Hello - I’m new here!
Hi I’m Jules - I have RA and atrial fibrillation (had cardiac ablation but AF returned infrequently). Any health tips would be appreciated.

ABLATION: Costs and Paths to having Ablation carried out. NHS or PRIVATE.
Treatments include blood-thinning drugs and
catheter
ablation
, when a flexible thin tube (
catheter
) is inserted into a vein at the top of the leg and up into the top chambers of the heart, usually under local anaesthetic.

20 days since cardiac ablation...
Hi - I have been following the posts on here which have been really helpful and thank you Bob I have the factsheet which has been amazingly reassuring. I am struggling with knowing how much or little to do - I went back to work last week and apart from tiredness and aura was Ok (desk job). Monday felt

How do I know if I slip back into AF
I have had a AV Node ablation and also a PVI ablation. I think I am doing fine but how would I know if I had slipped into AF again since I am pacemaker dependent. If I ask my GP surgery they look kind of vague and change the subject. I feel my strength returning and I am able to do more but I still

update after PVI
It is now nearly two months since this was done and I am still in sinus(I think) difficult when you have had two ablations done a AV node ablation and a Pulmonary Vein Isolation. I did resume Flecanaide at 25mg each night and this seems to calm any runs I feel after I go to bed. I also suffer left

Questions about my mother's AF
I’m wondering if she might be a candidate for alternative treatment like a
catheter
ablation
or cardio inversion, and why they haven’t been mentioned? Or even different drugs? Sometimes I think she’d be better off stopping all her medication!

3.5 weeks after catheter ablation...
Pain in my chest and shortness of breath have come back after about a week of no symptoms. I thought I was home free as the symptoms for the first 10 days were pretty uncomfortable, although I was working everyday. Anyone with experience similar? Any pain remedies for the chest pain? Much appreciated

Catheter ablation without being put to sleep?
Hi all, recently was going to have a
catheter
ablation
, however doc said afterwards that they couldn't induce tachycardia when I was under general anaesthesia and so couldn't carry procedure out. So now I have to have it without general anaesthesia at a later date.

Endometrial ablation
I'm due to have an Endometrial ablation next week. Wanted it done under a local anesthetic but they said it's under a general. To say I'm terrified is an understatement. Just wondering if anyone has had this done and what recovery time was after it. I'm more scared of the anesthetic than anything else

My AF journey takes a turn for the better?
This AF business is really well described as a journey. The situation now is that following the fitting of my pacemaker (CRT-D paced at 80/130 bpm) the risk involved from any further syncope was greatly reduced which was obviously to the good but nevertheless I still didn't feel much better. As posted

Post Cardiac Ablation
Can someone advise me please. I had a cardiac ablation around 7 years ago which was successful. However now I have an odd heart rate, sometimes is 40 beats a minute during the day and sometimes up to 180. My GP has put me on Losartan for Hypertension which has made me feel awful and gain weight. Surely

AV node ablation
Does anyone know if the recovery rate from an AV node ablation six weeks after a pacemaker implant, takes the same time as other ablations. I wondered as it’s more straightforward and takes much less time, it might not take so long to recover.

Polycythemia + Brain Tumor - Update
I had to have a heart surgery (
catheter
ablation
) to deal with paroxysmal atrial tachycardia that was both successful and handled very well by a doc who did consider the MPN in his treatment for me. Most recently, I had to have a hemorrhagic brain tumor removed.

Surgery or meds for atrial fibrillation?
Catheter
ablation
allows a cardiologist/electrophysiologist to create a type of scar called a conduction block in the heart muscle, to prevent erratic electrical signals from travelling through the heart.

Endo/Hysterectomy
Hi all ***SORRY FOR THE RAMBLING IN ADVANCE*** 2 years ago I had a 20cm ovarian cyst removed along with left ovary, fallopian and omentum. Was told post op that everything was stuck together like cement. He said he separated the bowel from the bladder and uterus etc. I had an endometrial ablation in

Travel Insurance - What a palaver!
In late 2016 I was diagnosed with slightly elevated blood pressure during a routine health check.
