Anti-arithmetic meds with Paxil (Paroxetine) - an anxiety med.
Was just wondering if anyone is on or has tried Flecainide or Propafenone while also taking Paxil (Paroxetine)? If so, how did it work out? Side effects or health issues or none at all? Thank you for anyone who cares to reply!

Anti-Arithmetic meds while taking Paxil (Paroxetine) - an anxiety med.
Does anyone take Paxil (Paroxetine) with Flecainide or Propafenone? Both these AFIB meds work better for vagal AFIB. Was just wondering if anyone mixed these two drugs, and if it has worked out or not? Thank you for any and all replies!

Atrial Flutter and AFib
Hello, Briefly I've had multiple Aortic/Mitral valve surgeries, with the second in 2013 I acquired Complete Heart Block, Permanent AF, Shunt, and my Pacemaker. I'm probably lucky that I've been reasonably stable over the years, other than every now and again having the PM settings altered. On Warfarin

6 month post mini maze (surgical ablation) in the U.K. All is going well, no regrets
hello you lovely lot. I thought I would give you an update as I have had my 6 month (and final eeeek) review with my mini maze surgeon Mr Hunter this morning. All has been going well, in sinus rythm since my mini maze. I had a two week heart monitor a few weeks ago, all good! I have a low burden

kardia
Hi, I had atrial flutter treated successfully by ablation 2 years ago. I still take anti-coagulants and have been told that I could now stop these. I am worried about doing this, so my doctor is suggesting monitoring with a Kardia device for a few months and if all good, then stopping. My question

Persistent Afib
Thank you all for your encouraging replies to my post yesterday. Yes unless I have something wrong with me or I over exercise my heart rate does not go above 100. The only worrying concern is the Kardia readings which consistently show a variation of between 2.5 and 6.5 squares in one reading. If you

Gca Flare after 5 years ?
I was diagnosed GCA by biopsy in December 2017 and had all the classic symptoms, one was migraine aura which stopped once on 60mg. I've been tapering very slowly and got to 1 mg in September this year. Two weeks ago I had a migraine aura, my first since 2018. The only other symptom is some scalp tenderness

AV Node ablation.
I have a meeting with my EP in 3 weeks time to discuss my ongoing afib issues. I'm assuming he will be advising me to go ahead with an AV node ablation to help control my afib, which l now get every other day lasting on average for 4/5 hours. Although there are lots of positive stories here regarding

Age, cycling (ebikes) and afib.
Interesting article in one of my subscriptions...about how ebikes have made a difference in the lives of cyclists (like me) who are past their *best before date* on 2 wheels lol. One of the guys has afib, so thought I'd share; "The benefits of riding an electric bike also rang true in our chat with

Fitbit for a fib?
hi all. My husband has had paroxysmal a fib for last 4 years and takes digoxin. We use the Kardia mobile with great success. I’m wondering whether to get him either a Fitbit or more expensive Apple Watch so he can keep an eye on how high his rate goes while out on his daily walk. I don’t think it’s

Amiodarone - yes or no ?
Hi all. Just interested to hear from any forum members who have used / or are using Amiodarone to treat their afib. To help with afib it seems to be a last resort medication - I understand that it can and does cause bad side effects. However if you can tolerate these it appears to be the most effective

”Aggressive” AF
Does anybody on here have experience or encouraging stories about Atrial Fibrillation especially the aggressive kind. I'm 43 and diagnosed with AF in March '21. I've had a cardioversion, 2 ablations in the upper chamber and 1 ablation in a lower chamber. The last ablation was in June then in July, I

Look after yourself!
Hi everyone, as you will know from previous posts, my hubby has decompensated liver and is still drinking, with an "If I die, I die" attitude. So today saw me at the GP for myself (felt a bit self indulgent tbh) and I've got low haemoglobin, low vitamin levels, possibly due to Covid a couple of months

Exercise and Afib
I'm sure you all already know this but I discovered this recently. My cardiologist sent me to cardiac rehab because I have afib and some wall weakening in the heart. The idea is to strengthen the heart muscle to be able to handle any arrhythmia that may come my way. I always thought that talk
