Bisoprolol, Sotalol and Coronary Artery Disease.
I had a phone consultation with a cardiologist today and it was agreed that I would have a CT angiogram in 4-6 weeks. He considers that there is a “moderate” probability that I have coronary artery disease. In the meanwhile he wants me to switch from Sotalol to Bisoprolol. I am reluctant to do this as

afib and blood pressure
Hello all, paramedics just left about half hour ago and I need to ask a question. My blood pressure shot up to 203/134 at my last reading before the paramedics arrived. They took blood pressure and said it was 177/97 they saw I was very anxious and stressed out. Asked if I wanted to be taken to emergency

Afib and Covid
What I had thought a few days ago was a cold, has turned out to be Covid. Here I was, prattling on about humidity and all the while, good old ‘Rona’ was brewing. My Afib had been a bit more evident in recent weeks, but not bothersome. My Covid seems to have peaked quickly and the headache and fever have

Ectopics and flecainide
Morning everyone. I have posted here recently concerning flecainide and received some very helpful information. Since being recommended this drug for my ectopic beats (which I have tried to 'live with') by an EP, my consultant has since suggested I try it as a pill in the pocket. The recommended dosage

Ideas to try to help fall asleep
I was thinking some of the drugs that help PC may also have effects such as insomnia, but I don't know sure. I have trouble myself, sleeping at times. For me, I know it is because my mind won't shut off, I am a worrier. Here are a couple things that may help to fall asleep. Try to wind down at

Third Ablation
I had my third ablation two days ago. My EP was very pleased with the procedure and I was in normal sinus right after but about eight hours later I went back into AFib. I was so disappointed. However, he assured me the ablation was a success but it will take a little while for the heart to recover. I

Adrenals or Not Adrenals
Well, further to my post last week, I've had the results of both my faecal occult blood test (for new re-occurring digestive issues) and BNP blood test (for indications of heart failure) and all have come back normal with no further action required. The extreme fatigue has improved significantly

Update on my Pace and Ablate
Last Friday I went for the ablation of my sinus node in great trepidation but I needn't have worried as it all went like clockwork. The sedation was wonderful and I was back on the ward within an hour and home in time for tea! The first couple of days were a bit uncomfortable and I dropped off the

Aggressive Afib
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,

Is ADT beneficial after castration resistance sets in?
If PSA is rising at the same doubling time (3 weeks) as it was without ADT (when I was Castration sensitive and did intermittent ADT breaks), then is it useful to keep taking ADT? If so, why? Is that because the ADT would be slowing some castration sensitive cancer, even though the castration resistant

Suddenly Glad....
In my first post to the community, I was wondering if I should get an ablation or not, based on the advice of a somewhat snarky cardiologist. Since then, I have had a second opinion from both a new cardiologist and a new electrophysiologist. BOTH said they saw no reason to rush into this. The cardiologist

Feeling really down
I am week 7 post my first cryoablation for paroxysmal AFib. For the first week or so I had NSR fluctuations with mild AFib. Since 6th September I have been in constant AFib with HR ranging from 80-120bpm. I have tried and failed to get any real advice from AFib nurses and the EP who did my procedure

Forging On in Permanent AF
Hi everyone. Saw Cardiologist for Paroxysmal AF in December 2019. He referred me to an EP. In Feb 2020, the week before I was due to see the EP, I had an SCA towards end of a squash match. According to all the reporting protocol records, despite 12 minutes of defib resus efforts by the squash centre

Arial Fibrillation and Cardioversion
I have just joined and read a lot of your posts on Atrial Fibrillation with interest ad thought you might like to hear my experiences. I woke up one night in 2016 with a pulse of 160 against a normal constant of 2016. Next morning a trip to the GP and I was immediately sent to A and E given medication

Post Ablation change in meds
I have/had PAF and had been taking Sotalol 120 2x daily, Diltiazem 120 1x and Eliquis before my ablation which occurred in January 2022. Since I had no further occurrences of Afib, my EP reduced the Sotalol to 80 2x in April. During my follow up visit with my EP this week he discontinued the Sotalol
