KardiaMobile and Apple Watch
I recently wore a heart monitor for two weeks. While on the monitor both my CardioMobile and my Apple Watch picked up several episodes of Afib, PACs, and Etopics. The results from the heart monitor test showed I had some episodes of PACs but otherwise the test was normal. It never picked one single

Vagal a fib
I listened to a cardiologist on utube. He mentioned vagal a fib. Does any one what this is? It seems to be a younger cohort but I presume it comes with the usual meds. How can you find out if you have it? I seem to be able to stop a fib attacks with vagal manoeuvres and sometimes my a fib is brought

I am so confused about bisoprolol...please help.
Hi i was prescibed 1.25 dose of bisoprolol after being admitted to a+e on 7 Feb. I have known Afib, not permanent afib. Over past year i have been told by EP, top thorasic surgeon, and several cardiologists that anti arrthymia meds and rate control meds are not an option open for me to be presribed this

Post Ablation advice please??
I underwent an RFA for Afib and Aflutter in late last year (coming up on end of blanking period) for paroxysmal afib/flutter first diagnosed 5 years ago. I have been on Flecainide and Diltiazem for several years. Prior to the ablation, I would experience episodes about 2x a week for about 12-24 hours

Different treatments
Hi I have been in Afib twice before over a ten year Span one of these occasions was also viral I think. Last February 2023 I woke up with a bad virus which I had all week and stupidly worked through. We also have a lot of family stress to deal with, feeling my heart was out of rhythm again this being

Pacemaker Anxiety
I am shortly to have a biventricular pacemaker fitted and have opted for defibrillator back up. Was very pleased when this was suggested for my heart failure for which medication treatment is restricted by my kidney disease. (Yep. I'm a bit of a wreck !) Now the date is approaching and I'm having cold

coming off sotalol
I had my ablation in September. Just had my follow-up appointment this afternoon and the Doctor, who did my ablation, said it went well, my ECG was ok and he said I should come off the Sotalol tablets. I have been on these for a lot of years, so am a bit worried about stopping them. I had to stop them

Afib Medication
Permanent Afib was diagnosed years ago. No symptoms until heart rate is checked. Doctor prescribed Amiodarone - bad side effects stopped using Bisoprolol - bad side effects stopped using The doctor said to stop using and if I wanted to go med-free and I have no symptoms go for it. Which I have

What constitutes low heart rate?
Recently prescribed bisoprolol 1.25, consultant did say if HR drops to low I should stop taking it. HR is 34/35 when I'm asleep. Should I be concerned about this? HR seems to be okay during the day but difficult to establish because it fluctuates because I have been in constant AFib for two days now

EP consult
The cardiologist I see is not able to provide medical management of my paroxysmal afib due to my low heart rate and low blood pressure (can't risk pushing either value lower), so I am hoping for an ablation. This morning, due to a cancellation, I was able to bring my initial EP consult forward by 1

Is my AFib back ? Not quite a year since ablation.
I have had diarrhea for 7 days . Probably Norovirus.My Emay (Kardia equivalent) Shows Arrythmia most of the time and I really struggled today just walking around.Really lightheaded. No breathlessness & HR not terrifically high. Does anyone know if the ECG shows AFib or what it actually shows. We are

Should one asymptomatic and isolated AF episode be medicated?
Hi Forum. At my pre op assessment (for hip surgery) last Monday the ECG showed AF. No symptoms at all, I walk my dogs +/- 4 miles daily. My BP machine shows normal resting heart rate and BP. So on strength of one ECG my GP has prescribed anticoagulant tabs which I know is for the AF risk of clotting.

home from cardioversion
so I had my 2nd cardioversion today, first one lasted over 2 years……so hopefully this one will last a fair while too. Only took one zap and I was back in sinus rhythm. This time I’ve been told to continue my bisoprolol but last time I wasn’t on them at all. Hopefully this wil keep me in sync until I

L Glutamine
Hi everyone, could anyone advice me on L Glutamine, I have Intestinal Metaplasia and I don't know if I should take it. I have read it supports the stomach lining but I am concerned that this would only help a 'normal stomach' and I may do more harm than good. Thanks
