Best Sleeping Position for AFib
Subject may have been discussed but could not find recent posts. Have been having problems sleeping and noticed heart rate is higher than it should be (85). Search results. Right lateral position is proven to be most effective. Left lateral seems to trigger AFib. Problem is if you are like

Anticoagulants and PPIs
Hi everyone, I have just had an annual medication review over the phone with a pharmacist. I am taking Apixaban 5mg twice daily together with low dose Flecainide (50mg x 2 daily) and Bisoprolol (2.5mg daily). The latter to offset any possible side effects from Flecainide!! I have been in sinus rhythm

Post cardioversion
It's been 3 days since my cardioversion and I was hoping to be feeling far better than I do, I'm getting palpitations and still very tired, fatigued and feeling a bit shaky, my energy levels are so low. My Kardia Mobile ECG is showing a regular extra beat .... my wife says I'm expecting too much too

Is anyone taking Erleada?
Hello, I received my first Eligard injection on June 6th. PSA dropped from 9 to 0.7 in 3 months. For my second ADT treatment my doctor wants to switch to Trelstar. From what I read it sounds like Eligard and Trelstar are very similar, same side effects. Doctor also wants to add Erleada. After checking

Angry following angiogram letter from a consultant.
I received the following letter from a consultant-addressed to my GP- following my aborted angiogram of last week. It’s fair to say that since I read it this morning I have had steam coming out of my ears, not to mention chest pains. I would value any feedback and advice how to proceed: “Mr [..] has

Coping with working full time with PMR
I've read many helpful suggestions on this site on how to manage a heavy workload and PMR. I have a demanding job with a lot of responsibility. I have sought to balance my symptoms (heavy, heavy harness, brain fog, fatigue and reduced confidence) with work for the past few months, with varying degrees

My mum is going to have ICD box - please share experiences :)
Hi, Until a few weeks ago, my mum didn’t (knowingly) have any heart problems but her resting heart rate went to 174 on her Fitbit and wouldn’t go down so she went to hospital. They had to give her a shock to get her heart rate down. They did an angiogram and realised she had 3 clogged arteries

Hi, I survived an SCA ans am looking to better support my heart health
Hey guys, At the end of the day, I’m a middle aged lady working to improve my heart health before more time and heart function slips away, making the climb back up that much steeper. What’s given my heart health journey more dimension is that I was born with a ventricular septal defect that closed

Had telephone consultation this morning.
I had my three monthly telephone consultation this morning. As usual I worried myself silly yesterday and until the call came this morning. More so because of the ongoing worry about the possible AFIB and the medication I had been taking for the last six weeks. So the call came, my wonderful consultant

Is there an anti arrhythmia drug which doesn't have a side effect of nausea?
Me again. I've stopped taking amiodorane for over 72 hours and most of the nausea has gone. However, the afib symptoms have come back. I am dizzy, breathless and can feel a heart flutter some of the time. I had a phone call this morning with a date for a cardioversion but when I said that I

an Caffeine Trigger Near Syncope?
I quit drinking caffeinated coffee several months ago. My cardiologist told me I should avoid stimulants, as they can be AFib triggers, However, I have since seen studies concluding one or two cups of coffee per day should not trigger AFIb. So, as I was thinking about going back to my morning two-shot
