Flecainide Worries
I have Afib and my cardiologist wants to start me on Flecainide. I’m terrified to take it after reading all the side affects. I’m in 180mg if Diltiazam and 5mg of Lexapro. I read where both of these have serious side effects when taken with Flecainide. My cardiologist has scheduled a stress test to

Afib medication
just spoken to a heart consultant first appointment. He has took me of bisporpol as heart rate still to high 180 bpm especially when I’m a sleep while in AFib. but I mentioned when I go back into normal sinus rhythm my pulse crashes to 30 beats per minute which makes me poorly in a way that I’m nearly

Atrial tachycardia and PAC burden and urgency of ablation question
So I finally found the report from my 14 day holter monitor and it showed a PAC burden of 4% and 141 episodes of atrial tachycardia originating from the pulmonary vein and the longest stretch being 30 beats (I guess that is what the EP meant when he said i was having mini afib episodes, maybe he was

Should have learned my lesson.
After my last ablation in December 2022, I had one afib episode 8 months later triggered by a hornet sting. After reading so many posts here about the dangers of food preservatives and eating too close to bedtime, I binged on snacks and pastries yesterday too far into the evening, and woke at 3:30 a.m

What to expect after stopping bisoprolol?
Hello. After a meet up with cardiologist, I was advised to stop the bisoprolol 1,25mg which I take daily. The reason I did a meet up is my daily anxiety, bradycardia (40s in rest) and dizziness. I need to continue with propafenone (anti arrhythmic) and currently waiting for an ablation date. My blood

Updates on AF meds
Hello. Had appointment with AF specialist yesterday at Berks Cardiology. Everything went well. He explained everything in detail of my options, and basically said it's my choice to do whatever I wanted. I told him I wanted to exercise again at the gym, he said I could do whatever I wanted to do, but

1st question re cardioversion
Hello everyone - I'm 68 and have had AF for about 2 years. Apart from a brief conversation re cardioversion and ablation when I was 1st diagnosed, none of the cardiologists I have seen have suggested that I should have cardioversion.

Bob update (ICD wound revision)
I was in hospital again yesterday. This was scheduled, following the appearance of Bob and a few friends. Bob was the pet name for a pointy lump next to my clavicle and above my ICD. He was at risk of puncturing through the skin. You can learn about Bob's appearance (or if you are a bit more hip, [i]

Endurance sport and Afib
Hi All, I am new to the group. Some very good posts with lots of living experiences with AFib. I was diagnosed with AFib approximately 3 years ago but suspect I had it a lot longer not knowing the symptoms putting it down to fatigue. It was an Apple Watch that alerted me to AFib and after a hospital

Waiting for ablation
I started in Afib June 2022 after covid, was diagnosed in August and put on Edoxaban and bisoprolol by my GP. In October I was seen by a specialist and put on Amiodarone (I've mentioned the side effects before.. thanks for the responses) and put on the waiting list for a cardioversion. That was done

Afib caused by low heart rate? Ectopics when exercising.
Good morning all,I've had some rather interesting observations over the last few weeks that I would like to share. As background, I had an ablation in July which helped me reduce my Flecainide dose from 2x100 to 2x50mg per day and reduced my Afib episodes to about once per week. My resting heart rate

Cough lozenges
I’ve got a tickly cough and want to suck a lozenge in the hope it will sooth it. I’ve got some Wilko lozenges that are Amylmetacresol. Does anyone know if they are ok to use with Warfarin and Bisoprolol - and of course Afib ! I can’t find this ingredient listed in drug interaction websites so I’m guessing

What would you do in my shoes?
For those who haven't read my profile, back history, 56 year old otherwise healthy female living in Houston, diagnosed with Afib with RVR after throwing up after migraine, have had lots of mini events since (apparently) but not full blown afib. My atria are definitely very kindled now to arrhythmias

Is this A Fib
Hi all, I was diagnosed with PAF in October, I met with a group of friends yesterday and spent a couple of hours chatting, feeling absolutely fine, but when I looked at my FitBit later it recorded my heart rate at between 95 and 120 for 50 minutes. It doesn’t even do this when I’m out walking. The only

Ablation - worries
Hi everyone. I am on the waiting list at Glenfield Hospital in the UK for an ablation I have paroxysmal AF diagnosed in 2020 and I take Sotalol 40mg x 3 a day and Apixaban 5mg x 2 a day. My episodes have been infrequent around every 4 months but more recently every 2 months, having said that the last
