Should I be concerned about lower resting HR on bisoprolol?
I had my first recorded (though probably 3rd in 3 years) AF incident on Sunday and have got 1.25mg of bisoprolol and 5 mg x 2 pd of apixaban. I am a runner so my resting overnight HR is usually low, say mid 40s. My heart returned to its normal rhythm on Sunday night after about 19 hours in AF. So now

Cardioversion - preparation and aftercare - advice please!
Hi everyone, and hope a day of sunshine has raised spirits!I've been placed on a waiting list for cardioversion by my EP which I'm really happy about. I was diagnosed with AF last September or October (got a cat on my knee so can't get up to check the date!) and this rapidly progressed to persistent.

What is wrong with these drs?
Still doing great on Sotalol, so thankful for my new EP. I went to a new primary care last week, and we discussed my AF briefly. He said "why aren't you on anticoagulants?" "My EP said I don't need it at my age and with how little I get AF." He then brought it up again a short time later, "you might

Fifth Ablation Done
The EP at Lovelace Heart in Albuquerque, Dr. Bestswros, (aka TopGun Maverick) zapped everything in sight after trying the usual suspects. His notes: “Pulmonary vein isolation was performed at the level of the antrum. Successful PVI of LSVP. PVI x 3 confirmed. Rotor ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Afib medications
HiI've been reading all the posts for 5 years but never asked anything until today. I was diagnosed with lone perm afib 6 years ago, i was 64. I was totally asymtomatic but advised to take a anticoagulant and beta blocker. I tried a couple of anticoags before settling on eliquis. I could not tolerate

Flax Seeds and A-fib
Hi everyone, I was thinking of introducing milled flax seeds in to my diet as a health thing after watching a programme on them. However, after doing a Google search I am finding that certain sites are pointing towards it not being a good thing when on Anticoagulants. I’m on Apixiban,Bisoprolol and digoxin

exercise anxiety
I used to be a kean, regular runner and back in July 2020 I went running in extreme heat and didn’t feel as energised as normal and felt very lethargic and my heart rate showed readings of up to 208bpm and quite erratic. Again I just put this down to exhaustion. Anyway cutting a long story short, I felt

Afib or something else
A few months ago my Cardiologist told me to stop taking Flecainide daily, and switch to Pill in the Pocket. This morning I woke, to an irregular heartbeat. Normally when I have Afib I definitely feel it, and I also feel a bit lightheaded. Today is different. My pulse is only a bit higher than usual

My Current Stack (what is in yours?)
This is my latest stack. My goal over the last 18 months here is to develop a stack that somewhat made sense to me and then to stick with it and stop bouncing around. I feel like I am pretty close to being there. Of course it is all a crap shoot and a good amount of hopium. I have not been diagnosed

When people go all out to harm you,
do you seek revenge, or just walk away? Mulling over my options right now. Not feeling depressed and anxious so much as angry about the harm done to me, which I never deserved.

Supra Ventricular Ectopy
For the last two to three weeks, I've been having a lot of PACS. Prior to that, I haven't had much of any irregular beats for the last six months. These episodes last for hours, (until my PIP kicks in) and have a high frequency, up to every other beat. I've had two ablations and currently don't take

Exercise suggestions/plans/videos for Afib
It’s been awhile since I posted, although I do check the forum every day, so I have been following all the usual suspects and new arrivals. I was diagnosed at 65 in 2020 with PAF and really struggled to come to terms with my diagnosis as it was mid pandemic and also my mother had the same condition

living emotionally and mentally with afib
I am 82 and have had paroxysmal afib for2+ yrs. I have always been terrified by an attack or waiting for one. They gradually increased to the point that I had cryoablation last September. That helped in that they are more mild and less common. Lately they have been increasing in frequency so I am
