Flecainide: Worse AFib attack ever after being prescribed at a+e admission
Hi all hope everyone is well. Wish I was. Two days ago I was diagnosed with angina in ACU and prescribed yet more medication. The angina I now have is distinct from AFib type of angina pain which I am familiar with ie: I only experience it when I'm in afib. So A fib free, in NSR i have angina pain quite

Feeling anxious and panicky
I was diagnosed with heart failure 18 months ago and had an ICD inserted under my skin this April. This came on top of numerous other chronic health issues. I am 80 years old and have had to learn to accept all these difficulties. But last week I started with a bug (not covid) which has given me an horrendous

HCM - Symptoms and Treatment
Hello all Only just joined because I want to reach out to someone. Feel like I’m hitting a brick wall. So disclaimers, I have been overweight for most of my life and lifestyle could have been better. However, I was active, never ill and tried to lose some weight often. I have had a diagnosis of HCM

whilst the country celebrates the coronation on Saturday I’ll be raising a glass to one year since my mini maze and one year afib free
Where have the last 12 months gone? I honestly can’t believe it’s a year since I had my mini maze and a year since I last had afib! I would do it again without hesitation. After 5 plus years of persistent afib and having been told by the EP who did my catheter ablation that I wasn’t capable of NSR

Ablation to back wall of the heart
I just had a 3rd ablation at the Cleveland Clinic. My first two were PVI ablations, the reason for two was because my first was unfinished due to cardiac tamponade. I have had persistent afib since last Sept. 11th. On this current surgery they found problems on the back wall of the heart and also the

Low platelets
Hi everybody, I have posted this on the AF forum as it sits there because I am on an anticoagulant for afib. However, because I suffer from PMR and I am on prednisolone I thought maybe others may have my recent problem.My blood results have come back with ESR at 17 which I am told is within the normal

Two years post RF PVI
Just a quick up date.Two years from RF PVI. No Afib. No beta blockers. BP very good. PM has 8 years of life left, most energy used downloading daily data dump. Upon reflection should have gone ahead with ablation with first signs. Vivid dreams from beta blockers stopped. Took me longer than I thought

Pluvicto and babies in house
Has anyone had experience with pluvicto or other radiopharmaceuticals, with an infant in the household? My dad lives with us (including 3 month old) and is metastatic castration resistant. He has done 7 doses of docetaxel but last month his PSA increased again so I'm wondering and trying to prepare for

Just diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation
Hi I was diagnosed with A-fib a couple of weeks ago via an ECG trace on my Kardia mobile. I am now on Apixaban 5mgs twice daily and Atenelol and have been advised that an ablation is the best way forward. I only have had 3 episodes to my knowledge and so it paroxysmal but makes me feel pretty unwell

Bradycardia
New kid on the bloc!! Recently in hospital with AF first time!(such a surprise!) Then UnstableTachy/Brady Syndrome diagnosed . Prescribed Apixiban 5mg twice daily and Bisoprolol 1.25 daily. An angiogram showed no heart damage slightly enlarged left atrium. A mention of a Pacemaker was mumbled! After

short afib runs 3 months post ablation
Hello, I had my ablation Jan 27th, unfortunately I am still having short runs of afib at times and experienced significant migraine headaches postop so I’m not in a hurry to repeat the procedure. Has anyone had success after 3 months? My EP doesn’t think it will settle much further. Unfortunately I

Melatonin with AF medication
I’m on Flecainide , bisoprolol for AF plus Apixaban,. Melatonin is supposed to aid sleep , does anyone on the group have experience using melatonin with the above , the pharmacist I’ve spoken to said there shouldn’t be a problem but didn’t sound too reassuring.

Week 3 Post Ablation
21 days has passed since my Cryoablation. I have had 10 separate episodes of AFIB. Some just a couple of hours, sometimes 2 in one day. I understand that I am in blanking period. my question to the group, when an episode starts, what action do you take? Do you rest, do continue on with daily activities

MRI scan with compatible pacemaker, CRT-D or ICD
I have a CRT-D device implanted which is MRI compatible. It looks like I might now need an MRI scan of my head - most likely under private health care. Does anyone know what extra arrangements, if any, are needed to have an MRI scan with an implanted heart device (one that is compatible with MRI scanners

Inhaler causing A Fib
Hi everyone, On Tuesday I had an episode of a fib. It lasted 16 hours. I take metoprolol Succinate Er 25mg. The next day after using one of my inhalers Incruse Ellipta I felt kinda off. My blood pressure was quite high 148/99. The next day the same thing happened. Today I woke up and my BP was still
