7 Ways to Stop an AFib Attack - John Day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9a54B-7oyE A useful video ( 7 mins) from the author of the excellent book - The Afib Cure. Might be useful to newcomers... 1) Medication PIP 2) Rehydrate 3) Optimise electrolytes 4) Exercise it away (my second choice) 5) Relax (my first choice) 6) Vagal manoeuvres 7)

Afib and migraine aura without headache
I had an ablation almost two years ago. In the month or so after the ablation, I had migraine without aura 3 or 4 times, and read that this happens to some, and that it goes away. And it did but not entirely…which was not surprising as I had had occasional migraine aura without headache since I was

Post ablation
I had a cardiac ablation 2 days for PAfib . I’m feeling well and was told the procedure went smoothly. I had thought that after the procedure I would gradually reduce the medication over a period of perhaps 3 months or so. Instead I’ve been told to take the same dosage as before for 3 months and then

The natural compound atraric acid suppresses androgen-regulated neo-angiogenesis of castration-resistant prostate cancer ...
Came across this tonight. According to the investigators, a compound isolated from Pygeum africanum is the first naturally occurring AR antagonist. While papers on this isolate appear more than a decade ago, the detailed discussion of various mechanisms at play as Pca evolves from castration sensitive

Some interesting questions. Cost of cardioversion?
Hello everybody, Here are some interesting questions. I had 4-5 episodes of AFIB about 4 years ago. It ended with me getting an ablation in December of 2018. I had been AFIB-free 3.5 years. Last week I had an episode. My heart was not beating too fast and I was not feeling too bad. That's quit different

Eliquis/but easy bruiser
Hi, Thoughts: I have been diagnosed with PSVT and a 30 monitor detected only one episode of Afib. My apple watch is what prompted my seeing a cardio as it detected irregular heartbeats. I was on eliquis and no episodes and not spikes, so cardio said to stop taking it and see how it goes. Well, watch

Afib or palpitations?
Once in a while I get very irregular heartbeats after I go to bed at night. My Dr. said they are palpitations and not afib and did not occur during the 24 hour holter monitor, but I noticed a pattern as to when they occur: always after a very salty and probably MSG restaurant meal and a few drinks with

Pacemaker Afib
I have chronic Afib. Have had one ablation and currently on Tikosyn... so far, so good. But, is a pacemaker an option? If you have a pacemaker can you get off the Tikosyn and Diltiazem?

What *should* happen now?
Hello, thank you for taking the time to read - I had a cardiac device (ICD, like a pacemaker) fitted in 2017 and since then, my health has graduallydeclined (physically and cognitively). I am suspecting a link between the implant and trigger of autoimmune/foreign body response, but have been met with

Eating after starting an Afib Episode?
Note: I am thinking about Paroxysmal rather than permanent Afib. I wondered about this and was surprised not to find anything here. Anyone care to share positive or negative experiences? So if you have made dinner and slip into Afib, would you still eat it? Or eat a snack if hungry? Have you perchance

Well, It's always something new and fun
Hey All.... Well, I have PAF and had a echocardiogram the first time in some years (new cardiologist, etc). So...discovered I have mitral valve leakage (regurgitatuon). It's moderate at this point with a EF of 60%. Hope that some others may have experience with this "combo". What has your journey

Oooops!!!
I have had a bit of a stomach bug for the last day or 2 and was just waiting for it to trigger my Afib. Lo and behold it happened this morning. Woke up fine and then boom Afib as soon as I moved my bowels. I have pill in the pocket and took it almost straight away. Normally this sorts me out in about

New to the medical field
I'm new to the medical field, as in less than 2 years of experience. I'm a SRNA at a LTC facility. Have a resident that went into Afib at the hospital. They had normal vitals (temp, pulse, O2, respirations and manual B/P) as they left my Facility less than an hour before they left. I'm just wondering

AR L702H question
So Mike did the guardant analysis and it says he has 1.5%ctDNA or mod for the AR L702H gene mutation. I know this is associated with castration resistance but is there other relevant information about what this might mean? Are there trials for this? Does this mean some treatments might not work as

Blood thinners?
I would like to know if everyone diagnosed with paroxysmal afib is on blood thinners? My EP wants me to start taking xeralto but I am reluctant (reason is a liver leason) however I am on baby aspirin. My afib episodes are short, couple of minutes only but I have ectopics a lot. My doc's explanation
