So took another 1.25 and after a few hours still in AF so had to go. I have asthma and I have felt that lately I thought the Bisoprolol was to blame for more shortness of

Bisoprolol and low heart rate
As my heart palpitations were becoming unbearable, I finally agreed to try bisoprolol, just 1,25mg daily. Well, the good news is that the palpitations and the breathlessness have almost gone . The bad news is that my resting heart rate is down to 45 in the afternoon, going up to 58 when I'm active.

Hi to Everyone, Hoping for some advice, information on what to expect next. Had an ICD fitted in Feb 2022 and was put on max dose of Betablockers , 200 mg. Alas over the weekend had a series of dizzy spells which ended with a massive shock from the ICD. Emergency admission, very dramatic, followed

Should I lower flecainide dose to 1X per day instead of twice a day.
I have both a cardiologist and electrophysiologist since my first episode almost five months ago. I have lost twelve pounds and almost to my BMI weight recommended by the cardiologist. I had the Nuclear Stress test in my Cardiologist office because they had the convenience of taking he Lexiscan sitting

ICD therapy and reapplying for driving licence
I am approaching the time when I should be able to start applying for my driving licence. I had an ICD fitted last August and voluntarily surrendered my licence. It was tough, but I did it over the phone and the DVLA person was really helpful and empathetic. I then received device therapy in October,

Drop in BP
I am wondering if any of you afibbers have had extreme drops in your blood pressure when you are in afib or even when you are not in atrial fibrillation ? For the past 24 hours I’ve been in and out of NSR , mostly out. After a rather busy day, I got home unloaded a plant from my car, walked to backyard

No diagnosis - still in hospital on my 34 th day!
Hi all, I was asked to update after I scattered a few posts earlier in the month seeking information following a collapse (syncope) while running in my local Parkrun. That was back on January 27th.I bigged up my ILR as it later showed I had had a left ventricular tachycardia lasting for 23 seconds.

Nuclear Stress Test in Chair was so easy.
Had the Nuclear Stress test in the apparatus similar to a dentist chair. It was a Lexi Scan with injection but did not have to lay flat and was less than half the time of the round donut looking machine. My cardiologist did not have the newer technology he wrote me a referral to go to a cardiologist

Arrhythmia anxieties pre-cardioversion
Hi everyone, just looking for others' experiences and reassurance. Since having open heart surgery 12 weeks ago to correct a hole in my heart (diagnosed out of the blue at Christmas), I have been in arrhythmia for about 6 weeks. I had 48 hours on a holter monitor and this showed atrial flutter. I was

Can Anyone On This Forum Please Explain
I just got back a little ago from a few hours visit at my local VA Hospital. While I was there I went into AFIB and had an ekg done. The Dr. came in and said my heart rate was high but it's coming down. I told her I know because I have paroxysmal AFIB and she said you have Chronic AFIB. I told her I
