Nausea, headache, dizziness - all too familiar in a way. It hasnt gone off after 2 days. Would you increase the pred temporarily (fearing this would be

Using a Heart Rate monitor chest strap after Ablation
Has anyone used a HRM chest strap after a pvi ablation and had strange readings even though a manual pulse check is regular and in control? I was wondering if the strap picks up the electrical activity still going on in the Pulmonary Veins but cant get past the ablation sites into the heart to cause

Possible AF
Last Sunday I had a dreadful accident. I either slipped or tripped in the kitchen. I had a kettle full of boiling water in my hand at the time. The result was that I badly scalded my leg and was taken by ambulance to my nearest A&E hospital which is 20 plus miles away. Whilst enroute the paramedics did

Solatol
Hi all. After a long uncomfortable time with AFib I saw a private cardiologist who prescribed Solatol 2x80 per day. It’s early days as I’ve just begun but a couple oh hours after taking first one I’m in AFib with HR 102. I stopped Bisoprolol and digoxin yesterday. Does it take a while for Solatol to

Comments about Metropolol
I don’t read much mentioned about Metropolol. I have been prescribed Eliquis and Metropolol for AFib and wonder why the majority of afibers are not taking this combination. I would love to read comments about especially the drug Metropolol! And why do I read the mention of some wanting to get off Eliquis

To Kardia or not to Kardia............
Hello everyone, although I have replied to other people’s posts, this is the first question I’ve asked for myself. Knowing that many of you use Kardia’s, I’m hoping you can help me to make up my mind over a possible upgrade to the 6L version. First a bit of background; I was diagnosed with AF in late

When is bradycardia afib?
I think I am confused about what is wrong with me. I thought I noticed something wrong with my heartbeat in that it didn't seem to be following the normal procedure of going faster when I exercised then slowing down when I rested. My GP checkef it with a simple EKG and immediately saw something wrong

K2 with D3
Can anyone advise me re K2 please? I take between 3000-6000 iu D3 per day and have always been under the impression that it was imperative to take K2 with it. However, I have Atrial Fibrillation (I'm not on any prescription meds, only supplements which are said to thin the blood) so I'm a little wary
