Permanent AF Again
Morning everyone. I have never posted to the forum before although I do try to read some of the posts. I hope this is OK to post. I have permanent AF and to be honest, it sucks. I was diagnosed back in October 2017 and had several cardioversion procedures, an internal cardioversion, cryo ablation

Sick of feeling ill
I am on Edoxaban and Verapamil 120mg only. Since 2021 when first starting beta blockers after having a pacemaker fitted I've had nothing but trouble. The GP's don't have an answer for me with various differing ' diagnosis '. I've posted before and at this moment in time have pretty much constant chest
