Newly diagnosed
Hi everyone I've just been diagnosed with Afib following a 24 hour Holter monitor I had done in early December last year. The results only came back last week. Actually, the cardiologist's letter says the trace showed 1. Paroxysmal Afib 2. Atrial flutter 3. 4 short runs of VT which the cardiologist

Lip biopsy
I would pose this question on the Sjogren’s forums but have not had much luck getting replies there and know many of you will have had this procedure done as part of your AI journeys, so hope you don’t mind if I pose it here. That’s a Louis Theroux documentary we need to see: AI journeys. My ENT doc

Melatonin can induce arrhythmia!

: "Sleep Medications Containing Melatonin can Potentially Induce Ventricular Arrhythmias in Structurally Normal Hearts: A 2-Patient Report" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC5642341/ Yikes! As I had reported earlier, I seemed to have miraculously ended my afib inadvertently

CRT-D or ICD
My husband had a pacemaker fitted on Wednesday this week. Came home last night with discharge papers on which it says a CRT-D was fitted yet on his GP records I see it says ICD was fitted. I’m rather concerned these statements are conflicting. Any ideas anyone please?

Kardia vs. Boots Blood pressure Monitor.
Kardia vs. Boots Blood pressure Monitor. A bit confused here - my Kardia keeps telling me I'm in 'Possible Atrial Fibrillation' recording heart rates above 100bpm whereas my Boots Blood Pressure monitor tells me my heart rate is under 100bpm. I suffer from ectopic beats but the simple a tried method

Asking for a friend -
Good afternoon everyone. I wondered if anyone could recommend an EP in the Deeside/north Wales area. I am trying to help out a friend who is too shy to come on here and ask herself. Diagnosed AFIB and I believe a flutter. But been waiting 8 months to see a cardiologist, so she doesn't really know

What specialist do I see to remove Lipomas that are affecting my breathing?
I have lipomas that are blocking my lymphatic system in my scapula, shoulder near my armpit and it is causing me a lot of discomfort, swelling pressure, and labored breathing? Any help or advice is welcome. Thank you Nets67

Update on Cryoablation 3 weeks ago.
After being extremely nervous about the ablation I finally had it done and it really wasn't that big a deal. I was totally knocked out so do not remember anything and felt fine when I woke up. The next day I noticed my neck and chest/stomach area felt just a little sore, almost like I did too many sit-ups

Nightly Afib Now
I now get afib episode almost nightly, anytime from late evening through to early morning, always, always after eating in the evenings…… rest and digest are my triggers. I’m on 50mg Flecainide split as 25mg in the morning and 25mg in the evening. I also have 50 to 100mg as a pill in pocket to restore

Pacemaker for AFib
My Drug-resistant Symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation cannot be treated with catheter ablation, so I was recommended to get a dual-chamber Medtronic Azure XT pacemaker for treatment of AFib. Does anybody have experience with this PM?

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

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

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

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

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
