Blood pressure monitor
Hoping someone can give me some advice - 5 weeks ago I had an ablation for SVT which was more complicated than they thought as it turned out to be a multi focal SVT. However as part of that they discovered Afib present too. Long story short, I’ve been sent home with daily Diltiazem and Flecainide as

default heart rate when in Afib?
Hi guys Long story short:third ablation failed in May. In between ablations (last 2 years) my afib has been permanent. Ive tried multiple drug combos but the only thing that makes my heart beat normally is an ablation. After latest failed I had a week’s reset after a public hospital cardioversion.

hello
I am a 63 year old man who has suffered with depression and anxiety for many years. And still struggling. I have tried several different medications all have helped to a point but still have the feelings of worthlessness and other symptoms. I have no one who supports me but my daughter the others either

Flecainide and SVTs/Ectopic burden
Hello Everyone I wrote a Post here last March as we were worried about the choices being offered to my Husband for the management of his PAF (anticoagulant, pacemaker, ablation). Many of you kindly answered our questions and gave us the benefit of your experience and my Husband felt pretty confident

loop recorder
I am being asked by an EP/ cardiologist to have them implant a loop recorder to monitor my heart for an extended period of time. This recorder will be recording continuous EKG readings that is transmitted to the treating cardiologist . It is expected that this will allow for better diagnosis and treatment

Doxazosin
I have recently been prescribed Doxazosin to help with hypertension. I was concerned because one of the minor side effects is diarrhoea. I already have chronic diarrhoea due to microscopic colitis.

Statistics, triggers & stroke risk?
Hi all fellow afibbers, I’m hoping to get your opinions and hopefully advice, on a bit of information that I’ve recently picked up on. From articles I’ve read, there are two important statements ; 1) That over the age of 64, it is estimated that 1 in 4 people suffer from Afib & this rises to 50%

Cardioversion and PVCs and PACs
Does a cardioversion help if you have PVCs and PACs or does it only help if you have Afib? I go in and out of Afib but my PVCs and PACs have been non-stop for 3 months. Flecainide did not work. I’m considering a cardioversion as I’m to the point I will try anything to get my heart back into NSR but

Hi all, I’ve been quiet on the group for a while now as after my horrible introduction to rapid AF 18 months ago prompting a couple of stays in CCU things have settled on meds. The cardiologist has discharged me back to the Gp , apart from ectopics & odd thumps/ bumps I am well on adizem & flecanide

UK, 46M So I'm 3 months post diagnosis, only taking 5mg Bisoprolol as a rate control strategy. I have episodes of what I believe to be Afib (very irregular rhythm) regularly - since tracking them at the start of April I've had 47. Longest run without an episode has been 6 days. They are a roughly

Can Afib turn into an irregular heart beat instead ?
Hi All The reason I say this is that I do not get elevated beats per minute I am always in the range of 75 to 95 Yet my watch still says I have AF and when my pulse is taken it is irregular So I wonder if there are different types of AFib ? Otherwise feel 100% ok I am on anti-rat apixaban and

Good Afternoon
I am new here. I hope to find support and give support to people struggling with anxiety and depression. I think mine has stemmed from years of childhood emotional abuse. I still feel at times worthless and self esteem is low. I have many blessings, but just feel like a dark cloud looms at times.

The Temperature “Flip Flop.”
Hello Community Fam, I have a question for anyone experiencing the winter chill. PA is inconsistent with temperatures right now. We melted away the snow from last week; Saturday 55 degrees, this upcoming weekend chilly with temps in the morning around 27 degrees!
