Low Heart Rate
thanks to everyone who responded to my post. I am grateful for your comments and support. It is defined going to be worth raising with GP although this might involve a referral back to specialist who originally prescribed my heart meds. From what everyone’s experiences seem to suggest there are a myriad

ropinerole
I have reduced the ropinerole to 0.5mg during the day and 0.5mg at night and a small dose of
CBD
oil at night. The leg pain has gone and sleep is getting better.

Should I live with it?
I am 60 years old and diagnosed with persistent Afib this past November. Probably had it more than a year prior as it is asymptomatic being the type with irregular rhythm with my resting heart rate at 50-60 bpm. Went on Eliquis and have been cardioverted three times- first with no meds and NSF only

VitD, Mg, CoQ10 make a difference? and Cardiologist update
it’s been 8 months since CV and all good at my appointment, he said my reduction of metoprolol to 8.5mg is very low but still might be enough to reduce that adrenaline when my heart wants to play up during exercise or when I’m under stress, so I will stay on it and might even reduce or stop the morning

I'm 85 and have suffered with AF as long as I can remember. I recall worrying about my heart missing beats and thinking the worst. Specialist doctors tried Flecanide and Sotolol which helped by limiting my episodes paroxysmally but I was still aware of AF when playing tennis and golf. My doctor got permission

Cardioversion NHS waiting time.
Newbie here. Persistent AFib for 3m. Echocardiogram done. Cardioversion likely to be recommended. Wondered what waiting times people were experiencing? Thanks for any contributions.

Arrhythmia after open heart surgery - any others with similiar experiences?
Hi there, I'm new to this forum and looking forward to learning from you all. 8 weeks ago I had open heart surgey to correct a large atrial septal defect (hole in the heart). It was diagnosed at Christmas. Prior to this I had no cardiac symptoms at all - I was power lifting in the gym, cycling a 20km

Post DC Cardioversion advice
My husband has had AF jumpy heart rhythm for years and has meds for slightly high BP - Bisoprolol and Ramipril, but has been getting a bit tired and breathless on exertion. So he had DC Cardioversion yesterday and is in sinus. But his resting heart rate is hovering around 50 and if he does anything

Amiodarone
I just wanted to clear up such negative responses to amiodarone. What is the mortality rate for amiodarone? In unadjusted analysis, amiodarone recipients had a slightly higher risk of death compared to non-recipients in the full cohort (87 vs 73 deaths per 1,000 person-years; P<0.001) but not in the

Working out after AFIB
I saw my EP for a 90 day check up post ablation a few weeks ago. One of my questions was when can I resume more intense cardio workouts? I'm back to weight training, yoga, walking and rowing (on machine), but am nervous about getting my heart rate too high. My history: 3 (that I knew of) episodes

High diastolic blood p Niraparib
Hi, Blood pressure going up again on Niraparib, but it does just seem to be the bottom number, the diastolic. Has anybody got any success stories of sorting this bit with meds? Had bad reaction to calcium channel blocker. Currently taking Candesartan, though wanting to increase dose but not been on

Too much to take in!
A lot going on with no answers. Firstly having been diagnosed with AF in May, I had my fourth episode whilst in France a couple of weeks ago. Previous to that I was asked whether I would take part in the DOCCLA system which is an extension of a hospital ward apparently where they monitor you at home

Bad test news - questions to ask doctor
I knew my husband had AF following an EKG prior to surgery in 2012. He was a college athlete and only health issues have been hip and knee replacements. They tried to shock him out of AF but it was unsuccessful. He was put on Xarelto 20 mg. He has always been asymptomatic and I was naive since he

Slow and irregular heart rate with T3
