Reducing bisoprolol
After an ablation in early April I went into symptomatic AF after two days but have since had a successful cardioversion. I remain in NSR and on advice from the arrhythmia nurse have reduced my bisprolol from 5mg to 2.5 mg daily. I'm a week into the lower dose. My heart rate has increased, which doesn't

Bisacodyl has been prescribed for me
I’ve been on laxido for constipation for the last two years or so. At first it was ok with very little side effects. However, recently over the last few months I’ve been suffering from bloating, trapped wind and excess gas which are side effects of laxido. I met with my gastroenterologist today and

Change proposed to medication for epilepsy
I have asked for my Tegratol medication for epilepsy to be changed to something else as it interferes with use of simpler blood thinners. I am currently on Tegratol 200mg twice daily, 9mg warfarin and 10 mg Bisoprolol daily. It was also suggested I start on digoxin although my heart rate has not been

Do you or someone you know have Atrial Fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia affecting many individuals worldwide. AF can increase the risk of stroke. The irregular heart rhythm causes the blood to pool and this may cause a blood clot to form in the heart chambers which can then be carried to the small blood vessels in the brain

Another Update
Well following previous posts and still no results from Holter monitoring had letter from Cardiologist to say that due to misunderstanding I should be taking 100mcg of Losartan divided into two 50 in morning and 50 at night. I have only been taking 50 once a day as that’s what it looked like on the

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.

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

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

Should I push for more help
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

Study to help patients manage their underactive thyroid
Just saw this and thought both that it is interesting it is being done. And, secondly, wondered if any would be willing to take part. I've scan read the information about the study and it appears that there is no geographical limit (please reply to let me know if I am wrong!) - just that you need to

Strophantus D4 heart arrhythmia
I have already asked recently about heart arrhythmia since Pred. And it seems many people have that problem. I have been taking Strophantus D4 tablets for a few weeks and have had no more heart attacks at night. Sometimes I still have little heart palpitations. I hope it lasts 🤞🏻

Sweetened drinks linked to atrial fibrillation risk
Many, many years ago, I used to occasionally have a gin and tonic or angostura and tonic (if driving). And became convinced that, if the tonic contained saccharin, I would likely end up having a relatively high heart rate. But this was long before I had any idea about afib. As I hate the taste of saccharin
