Learning all the time
Hi All, As a relative newbie I have found this site so helpful in learning about AF but I do think it would be great to have a glossary of abbreviations for new members. SVT, PIP, CHAD etc were all alien to me although I now know what they stand for from posts where members clarify the meanings. Im

Rough Rough night
Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement for last night. I had a PVI for atrial arrhythmias 6 years ago and last night was one of the worse nights I’ve had since ablation. Things were going very well for last 3 years. Last night for some reason I developed so many PACs I think I was in a fib

Update on seeing Electrophysiologist - and fed up.
Hi All, I’m a bit fed up. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the fact I’d arranged a private appointment with an EP at my local hospital this week, as I was fed up with waiting for a follow up with my cardiologist which should have happened in January. I’m paroxysmal AF, formally diagnosed last September

Long term Bisoprolol side effects!
Dear all - I've been on a low dose of Bisoprolol (2.5mg) since November 2020 and have coped okay - no real complaints. I did notice tiredness towards the end of the day (16.00 onwards) but then at 64 I thought that might be just getting older. I'm struggling with my cycling as I simply do not have the

Good morning uncomfortable feeling after crt-d implanted 5 weeks ago
Sorry guys and gals I'm back with another yes another daily worry, so after my crt-d was implanted I noticed maybe a couple of weeks ago that under my left arm pit and sort of on the edge of armpit and left pec it feels uncomfortable, has anyone else had anything like the same? I wasn't sure if it's

1 month out from RF ablation for asymptomatic afib
Hi. I was diagnosed with afib in late 2019 at age 66 and put on an anti-coag and sotalol. I was in and out of afib quite regularly but rarely symptomatic. Three cardioversions failed to restore normal sinus rhythm (NSR) for any real length of time, so ablations were suggested (I live in the US.) Since

Almost a year of NSR
Well, I nearly made a year.. Last night through, went back into AFib. Tried the things I’ve read to hopefully get out of it, but no good. Resting pulse of 159. Ambulance and cardioversion, which I’m so pleased to say worked and I’m home now. After my last electronic cardioversion I only stayed in NSR

Crt-d lead
I'm going into my 5th week post crt-d lead implant would the lead have settled in now, as I am still very anxious about movements and stuff as the uncomfortable feeling from the incision has started to ease I've found myself doing more stuff not over doing it but doing more stuff than I've been able

Anyone reduced their dose of amiodarone?
I’m wondering what experiences any of you have had coming down from 200mg to 100mg amiodarone? I’m on 200mg at the moment and it controls my PAF and ectopics completely but it has also lowered my heart rate so much that I have postural hypotension type symptoms when I get up from sitting, go upstairs

AF & The perfect 🤩 storm ⛈
Well AFibbers I am sad (but still very grateful) that after 11 months AFIb free I had an episode last Monday. BUT….. I know why! I created the perfect AFIb storm. I stopped taking bisoprolol as a trial (agreed with cardio), within a few days I started a nutritional reset (cutting all the sugars I’d

Flecainide and Dilitiazem. What are your side effects?
Two weeks ago started taking 50mg of Flecainide twice a day plus 120mg of time release Dilitiazem once a day. First week a little rocky with several afib episodes and runs of ectopics (PACs and PVCs) that were terminated within 1-2 hours with an additional 50mg of Flecainide. Last week no episodes and

In a nightmare
Hi all, following my august ablation for PAF things had been going well. Then last Thursday I had severe Norovirus which ended with a hospital admission as I’d lost all recognition of family and surroundings and was treated for swelling in my brain. Woken by the nurse at 2am for obs and was back just

Ablation under general anesthesia with obstructive sleep apnea
Hi everybody, If someone has sleep apnea, is it it safe to undergo an RF Afib ablation under general anesthesia? Especially if the patient doesn’t have or use CPAP?

Is AF a disability
Hi everyone hope you are ticking along nicely. The question i have is why is afib not classed as a disability?? I am desperate to go back to work but I'm struggling with the tachycardia my pulse is between 90 to 140 bmp it makes me so breathless and dizzy can't seem to function with every day life never

Stroke on Apixaban
I was taking Apixaban for paroxysmal AF after a catheter ablation several years ago, which mostly cured me of the debilitating bouts of AF which I was suffering. The paroxysmal AF was hard for me to notice but detected by a monitor, and 'self terminating', so I declined Flecainide as I didn't fancy

ADT CHOICES
I'm on Firmagon once a month and it's working fine. The only problem is that I feel like garbage for 2 or 3 days after the shot. Is there any difference in effectiveness if I had a 6 month shot of Lupron or Eligard?

Raised heart rate on amiodorome
I am a 72 year old woman who was very fit and healthy until two months ago I was diagnosed with paroxsymal AF. I had an ablation in January that left me with atrial flutter. Now, a few weeks later, I am on Amiodorome - really strong - 600mh a day and my heart rate us still of over 90. Any experience

BACK INTO SINUS RHYTHM WITH A METRONOME
I have had paroximal atrial fibrillation for seven years, probably once a month, with HR around 150 for many hours. Over the years I have experimented all possible methods for stopping AF, including electrical tragus stimulation, slow breathing, alternate nostril breathing, swallowing big mouthfuls
