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

My dad recently had a stroke and was in atrial fibrillation since then he's been quite breathless on small amounts of exercise that's worrying Especially the fact he would never before tell us if he was unwell and trys to dodge going to the doctors

Discomfort in chest area
I'm coping with PAF but does anyone feel like I do: i feel a 'discomfort' in my chest area, its hard to describe, it feels like it's 'trying' to flutter but doesn't start? Just a bit uncomfortable - i kinda feel it in my throat? I know what palpitations are like - they've been suppressed for 6 weeks

I consider myself lucky
I guess I am one of the lucky one's. I had all three shots, didn't feel good for a couple of days, but I have had worse. The new flu shot for senior bothered me more the Cd shots. 2 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with A Fib. But on meds, Eliquis, heart meds. But I had a 100 pounds of fluid around me

When Do Your AFIB triggers actually cause reaction?
First, I want to thank everyone here for all the wonderful information you have provided over time, it has helped me immensely in so many ways. There seems to be a lot of discussion about things that trigger AFIB, like chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, etc. My question is: After you consume the "offender

Digoxin
I was over medicated for years. Toprol xl, digoxin, and other medications for Afib, and flutters. I am 73 years old and they have reduced my digoxin to .125mg of digoxin…. From three times that amount. Since they have learned over the years that over medicating with digoxin above .125mg is a problem
