Atrial Flutter corrected in time to prevent more serious heart problems
While I was seeing my VA Oncologist during a scheduled appointment, he and my wife noticed that I was not being as responsive to my surroundings as normal. He listened to my heart through a stethoscope and then took me into another room across the hall for an EKG, where it was discovered that I was

1 year since my Widowmaker update
I was lucky that
defibrillation
worked. I was flown to John Radcliffe for a stent to be fitted and left there with so many meds and my whole world turned upside down. All cardiac rehab was done by myself as there were and still are no rehab services in Jersey.

Amiodarone after ablation
I am four week post ablation. A week afterward, I had an afib episode that had to be treated with cardioversion even though I was taking 120 mg of TR diltiazem. A second episode began a week later and they told me to start 200 mg of amiodarone, which has big side effects on many and takes six months

Travel Insurance
Just started thinking about travelling again. Both my wife and I have heart conditions - I have VT, AF and an ICD. My wife mild stenosis, cholesterol issues and has had hypertension in the last couple of years but not now. Average quotes for a 12 month cover worldwide (inc US and Canada) were around

10 days afib now finished HR too low?
After 10 days of seeing heart rate mainly over 100 but zooming up and down, it is now on the 50s and little energy to move. Presumable the Bisoprolol working too well. Is this normal? I am not faint or dizzy

Sotalol &high blood pressure medicine
Is anyone on sotalol and high blood pressure medicine at the same time? My blood pressure is to high then to low, the GP is trying different medicine and dosages to see what works. I know it can take a bit of time to get the right meds to work. Thank you

Amiodarone as pill in pocket
I take Flecainide 150mg, Bisoprolol 1.25 and Xarelto 20mg every morning and this regime usually keeps me free from Afib episodes and able to lead an active life. However, about once a month my heartbeat becomes irregular and is often over 100, at these times my BP plummets My Cardiologist says when

Second Day Out From Cryoablation with Migraines and Afib Episodes
Had my first cryoablation the day before yesterday and on my second day at home. As others have shared here, I've had migraine with aura every day since the procedure and two today. I hear that these can continue for a couple of weeks or so. Also, a bit discouraging to see my Kardia detect Afib this

Permanent afib and ablation
Hello my husband has been in permanent afib for 5 years. He has had 2 cardioversions and one ablation. Never put him in normal sinus for even a minute. He recently had prostate surgery and because of hospitalizations he was without his digoxin for 2 doses. He has an ICD that is intended to shock

Time change
Does anyone else suffer from the time change here in the USA? I don't think that exists in the UK or other countries? For me, when the clocks are set ahead an hour in the spring (just this last Saturday night) or back in the fall, I'm a mess for about two weeks. It throws off my circadian rhythm. We

Sotalol v Bisoprolol
My GP recently decided to discontinue my beta-blocker from 2 x 2.5 bisoprolol and take 1 x 50mg sotalol instead. (This decision was following an ICD firing) I had been taking the bisoprolol for the last ten years and monitoring my BP with a cuff device, where my BP had always shown a borderline normal
