AFIB and Anxiety relief
I was diagnosed with Afib 3 years ago literally to the day and have found over the last few months that episodes have become more regular but sinus rhythmm is restored by using bisoprolol 2. The time it takes to restore NSR is directly correlated to my anxiety levels. . I used to take citalopram to

An update on this pain-in-the-bum condition
So 2018 Flutter, ablation fixed it but triggered fibrillation. Cardioversion fixed that for about 10 months then Flecainide from September 2019 until cryo-ablation in October 2021. Stopped the post abalation meds ten days ago. Sinus fine and ecg fine last week when my cardiologist saw me. I have developed

When should I go to A&E
I have been in PAF on and off for some years but the last 12 months I go a lot longer in AF and do not revert back without a Cardioversion. I have had a third ablation 5 weeks ago but for the last 3 1/2 weeks I have been back in AF. I am on list for cardioversion again and need to talk through my options

ICD implant and Cardiac CT scan
Could anyone tell me how urgent would an ICD implant procedure be and a Cardiac CT scan. I have now waited 4 months since seeing Consultant for these and I have waited 16 months for Angiogram.

I need advice about AFIB and travels
Hello everyone, It's been a while since my last post. I'm planning to go on holiday to Costa Rica next March but I'm not very confident because the trouble with fibrillation is that you don't know when it's coming on. My attacks are usually 8 months apart and next March it will be 8 months since my

Is this AFib?
Is this AFib? Background: 67 year old white male never smoked, never used drugs, reasonable weight, active and exercise routinely. Only medication is lowest dose of Rosuvastatin (Crestor) The only bad thing is I am a heavy caffeine drinker. (Coke) I've read the symptoms, and I do not have shortness

Is there a relationship between AFib and high blood pressure
When in AFib can it raise your blood pressure or can high blood pressure trigger AFib. In April/May last year I was I told I had possible AFib after starting palpitations which didn't abate and subsequent 24hr ECG and Echocardigram . Also had a raise BNP. I was perscribed bisoprol by my GP but it

NSVT or atrial flutter?
Do PVCs feel different to PACs? I'm getting short runs of ectopic beats (often 4 in a row), which I think might be NSVT. I'm used to experiencing AF, which feels light and chaotic compared to sinus rhythm, but these recent short runs feel more forceful than AF, and also feel regular - could they be ventricular

AFIB BP STRUGGLERS
All, I have never taken this drug but I have taken Amiodorone before. And you're right. It is awful so my dr took me off it. I am taking Propafenone now. I was to take 3 150mg per day. I did and felt horrible. So I started reducing it myself and I have found that 1 pill split into 2 does works

AF query
Hi, I was diagnosed with AF in July last year and put onto Apixaban and Bisoprolol. I then really struggled walking anywhere with breathlessness and although I was Asymptomatic before being diagnosed I wasn’t breathless at all ( AF found during routine pulse test by Nurse). I was advised to carry on

Afib, alcohol and caffeine!
I’m interested in peoples Afib triggers, specifically how you are with alcohol and caffeine? I can honestly say that two to three cups of coffee and a couple of pints of beer a day don’t appear to cause me any issues? What does, however is late eating, over eating and any kind of indigestion! Without

Had my heart stress test at the Bristol Heart Institute this week to discover why I've started having episodes of breathlessness/pressure on exertion. The plan was to use an exercise bike to increase my heart rate ti 128 bpm then use ultrasound echocardiogram and ECG to look at my heart, Before I'd even
