Cardioversion with amiodarone or straight to ablation?
CV 24/2 failed after 1 week. Heart function team suggest course of amiodarone combined with further CV after a few months of this medication. They have left it with me to consider what I would prefer to do. Either proceed with the above ( with a list of potential side effects which are impossible

Commenced Bisoprolol
Hi I suffer from Paroxysmal AF. I have been taking Rivaroxaban for 2 months. I saw the cardiologist and he has started me on 2.5mg Bisoprolol daily. I took my first dose at 10am and by 2.30pm my Heart Rate had dropped to 50 bpm. My question is to others who take Bisoprolol for rhythm control and who

Christmas/Holiday Anxiety
*Update* Yesterday, I took a friend with me and went for a test drive to see how it affected me. I drove 2 hours, into an especially beautiful part of the country, had a lovely lunch, and drove home again - in total, about 7 hours out and about. Many stops for photo's, brief walks and looking at interesting

Treadmill test
As an aid to diagnosing persistent chest pains - the consultant thinks they are non-cardiac but wants to investigate a bit more-I’m to be given a treadmill test in a few weeks. I asked for this instead of the more rigourous but not very pleasant “stress test”. The heart rate will be raised to 100 during

Low dose <5mg eliquis
I am taking Eliquis 5 mg twice a day. I get some significant bruising. I am also taking ibrutinib 140 mg which is lowest dose...blood counts are good. I was also diagnosed with afib. I'm wondering if anyone is taking less than 5 mg Eliquis twice daily and if that works? I've talked with a couple friends

Worried about these results please help
Had this blood test done in January and had text to say book a non urgent appointment and just put it off also getting print out from docs they’ve requested a telephone consultation which I’ve eventually booked but looking at it I know the TSH is low in their opinion and obviously cholesterol too high

Arrhythmias
Hi Everyone,I have Afib, 1st episode in December 2022 resolved by cardioversion followed by 2 episodes in July 2023, lasting 24 and 12 hours respectively. I am currently on 1.25 bisoporal daily. Over recent nights I have been getting arrhythmias which my scan watch and omron devices don't classify as

fluoxetine
hi So I’ve asked before about Fluoxetine as treatment for my raynauds I’ve been told it’s extreme primary although they haven’t ruled out secondary. I’m anxious of taking drugs and wondered what experience anyone has had with fluoxetine. Effectiveness, side effects and is alcohol ok? Thanks all

cardioversion and Flecainide
An update - I had my cardioversion privately a week ago - all good, so far….. I feel so much better. HR now around 55-60 instead of 90-100 ( on high dose drugs) I was immediately taken off Digoxin and told to continue the BB Nebivolol 10mg a day. Then started on Flecainide 100mg daily, with the BB.

Polyunsaturated fats v saturated fats
I am so confused! I read on another site polyunsaturated fats are bad for people with hypothyroidism and saturated fats are recommended. I tend to follow the Mediterranean way of eating more for heart health and keep slim. This includes oily fish , avocados and nuts which are PUFAs. My GP wanted me

new liver dr
I am seeing a new dr and he’s apparently one of the best in the area. I wanted to pass along some of his information. he said liver inflammation starts when numbers hit 150 for ALT or AST he believes I have a condition that causes intermittent elevated liver enzymes but since mine are only at 35 and

Today I recorded them pretty consistently 3-6 per minute. So bummed as I haven’t really even been aware of my heart beat in last

Slight ache near heart
I had abdominal surgery in November. They used inappropriate dressings despite being warned and I had very inflamed skin on the stomach area. This all triggered paraxsysmal af. I then had terrible burning/itcing all over the torso for which I was prescribed strong pills. I have had a bad yeast problem

Do you know your pulse?
Your heartbeat is the most fundamental rhythm in your life, signalling the regular pumping of your heart as it propels blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to the rest of your body. We take the regular beating completely for granted, never giving it a second thought until the elegant control process
