Should I have a hysterectomy?
The short version is that I have adenomyosis, but it is well enough managed on zoladex/Tibolone that I'm not having any significant pain and not bleeding enough that it is a problem, but I do have lots of more minor issues and my consultant thinks a hysterectomy would be better. I've got the op booked

AF has not returned after all
When seeing my new EP regarding another ablation for the return of AF, I was informed that my episodes in January and March of this year were not AF but SVT. Specifically, they believe I have AVNRT (atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia). So for now, I am back on diltiazem until I can be scheduled

Contemplating ablate and pace
I've been lurking this forum for some years now. Less so when I'm happily in NSR, but more so, as now, when things go off the rails. I'm almost 75 and have been fighting AF for about 15+ years. From the first diagnosis, all sorts of toxic and scary meds (Tikosyn in recent years which has actually worked

Av Node Abltion

I have had a pacemaker implant, recently and waiting for an AV Node Ablation, for which I am feeling extremely anxious about. Has anyone out there had this procedure? I would like to know their experiences- hope fully positive ones. Thank you

Bisoprolol
HiOn 1.25mg bisoprolol for heart failure also have LVSD, AFib and had AV node ablation and pacemaker. My pacemaker is set 70bpm hr so doesn't really go any higher than this and I believe the purpose of bisoprolol is to lower heart rate, so the question is why do I need bisoprolol when my heart rate is

Weight gain with AFIB
Hello everyone.I just have a question concerning weight gain and AFIB. The first of this year, i gained a significant amout of weight for no reason.

Short spell of dizziness
hello to you all I had
catheter
ablation
end of Sept 2022 to alleviate flutter. I also had lots of annoying etopics. I was suffering with some tachycardia too and very low BP which made taking Bisosporol an issue. All went well. I’m currently on Edoxaban and 2.5 Bisosporol as a PIP.

pace maker and node ablation
I had a pacemaker fitted due to persistent AF that was not responding to medication. I started passing out without warning so it was a decision I had to make. Due to the AF still persisting I had an AV node ablation 4 weeks later. I really thought that I could at last live a normal life. I am 75

AF & AV node ablation confusion
Hi,So I have had pace n ablate, pacemaker dependent also have HF. Does anyone know if you can still be in AF after AV node ablation and pacemaker dependent? I was informed by a doctor after a recent visit to A&E that due to AV node ablation and being dependent on a pacemaker that AF shouldn't occur

AVnode ablation
All,Has anyone out there had an av node ablation? I have been in persistent afib since feb of this year, and meds are not working. My quality of life has been miserable. I have a pacemaker with wires in my ventricles and my heart rate is very well controlled. It's the afib which is so bothersome.

Ablation done.
I was offered
catheter
ablation
which was performed on Monday 27 feb. They restored NSR I was discharged later that day. Later in the evening I began to develop stomach pain which quickly became unbearable.

Post ablation short of breath
I had a

Good news story
Hi, I’ve been meaning to post this update for weeks but have been too well and busy! A shortish resume: Diagnosed 2018, paroxysmal AF treated with Bisopralol and Flecainide. Very symptomatic and intolerant of drugs. Feelings of passing out during episodes resulted in PM being fitted 2019. Episodes

To my dear travelling companions who have been down this path - just wanted to share my situation thus far and wonder if this resonates with your journey....... would love to know. Been struggling with extreme fatigue, sometimes dizziness, unsteady on feet, weak in legs, swollen lower legs/ankles.

Irritation at catheter entry points post ablation
I had my ablation 11 days ago with entry points in both groin areas and also epicardially through incision below breast bone. All healed well with hardly any bruising at all. However I'm experiencing intense irritation...itching.... from the entry points....driving me mad! I dealt with the chest one

~AV Node ablation - 3 days post op~
~I would be most grateful to learn if anyone who may have had an av node ablation has found breathing a bit more difficult post op? If so will this just be part and parcel of the AV node ablation? Whilst I feel I am slowly healing I note that my pacemaker was reprogrammed to DDIR (whatever that means

post ablation questions/reassurance
Just had a
catheter
ablation
for my SVT. It was AVNRT and very close to the av node. Had some palpitations post surgery but hoping that's part of recovery. Feeling anxious for sure and fatigued by the evening but hoping it feels all OK soon. It's been just a week
