AFIB caused heart failure?
Hello, my 76 year old mom was hospitalized a month ago after feeling very sick and ended up having to be intubated in the ICU for a day because her lungs were full of fluid - she had heart failure with an EF of 15%. She has had afib for over 17 years and had an ablation done when she was first diagnosed

Echo results.
Hi I have afib, not usually too often but have had a few episodes this year. On all the usual meds. Have just been given an inhaler as hyperinflated patches were found on my lungs in a chest x ray. Anyway had the results of my latest echocardiogram yesterday and was wondering if you good people can interpret

83 years old - Firmagon or Zoladex ? Conflicted which to choose.
Dad is 83 and has to start on ADT from Tomorrow. He has no known cardiac issues but we have a strong family history of cardiac disease. His dad and brother both passed from it He also gets ectopic beats/ pvc’s since many years but all cardiologists say those are benign and not to bother. His blood

Afib and Bone density supplements
I have had afib for about four years now. My latest bone density test shows osteoporosis. My primary wants me to take Prolia or some other prescription medication. My research indicates "causes arrhyhtmia" as the number one side effect. Clearly a problem for me. I have looked at several bone density

No more appointments
I had an appointment yesterday to discuss results of recent echo. Was seen by a specialist (can’t remember official title) who is a level below cardiologist - apparently does all the ground work and liases with cardiologist. He advised that as well as afib, I now have 2 slightly leaky valves and also

Mycophenolate Mofetil Anyone?
I saw a different Rheumatologist in the clinic recently. He appeared satisfied that I was on long term 5.5 Prednisolone (I had previously run into trouble at 5mg) but his follow up letter indicated a plan to offer me Mycophenolate Mofetil as a DMARD to get me off steroids. Has anyone had experience of

Bisoprolol
I only had just over a week on bisoprolol 5mgs after coming out the hospital after fast afib episode. I felt breathless and nauseated. I have no follow up at the hospital, they just said gp to review so last week the gp did agree reluctantly to go down to 3.75mgs which I've taken for nearly a week but

AF and amiodaran treatment, ablations, cardioversions
This is an update to my original post in this thread and I thought I would start a new thread. I'm 55 years old and I've had atrial fibrillation for a year. I've undergone two cardioversions, and the last one lasted for about 10 weeks. For the past 10 weeks, I've been in atrial fibrillation all the time

I NEVER LEARN
Hello everyone, It's 5:44 AM in California and the paramedics have just left. I called them as while lying in bed I felt nauseous, and stomach felt odd so I put my oximeter on my finger and watched it go down to 29 and then back up to baseline HR for me of 50 and it really freaked me out but I tried

Continuous afib
I have had afib for 17 years and have been taking Flecainide (initially 25mg and after few years 100mg) and Metroprolol 25mg. I had afib episodes every 6 months for one or two days and after that it went away. Each episode lasted for three or four hours. For the past two years I have been taking

update on switching to digoxin from lopressor
Stopped digoxin this am and starting back on lopressor. bad heartburn and nausea just kept getting worse. Lots of hydrating and will explore ablation. Really felt sick on digoxin. Although don't feel generally great this was really not a good experience.

Puzzling Tachycardia
Hi Everybody, I hope someone in this lovely community will be able to help me understand my puzzling tachycardia. Just to give you some background. I have been diagnosed with paroxysmal AFIB little over five years ago. I have been on Amiodarone (100 mg) for the past four years. Amiodarone helps, but

Slowly Reducing Antiarrhythmic medications
I had an abalation just on 3 months ago. After the first month my EP advised I can start reducing my medication which is Flecainide and Dilitiazem and he did not need to see me anymore. I am now taking 50mg Flec. and was initially taking 100mg. By July I should be medication free. I have had some

calming a fibs
So, I am having a fibs right now 9:30 at night in the USA. Heart rate went up to 137, then down to 80s 90's jumping all around. Could feel it racing and I was short of breath. My question is this: WHAT CAN I DO TO CALM ALL THIS DOWN? HOW DO I STOP THE ANXIETY WHILE IT IS HAPPENING? I just drank

Heartburn from Digoxin
On Digoxin 2 plus weeks. Blood level fine. Am having constant heartburn/nausea. My Dr said not a usual side effect. Tough it out? or go back on Lopressor which had its own side effects. Many say it will get better. Permanent persistent afib.

Paroxysmal atrial fribulation
Just another question all whilst I was on verapamil and digoxin my heart rate just raced away for no reason not afib but just a rapid rate of bpm whilst moving or trying to work doesn't happen with bisoprolol so much
