Cardioversion
In short I would say if you are offered
cardioversion
, don't let the idea scare you off.

Afib and A&E - Update
I'm psychologically destroyed by this and I fear they won't do anything because I don't have high rate, leaving me for months in this again waiting for the
cardioversion
and taking meds that stop me from living my life... further damaging my heart by untreated afib.

Amiodarone

Cardioversion

Cardioversion

How Much Activity?
When I has my
cardioversion
I asked about physical activity and was told "listen to your body". I honestly don't know what that means.

Flecainide for chemical version
Persistent AF for over two years punctuated by NSR for 8mths after first
cardioversion
but only 2 weeks after second. Now on digoxin & sotalol which controls the rate well but limits activities. Clinic suggest trying Flecainide to see if it will chemically induce NSR.

cardioversion
I came out of afib on my own brilliant !!!

Good News
I was unable to walk, and I had had a
cardioversion
that not only failed, but almost finished me off. my EP, who has a passion for what he does when and created a working pacemaker and wiring just for me alone.

Into the 2nd phase?
Heart rate around 80 (normally 50)...suggested and I felt like they were pushing me down the
cardioversion
route or ablation...both are my idea of please no!

Cardioversion failed
Wife went into persistent AF back in March and she finally got her
cardioversion
performed yesterday. Sadly, it was unsuccessful after the 3 attempts and she's back home with some lovely scorch marks that are itching like hell.

Mitral Valve Af and fed up
He said he would reduce Amiodarone to 100mg to see if that would help me not go back into AF and is looking at doing another
cardioversion
. I am feeling absolutely awful. I’m constantly exhausted and unable to walk too far. Is this normal?

Updates on AF meds
He said I could opt for an ablation or another
cardioversion
if I wanted, or just stay on my medications. So, for the time being, just staying on the meds and will see how things go with the gym.

cardioversion within 3 weeks of ablation?
The arrhythmia team had me in for an ECT today and are arranging an appointment for a
cardioversion
possibly this Saturday. Just wondering if anyone else has had a CV so soon after ablation and if so was it successful? Thank you for all of your patience and support!

Does donating 1 liter of blood increase chance of going back into Afib?
I had a
cardioversion
2 weeks ago and have stayed in sinus. I need to have 1 liter of blood drawn because my iron levels are too high. Does anyone know if taking out that much blood will increase my chances of going back into Afib? ie: perhaps dehydration???

Second Ablation Recovery
(previously had 6
cardioversion
s too) Oh, but it was my groin stitches that had me climbing the walls. Last pain relief at 7:30pm, stitches out at 11pm. Yes, I know it’s only one longer stitch that’s cut first, but anyway, my threshold is pretty high but this brought me to tears.

Verapamil 120 mg
Had
cardioversion
and am back in sinus. Cardiologist wants me to start taking the above drug which I’m hesitant to use as my normal hr is between 67-72 so the new drug wld drop me lower. Plus there are a lot of contradictions with other meds I’m on. Plus I can’t drink on it!
