Travel Insurance
Hi I had an ICD fitted in November.. you might see quite a few questions from me. May I thank people in advance that have taken time out to answer. We have an annual travel insurance policy that isn’t due to expire before our next holiday. Obviously I will need to notify them I’ve had the device

Newbie first post on here.
Morning all, hope everyone is well and warm this cold Sunday morning. Just thought I'd introduce myself as I've just recently joined the forum but I'm also on the bhf and health unlocked site too so here's a brief outline of my journey so far. I've been under the cardiologist for 3 years now with ectopics

cardiac ablation
my cardiologist had recommended an ablation a year ago but I choose to wait. I’ve had very few episodes on Flecinide and Eliquis. Now he’s saying my heart rate is getting too low and we need to revisit having the ablation. I’m looking for feedback from those who have had the procedure.

Back in hospital with fast atrial flutter.
I’m in my local hospital with atrial flutter (and some good old AF) at about 150 bpm (following a bypass about a week ago). This seems to switch on when I sit up in bed or get out of bed. Blood pressure is low at 94/59. It’s too dangerous to cardiovert at the moment. They’ve increased the Bisoprolol

New Here — Most Recent Arrhythmia
Hi, all — I initially posted this to the Afib Forum but just found this group, which seems more appropriate. I was experiencing episodes of tachycardia sometimes lasting up to a half hour or so. Being a non-cardiologist, my first thought was Afib and, indeed, that’s what my Apple Watch said. I ended

Dofitilide without Afib??

Did you Know? 🤔
Did you know 80% of sudden cardiac deaths could be avoided if a defibrillator was used together with CPR within a few minutes? These two simple steps can save thousands of lives each year in UK. Our #DefibsSaveLives campaign promotes the need to equip communities with these life saving devices: https

here’s my Christmas carol
🎤We 3 Kings of AF are; Bearing ectopics we traverse afar; Chest and neck, eyes and forehead ; Following AF route, oooohhhh; Star of AF, star of night , star with awful loss of sight , Palpitations leading , still proceeding , Guide us on to SINUS RHYTHM (🤞🤞🤞) 🎼🎹 Merry Christmas fellow

Is Afib linked to anxiety ?
Hi HU'ers. This article discusses the similarity between afib and anxiety. The conclusion is interesting. [i]'Although chronic stress can affect your cardiovascular health, there isn’t enough evidence to suggest that anxiety causes AFib'[/i] I don't entirely agree with that but let's agree to disagree

What is an AED? 🤔
The first and often only symptom of a sudden cardiac arrest is when someone faints. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heart stops beating suddenly and unexpectedly due to a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system. The cause of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a life-threatening abnormal

Just popping in to say Hi!
I've had what might be described as an eventful week and a bit and felt the need to find out about other people's experiences. Quick history, very small MI 14 years ago, diagnosed with aortic regurgitation, been monitored since then until 5 months ago when told that efficiency dropped and mitral valve

Newby wondering what medicine to take for sickness and diarrhoea?
Hello everyone 🤗, this is my first proper post after dipping in and out to read your chats which I have found invaluable to settle my nerves somewhat after being diagnosed with Afib. However, I’m suffering with sickness and diarrhoea and am aware that while on the afib drugs you have to be careful what

Afib Wearables, capturing data for your EP and a helpful tool.
Thought I would give an update as to my personal study of my AF. For those that have not been following my posts, I consciously decided not to take medications for my AF so I could study the beast by trying alternatives to medications. One of my earliest thoughts was to set up a citizen science website

Aching feet at night
I’ve been taking Carvedilol for 9 months after AFIB . Had Cardioversion and Ablation but still have occasional AFIB. Now experiencing pain in my feet at night. Had anyone had the same issues and found relief?

AF and now coronary artery disease at 47. I recently had a CT angiogram and the results aren’t great. Back to being scared and worried.
So I first came on this forum with my Afib diagnosis and was terrified and depressed about the diagnosis and medications. I had good news from my echocardiogram as I had no damage at all. The last hurdle was a CT angiogram sadly I’ve not made it so well past this hurdle. I’m absolutely gutted to be honest
