Hello all, I’m weighing the decision of meds vs ablation for my Afib. I am currently doing fine on meds, Xarelto and 50mg Flecainide 2x daily that my cardiologist prescribed. However, I am waiting on a referral to an electrophysiologist. While waiting, I am trying to learn and gather as much info

Hi. I'm Amelia. New here. Age 63. Paroxysmal AFib since at least 2015. Dx in 2018. Rx Metoprolol. Question: is there any way of measuring the force of your irregular heartbeats? Just wondering if that could explain the difference between people who don't feel their Afib and people that feel all of it

It's just about 12 months since my ablation and it's been a crazy ride but I'm now a month without any detected afib and 2 weeks fully off Flecainide.I'm not counting my chickens yet but here's my story to hopefully give hope to people on this forum.

I posted the following in a different thread, edited a little for this post to make more sense. I felt some might not have read it there and might be interested in replying. I wonder what others' views are on "being strong" when faced with illness, well - arrhythmias in our case (for some daily, maybe

It's nearly two weeks since I had a successful cardioversion after being in permanent AF following an ablation ten weeks ago. I'm on 5m bisprolol and 200mg amiodarone daily. I'm feeling much better for being in NSR and able to do a lot more (I was very symptomatic in AF). I do still get slightly breathless

How do you discern what is a side effect of a new med vs a side effect of arrhythmia? I feel absolutely terrible. I feel like I am 100 years old, am fatigued, feel super lethargic, and short of breath with exertion. My legs ache. I can't sleep. I feel super, super worn down and just physically unwell

I am thinking of going back on antidepressants. I have had two catheter ablations for afib with my last one being one year ago. I am experiencing ectopics now and may need to go back on Sotalol if I drop back into afib. Is it safe to take antidepressants with Sotalol or other anti-arrhythmics?

Hi everyone, I have had IBS-D for over 40 years and feel like I am at the end of my rope. I'm in the middle of a bad flare up and had a panic attack at my doctors yesterday. She prescribed sertraline, alprazolam, and Viberzi. I have been reading about the sertraline and am scared of taking it. I swear

That’s according to pooled analyses from two clinical trials presented at the European Congress of Rheumatology 2023, held May 31 to June 3 in Milan, Italy.

First question: I had an episode of atrial fibrillation Friday morning. Usually, when I have an episode, I feel normal after it stops.
