I had a
cardioversion

Heĺlo to all i just get great comfort from reading all your stories and love to hear the success stories i am nearly 4 months in sinus after my
cardioversion
fingers crossed i stay there my doctor thinks it will not last because my left atrium is enlarged is it true that it can remodel itself over time

Having said that, I have been more or less the same on other drugs, which were stopped last week after my first
cardioversion
. I have persistent AF, which is now okay after treatment

Thyroid problems
I have been on Amiodarone since March following
cardioversion
. My blood tests have shown up problems with my thyroid kidneys and liver and there is blood in my urine. My appointment with the Cardiologist is scheduled for April 2018 although my GP is going to see if he can get me in sooner.

AliveCor
Having been in NSR for nearly two years after
cardioversion
and ablation... I jumped back into 24/7 arrythmia last week. I charged up my old iPhone 4 with the AliveCor monitor on it to take readings for my cardio dept and it tells me it can't log onto my account.

Had Cryoablation on Monday
The good news is that
cardioversion
was performed and my heartbeat is regular. However, this probably will not last. The nurses and staff at the hospital were lovely. To try and prevent a fistula a PPI (lansoprazole) has been prescribed, it was given to me on a full stomach.

Just keep going
Unfortunately when I reported back for
cardioversion
my rate was still 160. This was my life for 5 years 3-6 months in sinus followed by 3-6 months in AF.

After my initial hopes my successful

had a fast heart rate since Friday eve.
I had a
cardioversion
back in may the year for atrial flutter, PAF ,and tachycardia. All has been well until Friday eve when I felt a change. Seems to be in a regular beat but fast, around 110 resting rate. Tried to stay calm (difficult) as I have a lot going on at the moment.

6 months post ablation and off Eliquis - occasional pint.
I ended in the hospital again having
cardioversion
and a few days after that ablation in NYC (new EP). The two months post ablation were the toughest part as most of the time I was not even able to walk. 30 ft was a marathon for me. Then in just two days I was walking like nothing happened.

Cardioversion and Left/Right atrium size.
I was told that the echo had shown that my right atrium size showed it as unlikely that the
cardioversion
would be successful. It can be either atrium that is the culprit. However if they first do a cryoablation it will change the size of the right atrium and they can then do a
cardioversion
.

Cardioversion Failure
I had my
cardioversion
to correct AF not even a week ago. Three days later after a successful
cardioversion
, the AF returned. I could cry with disappointment, but that would only make matters worse. Such a shame, as I had just started to feel better with my old energy creeping back.

What is this forum to you?
For me personally it was somewhere to come to make sense of it all when diagnosed at 32. I like to think I've reassured offered insight into things having had three ablation and a dozen cardioversions as "payback" for all the helpful advice and encouragement I got. It's very good to know you can sound

electric cardioversion done
I just had an electric
cardioversion
done which was successful. In the interest of maintaining normal sinus rhythm I'm interested in hearing About What life style changes people have made? Did any specific triggers contribute to maintaining or disrupting the positive results of CV?

An unusually tangible post from me - to anticoagulate or not, that is the question
My CHADS VASC score is 0, and the only reason he told me to keep taking it was in preparation for
cardioversion
or ablation, but as the NHS waiting list is much longer than 4 weeks, I have no need to anticoagulate for the time being.

Is a pacemaker the next step?
Hi people I follow these posts as find them helpful when trying to get advice for my dad. He has had 3 ablation and 5 cardioversions and back in AF again. He can’t take betablokers as they make him ill. I feel like he is getting fobbed off as they keep saying he doesn’t need a pacemaker and an ablation

Hello! New member of the AF club here
I was taken to hospital and put on a drip to control the AF but it wouldn't work so they gave me
cardioversion
on sunday evening and that got me back to normal rythym. Released from hospital on Tuesday and I'm feeling OK.

Night sweats
Hi there this is the first time I’ve asked a question on here. I follow the posts as my dad suffers with AF and has had 3 ablations and 5 cardioversions but none have longer than a year. Since having AF he suffers with frequent night sweats, has anyone else suffered these and if so do you have any advice
