Persistent Afib
Thank you all for your encouraging replies to my post yesterday. Yes unless I have something wrong with me or I over exercise my heart rate does not go above 100. The only worrying concern is the Kardia readings which consistently show a variation of between 2.5 and 6.5 squares in one reading. If you

Gca Flare after 5 years ?
I was diagnosed GCA by biopsy in December 2017 and had all the classic symptoms, one was migraine aura which stopped once on 60mg. I've been tapering very slowly and got to 1 mg in September this year. Two weeks ago I had a migraine aura, my first since 2018. The only other symptom is some scalp tenderness

AV Node ablation.
I have a meeting with my EP in 3 weeks time to discuss my ongoing afib issues. I'm assuming he will be advising me to go ahead with an AV node ablation to help control my afib, which l now get every other day lasting on average for 4/5 hours. Although there are lots of positive stories here regarding

Age, cycling (ebikes) and afib.
Interesting article in one of my subscriptions...about how ebikes have made a difference in the lives of cyclists (like me) who are past their *best before date* on 2 wheels lol. One of the guys has afib, so thought I'd share; "The benefits of riding an electric bike also rang true in our chat with

Erratic Heart Rate - Afib or Tachycardia 24 hour heart monitor.

Fitbit for a fib?
hi all. My husband has had paroxysmal a fib for last 4 years and takes digoxin. We use the Kardia mobile with great success. I’m wondering whether to get him either a Fitbit or more expensive Apple Watch so he can keep an eye on how high his rate goes while out on his daily walk. I don’t think it’s

Amiodarone - yes or no ?
Hi all. Just interested to hear from any forum members who have used / or are using Amiodarone to treat their afib. To help with afib it seems to be a last resort medication - I understand that it can and does cause bad side effects. However if you can tolerate these it appears to be the most effective

Look after yourself!
Hi everyone, as you will know from previous posts, my hubby has decompensated liver and is still drinking, with an "If I die, I die" attitude. So today saw me at the GP for myself (felt a bit self indulgent tbh) and I've got low haemoglobin, low vitamin levels, possibly due to Covid a couple of months

Exercise and Afib
I'm sure you all already know this but I discovered this recently. My cardiologist sent me to cardiac rehab because I have afib and some wall weakening in the heart. The idea is to strengthen the heart muscle to be able to handle any arrhythmia that may come my way. I always thought that talk

Taking part in Watchman trial to establish if it’s safe to come off anti-coagulants like Apixaban
Good afternoon everyone. On Thursday I am scheduled to go for a procedure to have a Watchman device fitted inside my heart at John Radcliffe Hospital here in Oxford under supervision of the Cardiac Research Team. I volunteered to do this as part of a world wide trial covering 3000 patients to assess

Grateful for any Feedback on PVI Ablation Please
Hi, My background is:- Developed Atrial Fibrillation in November 2021 (persistent from day 1). Had a cardioversion in February 2022, which lasted about 7 weeks and then back into persistent AF, looking back I carried on as normal after the cardioversion and perhaps I should have been more careful.

Have any Vagal Afibbers tried exercising before bed?
As I have Vagal Afib I can switch it off early on in an episode with a Valsalva maneuver. A few nights ago I could not stop the Afib as it did not wake me immediately, so I could not stop it the usual way. I had read that some people exercise during Afib, so rather than pop another Flecainide pill I
