Have a great weekend
So many positive, caring and kind people on here have supported and comforted me over the last few months since my AFib progressed. It was a nightmare - daily 3 hour interuptions to my life, broken sleep, anxiousness.etc. I am lucky in that I am asymptomatic but still it was a concern. I was placed on

Long Haul Flights
Can I ask, has anyone done a long haul flight [7hrs+] after a major HA. I had one almost 3 yrs ago and had an ICD fitted 2 just over 2 yrs ago. I was wondering what other people did. I've thought about compression socks etc, and did people obtain a fit to fly letter from their GP? I'm flying from the

Is your Afib regular and in between you are ok?
Does anybody have Afib regularly, say every 14 days but between that time you are ok. My Afib is not a fast heartbeat type. I am just irregular. It’s lasts about 3 days. After a night I can exercise and my heart rate may go occasionally up to 160, it goes back down when I stop. This is the only way I

Reactions to Flecainide and Amiodarone?
I am so glad to find this forum. Really validating to see how incredibly different people’s experiences with Afib are and the willingness to share. I’ve been in Afib persistently for a little over three months now. It returned several months after my first cardioversion, and hasn’t stopped except

Digoxin again (and again)
Long story but after being on digoxin for just under a fortnight I began to feel ill : violent palpitations, high heart rate, diarrhoea ( frequent) and generally feeling terrible. Consulted gp who told me it was a bug but he’d write to cardiologist and if I didn’t hear anything after ten days to phone

Advice of ICD options
Hi, I am due to get an ICD fitted in the coming weeks after being diagnosed with brugada syndrome. I believe I will have two options available and would like to know if anyone has any pros or cons to either of the two options available to me. 1. Traditional ICD with wires attached to heart 2. Subcutaneous

Atrial flutter
I’m taking 50mg of flecainide twice a day and 1.25mg of bisoprolol once a day. Played golf this morning and then prepared to celebrate (no alcohol as I’m teetotal) the jubilee by hosting a bbq for around 10. Never really stopped all day and then took my dose of flec at 4pm and around 5.20pm developed

Magnesium and afib
About a year ago, few months after being diagnosed with afib and cardiac arrest, thanks to this wonderful forum, I became a gluten free vegetarian, stopped alcohol and increased my magnesium with eating more nuts and rasberries. I have been afib free since, except for when I stopped my betablocker sotalol

25+ years with persistant AF, now possible AV Node Ablation
I am 52 live in the UK and have had permanent/persistant AF for I don't know how long as I only found out about it 25+ years ago by accident in the gym. I think they call it Lone AFib as historically I have rarely had any troublesome symptoms apart from more recently starting to get a lot more fatigued

Commercial Airline Flight Triggering Afib
Hello All — I was on a 1 1/2 hour flight this morning between Washington DC and Atlanta. About an hour into it, I felt palpitations and soon after we landed, I had a racing heart rate and what felt like Afib. I take 25 mg/day of Metoprolol to control ectopics, blood pressure medication and Xarelto

Digoxin advice again
Hi all I’ve posted a few times recently about AFib returning after Covid. I’m now on digoxin, 2 x Apixaban, and Bisoprolol 10 daily. Been in this for nearly two weeks. At first all was well, but I am now getting daily bouts of quite fierce AFib which are intermittent for around an hour. I’ll speak to

Afib starts between 1am and 2am
I have been researching the Afib at night posts, and went back and looked at the data on my phone, and i noticed that the 2 episodes from last year and 3 from this year mostly started around 1:45am. The only exception was the BIG episode in march which landed me in hospital, and came home with apixaban

Afib and irregular heartbeat
Recently diagnosed with Afib. I have a bp monitor that detects irregular beats and it has on a few occasions. Is this worrying?

Confused about strokes
Hi. I am aware of what a stroke is and I have worked with individuals that have had strokes. This was many years ago when I was able to work! My question is…. Can a person have mini strokes for years and be unaware that they are happening? I had a TBI over 10 years ago and it left me permanently disabled

ICD - What does it feel like when it activates?
Hi, my wife has recently had pacemaker/icd fitted. She is very anxious about what she will experience when the ICD triggers and shocks. Does anyone have any experience of how it feels, i.e is it painful etc? Thanks in advance

Back pain after ICD fitted.
It's been over 3 weeks since I had a CRT-D device fitted. I used to sleep on my left side, so since being fitted, I've been sleeping on my right hand side. I've now got an awful pulled muscle type pain on my right hand side - If I stretch my arm forward, it really hurts in my muscle, just under my shoulder

ICD
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with 32% EF at the end of last year and was referred to have a ICD fitted but so far no action taken , I was wondering if it was common to be kept waiting so long.

Diltiazem, memory and advice
Hello All! I am pleased to have found this wonderful community, although no one goes looking for a reason to join an afib forum... I was wondering if anyone else has had memory issues with diltiazem or other calcium channel blockers? Also, is there anything you wish you had known at the start of your
