AF and Heart Parameters
I experienced AF first in 2012. It was recorded in Holter Monitoring. On medication since then. Holter Monitoring done once in a year. No episode recorded. Actually my episodes occur suddenly last for few seconds. ECG sometimes show tachycardia, Echocardiography is normal, TMT recent time is negative

Hello, my husband had a heart attack 22 years ago he recovered really well and was walking with a friend doing 5 miles or so every week. 3 years ago he had a stroke. Again he recovered well but could not walk more than a couple of miles. His ejection fraction was about 25%. Towards the end of 2022

Can too many ablations cause “stiff heart”?
i’m at 69-year-old male that has had four oblations in the last eight years for a fib. I am now in a flutter persistent 100% of the time. I’m considering another ablation in November by one of the top doctors in the country. I Heard that sometimes too many oblations can cause a stiff heart which I am

2 months post ablation and frequent extrasystoles.
So I'm 2 months from my 1st ablation and supposed to now stop taking Flecainide but I seem to be permanently having extrasystoles, having hardly had them at all previously. They are fairly asymptomatic with me only sometimes feeling palpitations. I've also had a couple of Afib episodes but it's the sudden

Sinus rhythm with supraventricular ectopy.
Last December my Kardia mobile saw AFIB when I was sitting on a plane coming back from Egypt. It is not the first time, in fact there have been dozens of times when I have seen it. I went to the GP and he sent the kardia output to the cardiologist. Several cardiologists disagreed about the kardia

Cardiac Ablation Looks Successful!
I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal Afib in April of 2022. During my annual physical my PCP heard what he thought was a murmur, and called in a consult. After testing the afib was confirmed. I never noticed it, but started monitoring with a smartwatch and began to feel the episodes as they progressed. This

Lightheaded after AF episode
I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation in October 2021 and prescribed Edoxaban. Fortunately I have only been experiencing AF edisodes about once a month but when I do I find it very frightening. It’s probably the effect of passing so much urine but I find after the episode my blood pressure drops very

Finally got some information on the treatment for FND
Here are some steps on finding treatment without the run around. Step one find out what treatment you need done ex. fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Second call your insurance and make sure it's covered. Also look up the medical ICD or CPT codes prior to calling the insurance, because they

NSAIDS and Afib.
After a concussion last January, I started taking Naproxen regularly. AND I started having break-thru Afib episodes. My docs KNEw I was taking this but said nothing. My cardiologist who knows I have Afib said nothing. So, I read about it and yep, people with Afib are cautioned NOT to take NSAIDS!!!

How effective is cardioversion for Persistent AFib?
Thank you to all those who have recently posted replies to my recent question ‘Has anyone had problems with Flecainide not working?’. Your answers have clarified the some of the options to discuss with my cardiologist, hopefully in a couple of days. I propose to gradually stop taking Flecainide but

Experiences with Metoprolol
I was dx with Parosyximal Afib in 2019 and, after the customary course of starting with a beta blocker - Metoprolol, which didn't work - and then adding flecainide which did help but not prevent breakthrough episodes, had an ablation on March 16 of 2022. After the ablation, I weaned off of the metoprolol
