update / nurse
hi all, well had chat with nurse today and she said my bisoprolol was such a low dose it was not helping me, so going back on my evening one and if that doesn’t help up the flecainide. It’s not what I wanted. All my problems are coming from my left atrium, the rest of my heart is ok so she said. I asked

Post Ablation breathing difficulties
Hi all! So, I’m 11 weeks post my (first ablation) and I seem to be one of the lucky ones with zero Afib symptoms since the procedure. Long may it last! But I’ve been having breathing issues ever since the op and wanted to know if others have been in a similar position? Generally my chest just feels

Never Ending
I was only diagnosed a week ago, after a weekend of being in AFib, went to the ER. Confirmed. It's been non stop ever since. I am now on Xarelto and Metoprolol 50 x2 a day. NO relief. Most of my ECG readings show heart rate around 130-140. BP mostly ok--a bit high, but not awful. I find myself

AF taking a different direction??
Had an AF attack yesterday and it was terminated after 3 hours with my PIP 200 mg Flecainide and half a metoprolol tablet. This is about average and I have attacks every 7 to 10 days. After a few hours rest I went for a walk but didn’t feel great, lethargic and generally off par. I kept checking my apple

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

What do you know about Syncope?
Syncope (fainting episodes) are often the leading symptom to an underlying heart rhythm disorder and some arrhythmias can lead to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). This World #RestartaHeart Day, 🌍 we are talking about the importance of CPR combined with defibrillators during SCA. 💙 Take a look at the #

Can you have thyroiditis with normal lab results?
I started getting a very painful front of neck about 7 weeks ago that was affecting one side but now has spread to the other side. It's not particularly visable but feels swollen to touch. During this time I started with palpitations that seem to get worse during the night and affect my sleep. I have

Interatrial Septal Aneurysm (ASA) - anyone with knowledge or experience of this condition or relevant recent research?
I am 75, with 2 years of paroxysmal AF, and looking again at my first Echocardiogram I had in May 2022, I notice there was a finding of an "interatrial septal aneurysm". This finding was mentioned almost in passing, without further emphasis or mention in the Report's Conclusions. However, while such

Flecainide without Bisoprolol
Just wondered if anyone has experience of taking Flecainide 150 without Bisoprolol 1.25 After wearing a holster for 24 hours my cardiologist is concerned that my heart rate drops to 30 during the night and said it would be okay to try taking Flecinide without Bisoprolol.I have stopped taking Bisoprolol

Newbie Finding Reassurance
I literally stumbled on this forum today whilst trying to breathe through yet another round of ectopic beats. I have had daily ectopics for 3.5 months now and yes, have been to AE and had paramedics out several times. GP surgery has been very slow in diagnosis and help - but I have managed to arrange

Early ablation better at preventing AF progression than drug therapy
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/983882?src=wnl_edit_tpal&uac=181644BG&impID=4857392&faf=1"CHICAGO – Early ablation of atrial fibrillation (AFib) reduces the risk of progression, compared with antiarrhythmic therapies, according to results of a multicenter, randomized trial called PROGRESSIVE-AF.
