body heat and buprenorphine
Hi, I have been using Buprenorphine patches for 4 weeks and was wondering whether body heat releases more opioids into the system. When I’m really warm I feel spacey and drowsy. Has anyone else experienced this?

Happy 2023, bravehearts! A question on vagus nerve involvement....
I know there's massive hype out there about the vagus nerve and the treatment of any number of ills through vagus stimulation and care. Nevertheless........Was wondering if anyone's had any success with one of those wearable devices for VNS and if, at this very early stage of AFib - diagnosed as Paroxysmal

Gp intervention
I have my AFib under control after being prescribed my meds by my heart consultant. I take Flecainide, Apixaban, & Propranolol which controls my a fib. However, I have just realised that my Gp has halved my propranolol dose without consultation! ( from 80 mg to 40 mg) I am due to have a medical review

Happy New Year - Afib and Covid 2023
Hi all. I know we've all heard enough about having afib and covid. I have to give my take on it though. I've never felt so happy - so here's a positive post about the whole thing of the two together. I've avoided the bullet so far. Tested positive this morning for covid. 5 days of self-isolation with

Atrial Fibrillation.
Hi I have had atrial flutter followed by a atrial fibrillation for approx 4 years. Medication I have tried has not been helpful and I take only an anticoagulant every day. I have bouts of af, of which I am fully aware, approx 3-4 times a week, when the heart jumps between 37 and 167 for 2 to 4/5 hours

Paroxymal Atrial Fibrillation
I was diagnosed with paroxymal AF in 2017 I was given 1.25mg Bisoprolol to start with and then in time, I gravitated to 5mg. Since last month the af went out of sync, I am now on 7.5mg Bisoprolol and the increased dose has not been helping greatly. On the 14/11 I had to go to A&E as I had chest pain.

Flutter 7 Days after Typical Flutter Ablation
Wondering if anyone who has had a typical atrial flutter ablation has experienced flutter in the days/weeks following the ablation and how things eventually worked out? I had a right-side ablation for typical atrial flutter a week ago. Last night I had a 2-3 minute episode of what looks to be flutter

Monster Returns
Without provocation (no triggers), I startled awake in Afib which turned into tachycardia and has continued for 48 hours now. So after a respite of nine months from my FOURTH ablation [& coming off flecainide (due to left bundle block), but still on metoprolol ER, amlodipine, and Xarelto], I’m beginning

Shoulder and elbow pain
Good morning allI had an ICD fitted some time ago and it has bothered me ever since. Recently I've been having extreme pain to my left shoulder and left arm and elbow. Cardiologist has said that the ICD is fine. Has anyone else had similar problems

PAF to permanent AF
I was diagnosed with PAF some 10 years ago and for most of this time AF episodes have been brief and infrequent. In some cases only every few years and never lasting more than a few hours. However recently episodes have been more frequent and my latest ‘attack’ has now been going for 3 weeks. I take

New to Site after Shock Diagnosis of AF
I would like advice from those on the forum with similar experiences of the AF journey. I am newly diagnosed and feeling pretty scared. In particular I'd like to know how long it took most people to get the right meds and dosages. I was started on Bisoprolol 2.5mg but because I was still symptomatic

New to Afib - how to describe symptoms?
Hello. I'm new to Afib (diagnosed Paroxysmal AF November) and new to the forum. It's wonderful to read all the support, care and information here - what a find! I'm awaiting a 7 day monitoring in Feb. Meanwhile doing my research and still have so many questions! Main symptoms at the moment are raised

post ablation questions/reassurance
Hey all! Just had a catheter ablation for my SVT. It was AVNRT and very close to the av node. Had some palpitations post surgery but hoping that's part of recovery. Feeling anxious for sure and fatigued by the evening but hoping it feels all OK soon. It's been just a week

Solgar Hawthorn Berry Capsules ? Has anybody taken these ?
Does anybody take any of these capsules? I would really like to hear from people, as to how the capsules helped them and how they got on with them ? I recently started to take the Solgar 484mg Berry Powder . They stopped my symptoms immediately. Ie:- Palpitations, (mostly in the night), occasional fast

What is an AED? 🤔
The first and often only symptom of a sudden cardiac arrest is when someone faints. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heart stops beating suddenly and unexpectedly due to a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system. The cause of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a life-threatening abnormal
