ICD therapy and reapplying for driving licence
I am approaching the time when I should be able to start applying for my driving licence. I had an ICD fitted last August and voluntarily surrendered my licence. It was tough, but I did it over the phone and the DVLA person was really helpful and empathetic. I then received device therapy in October,

Any advice on Lead extraction op welcome please
I have been offered an invasive option as we've exhausted most unsuccessful options of medications. I seem to have settled best on Quinedine now after several allergies to other meds. Unfortunately though, I had another defibrillator shock recently after nearly 2 years without any. As I still get almost

anterior wall afib ablation update from April 28th
I am super excited, I had a follow up with my EP Dr. Here in Arkansas, they did tests including my pacemaker interrogation… Whooo Hooo, it showed NSR 99+%, less than 1% out, but NOT afib! Never give up, I wish I had followed Cleveland Clinic DR advice 4 years ago, following up with a 3rd ablation after

No diagnosis - still in hospital on my 34 th day!
Hi all, I was asked to update after I scattered a few posts earlier in the month seeking information following a collapse (syncope) while running in my local Parkrun. That was back on January 27th.I bigged up my ILR as it later showed I had had a left ventricular tachycardia lasting for 23 seconds.

Update to private cardiology consultation.
I am really pleased with today’s appointment. I gave him a list I had typed of all my questions and he went through them one by one. He was very happy with the Kardia ecg printouts and didn’t require an ecg there. We discussed many things Af and heart related. He also reviewed my cholesterol figures

Propafenone and taste
Anyone have any firsthand experience with Propafenone and taste? Everything tastes disgusting this morning and I hope its a side effect that fades.😬. Still not convinced it is going to even stop the Atrial Tachycardia as I am still having it, but now this.... Ugh.

Metoprolol, flecainide and prevention?
Age 59, lone paroxysmal AF for 12+ years which I have largely ignored because it wasn't that bad. It's been 4yrs since the last major episode but I suspect I am now in low-level AF a lot. I'm guessing at this because I don't have an AF app and due to the pandemic it's been nearly four years since my

AFib during Pilates
I have occasional AFib and a pacemaker. At the start of my weekly Pilates class (which I do for a sore back) I had a fast heart rate (112bpm) but went ahead with it (having informed the instructor). I took it easy but after 30 mins my fit bit said I had AFib so I just lay there until the end of the

Heart Ablation vs Just Continuing Medications
Hi! I am struggling with making a decision to follow thru with my scheduled Heart Ablation procedure, or just continue my current medications that I have been on for almost 3 years. I am currently taking Diltiazem, Eliquis, and Flecainide, and have not had an espisode since I started the Flecainide

Is it the Medication or am I Losing it?
Do you do daft things? This morning I picked up my toothbrush and instead of putting toothpaste on it picked up a tube of face wash cream and spread that on my toothbrush, as soon as the brush went in my mouth I knew what I'd done. Last week I took a carton of orange juice out of the fridge and poured

Digoxin, upset stomach
My husband has been on digoxin for three weeks and has had to come off them for 7 days to see if that’s what has been causing lots of unwanted trips to the toilet for last two weeks . They have upped his bisoprolol from 7.25 to 10mg a day to see if they can eliminate the cause for 7days . I’m worried

ICD AND DRIVING
Hi All, What's the score with driving with an ICD. I Have received conflicting advice. I believe you have to stop for 1 month after device fitting if icd fitted for precautionary reason or you had a ventricular arrhythmia without incapacity? I understand otherwise if shocked 6 month driving ban?Have

NHS Waiting Times
Hello I saw the Heart Failure Nurse January 31st she said you need a 24hr Holter so received appointment today for March 6th so just 5 weeks which I think is pretty reasonable. Just received another appointment to see H F Cardiologist on the 11th April so just 5 weeks after Holter. He is the ICD
