Feeling Disappointed
Following an ablation for SVT in January 2021 I have been problem free for two and a half years (at least heart wise). I began to feel breathless about three weeks ago and now am experiencing fairly regular runs of af. I have had an ablation for af in the past as well as surgery to repair leaky valves

Amiodarone + AFIB
Hi. Just wondered if anyone had experienced any adverse effects of taking Amiodarone? I’ve just completed week 1 of the “loading dose” (200mg x 3 times a day). Whilst it [i]has[/i] reduced the AFib heart rate dramatically (from approx 160 to approx 110), it hasn’t stopped the AFib, which has become

During Af
Today I think I had an Af episode. I have paroxysmal Af, and have had 3 severe attacks in the past 12 or so years, each requiring evacuation to hospital for 24/48 hours, once by helicopter, oooh! I don't tend to usually get significant episode outside the big ones. My last was horrible, about 2am I

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

Hypotension
After several years with reduced afib after a relatively successful ablation, I have now developed some sort of hypotension which sees me landing flat on the floor on numerous occasions. Fortunately I slump quite gracefully so no further damage yet! I thought I had it under control........ getting up

conversion pause
Has anyone experienced a conversion pause when coming out of AF- like a brief second or two of syncope with a visual disturbance & a strange quite frightening feeling This has started after having to come of Flecainide as it was causing other arrhythmias.

AF Blood Pressure
Hi good morning just replying to blood pressure 173/ 93 ! Depending on age in my humble Non Medical view I would not worry long term in a Rise to this Level. Additionally in my Experience ( 83 years now) You should try taking Blood Pressure 3 Times a Day Morning is normally higher and you would

when to take tablets
I have had my thyroid problem since 1992 and when I was just taking my thyroxine , when to take it was not a problem. Now I have atrial fibrillation and have to take 1/2 tablet of Apocard with a blood thinner 12 hours apart with food. I also have to take a beta blocker with food but not with the Apocard

Return to AFIB after 4 years
Had 2 cardioversions and 2 ablations four years ago. The second ablation had everything working great for the last four years. Have to take a lot of HBP medication, but all was manageable until about a month ago when AFIB reared its ugly head again. Got scheduled for and had another cardioversion.

ECG help
Hi all, First time posting in this forum I have posted in the main BHF a few times. I'm currently waiting for an AF Ablation and recently had my preoperative assessment for it. The nurse kindly gave me a copy of my ECG and naturally I took to googling to try understand it ofcourse getting nowhere 😂

Clinical Physiologist
Please can any of you explain to me what exactly is a Clinical Physiologist ? I usually see my cardiologist once a year, along with a routine echocardiogram and ecg. This year, I saw my GP because I have been getting a lot of palpitations which Kardia diagnose as PVCs and SVEs ) He said he would contact

A Good Day's Night
AFib status: Permanent for at least the past two years. 75 years old. Medication: Apixaban, 5mg Bisoprolol, Amlodipine, 5mg Ramipril, Atorvastatin. No offers by my doctor of a cardioversion or an ablation. I have been fairly stable on those meds since it was confirmed that I had Permanent Afib.

Red blood cells
My red blood cell count increased from 133 in September 2022 to 151 in March 2023. The haemocrit count went up from 4.43 to 4.96, both outside the normal range. These were both marked with an asterisk on my blood test sheet but that was all. I went into persistent afib in August 2022. I am worried

Do I need to be concerned? UPDATE!
Hi fellow AFibbers. Further to my post below; Firstly, may I take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who have kindly taken the time to reply with support and advice. Too many to thank you or reply to you all individually! So, as wisely advised by many of you, I took myself to A

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

Feels worse than Ectopics
7 years of this feeling, think of rolling you tongue irregulrly heart feeling, my heart at times does that but, then feels like an engine trying to start Bing Bing bang and hate them so much. Just be relaxed talking and it happens, lay down feels like not enough blood is being pumped and heart struggles
