Stopping Amiodarone Because of Side-Effects
Hi all, just wanted to share this with the group in case anyone else has had a similar experience. I have been taking Amiodarone since my last(yes, I've had 2!) cardiac arrest in Christmas 2019, with no obvious side-effect apart from burning easily in the sunshine. However, around 6 weeks ago

Slow pulse
Hi Folks, I've just been for my second part of the heart stress test as the consultant wanted to know if I could take flecainide whilst I wait for my appointment to get another ablation. The resting test was last week but today I was told (after the canula had gone in) that my pulse was too low.

Wrist blood pressure monitor
Hi all. I'm looking to buying a wrist blood pressure monitor. I was diagnosed with atrial flutter and had an ablation in May of this year and also have an irregular heartbeat which the EP says is normal for me. If you use a wrist monitor and can recommend a particular one that would be appreciated.

My cardiologist’s instructions on taking beta blockers
I’m in persistent AFib and awaiting my 2nd cardioversion. I too was only taking my beta blocker when my heart rate was raised significantly. WRONG! said the Cardiologist last week (he seemed exasperated) . Take it as prescribed because it will gradually build up a mechanism in your system which is working

can you help me
Hello everyone. I am reaching out because I need some help. I was diagnosed with Afib a month ago. I was given a prescription for Apixiban, which I take 2 x daily and also Metoprolo - to take as needed. I had to take the Metoprolo yesterday because my heart went up to 135 and was also irregular.

Bisoprolol
I have been on Bisoprolol 2,5mg for 10 years and during this time have been in Afib fairly regularly every 6 or so weeks. It usually lasts 12 - 24hours and then converts to NSR. In May I had Covid, and had 3 separate bouts of Afib within a period of approx 10 days. I increased the dosage to 5mg daily

Mitral valve prolapse, regurgitation, annular disjunction & fibrosis

What would you do?
i have occasional bouts of Afib, i guess a couple a year which is not too bad comparing my problem to others. What's worst is my sleeping patterns, very erratic and disrupted. I asked my doctor for somthing to relax me and help me cope at night. Now here's the thing, i am on 80mg of Sotolol twice a day

Cardiac Care
Hi there ! Is everyone with A/F supposed to have access to have a cardiologist or access to an A/F nurse? I was diagnosed with A/F in 2011 and have not seen a cardiologist since. I paid for a private consultation with an EP who was keen for an ablation - I was not at that time - and I haven’t

Update
I diagnosed with Flutter end of June 22 after a couple of trips to A&E. prescribed Edoxaban 30mg with Bisosporol 2.5 daily reduced to 1.25 mg daily as I already have low BP. Episodes of possible Flutter are happening at least once a week. I do have etopics apparently and one ECG showed narrow tachycardia

Unusual AF episode
I went out to post a letter this afternoon and was out for about 15 minutes. On my return I experienced what I thought were ectopics with some very mild chest discomfort. I took a 1lead Kardia to check and was surprised to see the "Atrial Fibrillation" indication with a heart rate of 93bpm. The AF

Feeling fed up
I suffer with idiopathic VF and have a S icd in place. This has saved my life so many times but this last year my defib has had to shock me about 9 times all correctly. My constant and specialist are at a loss the medication I’m on should be stopping the extra heart beats but aren’t. A world renowned
