into NSR and then it converted on it's own. Month later, back in AFib. I guess I have drug resistant (Amiodarone) paroxysmal

Cardioversion
Was prescribed bosiprolol, and told
cardioversion
was likely. Went into hospital for a couple of weeks ago for an Echocardiogram, which had a normal heartbeat.

Greetings from the Coronary Care Unit
I was given extra meds and told if that didn't fix things he'd do a
cardioversion
in the morning. Thankfully in back in sinus rhythm and my HR is 63. I'm grateful that I have awesome doctors, private health insurance and world class medical services close to home.

My first visit to a cardiologist; not a success
He didn’t particularly show any interest in the fact that my brother had Afib and has been booked for ablation,
cardioversion
et al. He ate his biscuits (yes, really) and let me talk.

URGENT HELP AND ADVICE NEEDED
He has had
cardioversion
last week and they found one of the leads have come out so it’s not working properly yet and needs to be refitted. He’s on a range of tablets to. I know that HF will never get better but will his EF improve? Should I be prepared for the worst?

What next, if anything?
Have enjoyed reading everyone's experiences with Afib/flutter. Does anyone have any recommendations as what might be the next course of action after 6 cardioversions, an ablation, flecainide, tikosyn...and nothing works. I'm in afib all the time and just getting darn tired, literally and figuratively

PAF to permanent AF
I had PAF SINCE 2105 with 2 huge attacks that needed emergency

and then PAF was kept at bay with different medications.
