I finally got my sublingual buprenorhine!
Hi everybody! Thanks to this forum I finally got a neurologist who was willing to prescribe me 0.2mg sublingual buprenorphine tablets. I've been on 100 tramadol for two weeks and was wondering which would be the wiser way of switching from one to the other and finding the right dose. I'm a bit worried

Stopping an Afib?
I'm very interested to hear of any methods that you've found that actually stops your Afib and restores NSR.Mine always last 15-24 hours and always returns to NSR while I'm asleep. Flecainide has never improved this scenario and my EP has advised me to stop taking it. I've read peoples stories on here

Bothersome side effect from afib
A bothersome side effect that I have experienced when I have an episode of AFib is very frequent urination about every 20 minutes for 1 1/2 hours. Is that side effect treatable? I understand it is caused by a fibrillating atria that releases a cardiac hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide.

Subconjunctival Haemorrhage and anticoagulants.
I noticed I had a subconjunctival haemorrhage in the left eye this morning when shaving. Unfortunately, I had already taken my morning dose of apixaban before I noticed it. I couldn’t get a GP appointment even by phone. Does anyone know what the advice is in this case? Is it recommended to pause the

Had Ablation in '23 lately suffering from frequent PAC's.
Was wondering if any of you fine folks are having or have had bouts of frequent PAC's and what you are doing or what your doctor prescribed to get rid of them. I'm still in sinus rhythm according to my EKG but experiencing PAC's daily. I am currently on no antiarrhythmics and on Metoprolol for rate

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

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

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.
