AF and sleep study -Cpap
I was told by the lead of he sleep study at NHS that there is a link with sleep apnea and AFib. She suggested to me that all people who suffer with AFib ask their GP to be referred for a sleep study.

Being ill is very lonely
Good evening. Not sure if I'm in the right place but after having a S.C.A.D heart attack in 2019 I thought I had recovered well n went back to work. Feb this year was told I needed an ICD. Had it April. It went off once and I felt it "did the job". Then beginning of October it went off 5 times in succession

Left Bundle Block complications.
Hi all. I have a friend in his 70s who has just had a pacemaker fitted for a heart arrhythmia......and been diagnosed with Left bundle block. He was absolutely fine up until recently, except he had been getting a few palpitations and then passed out briefly and hit his head on the floor. He is just

ablation - types and pacemaker
I found my way into this very helpful forum because I have experienced Afib following my 2nd ablation for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). It seems my SVT is gone, but it might have been replaced by afib. I think afib ablation is more complex than SVT ablation, takes longer to perform and also has

Back home from Ablation
Morning all, I got home late last night from from my cryo ablation at St Barts. They gave me transport to and from as I was struggling with that aspect which was brilliant. Had a bit of an issue with low blood pressure afterwards but I do tend to suffer with fairly low blood pressure anyway. I don’t

Pill in pocket
Look forward to comments. Seems my cardiologist wants to cover all the bases (more medications = better protection). GP agreed I should try coming off flecainide. Taking Xarelto blood thinner to be safe. Use Apple Watch and take ECG readings at every opportunity. Five days ago I went off flecainide

Ablation Booked
So a week on Sunday, heading into the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for my ablation for the PAF. Not too anxious bearing in mind I had the same procedure over three years ago to fix the flutter and then three weeks later, the catheter cardioversion to fix the fibrillation triggered by the original procedure

Importance of Blood Testing
Diagnosed with afib in Feb '21, taking .50gm of metoprolol to control heart rate. Recent blood test revealed glucose increased from 100 to 140 likely caused by metoprolol. Cardiologist currently considering other medications. (prior glucose readings were always below 110). Would encourage all to

Why continue warfarin?
Will I be okay to go off warfarin and switch back to taking 2 low dose aspirin daily? My cardiologist just shrugged and said he can't make me continue warfarin. I believe my diagnosis of AFib was erroneous.

Gum disease link to AFib and Ortner’s syndrome
Dear Community, I know that this may only apply to a small number of people, but even if it just helps one person then it’s worth me sharing! This is my theory, although it was also the opinion of the ENT consultant. Due to covid, I missed dental and hygienist appointments, I then had periodontal disease

A little disheartened!
So I'd rather keep things positive but I suppose I can only be honest! Its 7 weeks since ablation for afib. Before ablation I was symptomatic during afib (shortness of breath,dizzy and palpitations and sweating) but when it self terminated after a while I was generally fine. And could excersise generally

After a cardio version what things should you avoid doing in relation to exercise or every day stuff? To reduce risk of returning to AFib?
Post HA, arrest and a stent ( which put me into continuous AFib) 3 months ago Saw arrhythmia specialist yesterday and will have 1st cardio version in about 4 weeks. I was very fit and used to exercise before this lot. I’m now in slow lane at swimming and get breathless walking to quickly or up a small

Upgraded from paroxysmal afib into pafib…. Deep joy! Update, update!!
After eight straight days of continuous afib and one day in A&E, I converted back to NSR earlier this afternoon! To say I’m relieved would be an understatement but I’m now paranoid about flipping back at anytime. This really is a most horrid condition! My burning question now is, do I carry on taking

Flecainide with Afib and LBBB?
Hello, In a bid to stop me going into Afib my electrophysiologist has stopped my very low dose of bisop for what I think says Diltiazen ER and flecainide 100mg bd. I was previously told by my cardiologist I should not take flecainide due to my LBBB. I did mention this to the EP, who said my heart function

Vagal Nerve stimulation
Has anyone explored ways of stimulating the vagal nerve as a way of preventing AF as seems to be responsible for possibly the majority of Afib triggers? Wouldn't it be great if just like a pacemaker we could have a vagal nerve implant to give it a jolt when it's thinking of doing it's dirty work!!!

Nerve pain
Hi all, I had my ICD fitted 19days ago. I was just wondering if anyone else had gotten nerve pain down the side of the neck and near collar bone? I've had it on and off since it's been fitted, I've also had chest pains too which I went to A&E for but they couldn't find what caused that. Just wondering

Upgraded from paroxysmal afib into persistent afib…. Deep joy!
Well, following on from my previous post about longest time in afib with pafib. After five days stuck in afib I gave up trying to sit it out and went to A&E hoping they’d zap me out of it, apparently not as I’d waited too long? I was in hospital for 12 hours, 8 of which was spent on a bench in a corridor
