Persistent afib treatment options, can't tolerate Amiodarone - so many questions...
I'm feeling rather lost at sea, I have so many unknows and questions so I'm sorry if this is a bit messy. Think I'm looking for your experiences and help with what I should ask the cardiologist about/for. BTW we live in the England so NHS. In short... Persistent new onset afib (always bradycardia) since

Tall tales
New Scientist, 11th November edition (p18) has an interesting article. Researchers at Uni of Bristol examined records of 454,000 adults and found that "... taller people have a greater risk of having irregular heart rate." Further, that those "... taller than average at age 10 were more likely as an

bisoprolol reduction
Thank you everyone for your replies. After my visit to A and E on Sunday the doctor told me to take an additional 1.25mg of bisoprolol for 3 days so now taking 2.50mg per day. I think I was a little naive but trusted the hospital to reduce to 1.25 after my cardioversion he said my heart rate was

Paroxysmal and permanent Afib
Does anybody know when paroxysmal Afib becomes permanent? I was diagnosed with paroxysmal Afib towards the end of 2022, after I had been fitted with a Linq loop recorder. I was only ever having short episodes lasting up to 8 hours, then on 13th October just gone I started with an episode which is still

Covid vax and AFIB
just as an FYI, I had a Covid vaccination (Pfizer) a couple of days ago and I developed AFIB within a few hours. It did resolve itself overnight after I took extra metoprolol.

Newbie - Constant bradycardia afib/arrhythmia symptoms?
Hi! I'm curious if anyone has/had constant 24/7 bradycardia afib/arrhythmia? What symptoms did you experience? Short background, husband had an ICD implanted 6 of Feb and it has caused/triggered constant afib (reading medical research I now understand these procedures are known to in cases be pro-arrhythmic

Stopping Sotolol after ablation - fast HR and breathless
Hello, I am an ablation for Paroxysmal AFib and Flutter on 11th July. All went well. As well as AFib I used to get long periods ( a week or more) of other arrhythmia -PACs, SVTs, PVCs. They told me the ablation might not help stop these. During the 3 month blanking period, had some days of chest

Troponin serial levels
I had an Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest back in Sept last year. Long story short came out of hospital a week later with a defibrillator implanted. However, my discharge letter stated that a Troponin test was done as usual I presume and the serial levels were quoted as 163 and 425. I have been curious

Interesting to know...
If you had the idea that AF is reserved for us, humans, you were wrong. It is kinda catching, lol, so our pets can also have AF problems. Here a passage from an article, talking about AF in cats and dogs and the interdependence of heart size and the probability to have AF (allegedly, larger hearts (sportsmen

Hi you lovely people. long story so I’ll keep it short. Iv had 3 ablations and have a history of palpitations. went to GP asked for a monitor because I’m getting ectopics frequently. He said NO need but come for ECG in 2days and bloods.!! I wasn’t happy so asked to be referred to a cardiologist

What’s an acceptable rate?
so I’m back in afib, doctor sent me home with 2.5mg of bisoprolol and also blood thinners. At moment my heart rate when not doing a lot (sitting down watching tv) is around 90-100bpm. Sometimes In the 70s and 80s and even lower 60s and possible 50s when asleep! So basically I’d say my base rate is

Cardioversion/Ep study
I recently had an Ep study to determine whether I had SVT or Afib., even though I had been diagnosed in 2021 with Paroxysmal Afib. The cardiologist said it was a long shot but if it was SVT he would ablate it. Unfortunately throughout the procedure my heart went into Afib and they had to cardiovert

a flutter ablation versus a fib ablation
I’m a 70-year-old male that’s had four ablations all unsuccessful. Three years ago I had a pacemaker being my pulse rate, went down to 25. I’ve tried Tyson and that worked get me back in rhythm but I had to go off because my QT number was very long and they were concerned about sudden death. They put

Propafenone Back!!!
JimF here in the U.S. A while back I posted regarding the critical shortages of Propafenone, which then bled over to shortages of Flecainide and Tikosyn.......which may continue until February. I'm happy to say that my 90 day supply of propafenone has just been refilled by my pharmacy, a truly "thank

Advice regarding setting of expectations ahead of cardiology appointment would be appreciated.
AF since March 23. Currently only really experiencing breathlessness on inclines. No experience of HR over 100 (as far as I know). Devices confirm persistent AF since March. Echo revealed a few mild heart failure issues and recommended cardiology review, which is due in a couple of weeks. My question

Afib worse since Ablation
I had Covid in Oct 2022. I was 57 at the time and in really great shape. I exercise everyday, average about 15,000 steps a day and fast 2 to 3 days a week. As my Covid was winding down and I was feeling better I started having Afib Episodes for the first time in my life. They started off

How do I know I’m in Afib ?
Diagnosed with afib about 6 weeks ago. Was being treated for tachycardia prior to this, with Diltiazem 120mg x 2d. . Now on 180mg Diltiazem x 2 day, plus Edoxaban. I wasn’t aware of myself being “ in afib” until I was seen by gp. I’ve read lots of comments here where people seem to know when they
