AF and anaesthetics
Just looking to compare notes with anyone who has AF and has undergone routine surgery under GA. I have permanent AF which is well rate-controlled with Bisoprolol and Digoxin. I have also had an aortic valve replacement due to a congenital condition. I am scheduled to have a procedure on my tear duct

Running out of meds to try
Another new medication, another set of side effects. I've now been on Metoprolol (4 x 25mg) for six weeks and it's great for weight loss (which is a bit scary). At first it wasn't too bad and I could have a sort of life, but not anymore. Nausea, fatigue, congestion etc. and it doesn't consistently

Had a Cardioversion 9th Nov
Had the Cardioversion on the 9th and was told it had worked, before been discharged they stated stop taking Digoxin immediately , i'm now feeling a bit dizzy/weary/tired could that be due to stopping it suddenly ???

total withdrawal from antiarrhythmic drugs
what would one expect might happen if they were to abruptly stop antiarrhythmic medication...5 mg bisoprolol daily and 0.25 mg digoxin but maintain the anticoagulant medication? I would like to know if any of you have experienced this or know what the expected withdrawal symptoms might be? Thank you

Why no procedure?
I have had AF for some years. My heart is sound, working perfectly, no structural issues. Recently my AF has worsened, getting palpitations, fast heart rate but not much over 100 so cardiologist is not concerned. But the breathlessness and fatigue is crippling. Yesterday after four month wait, I got

I have as a result had my bisoprolol disease increased to 22.5mg daily and was wandering is this considered

What is an AF episode? Please describe yours and how you know.
I have PAF , its under control with digoxin, I read the extremely useful post about AF triggers and it made me wonder about what mine are. But I dont know as I am unsure if I have episodes now? (Is this possible?) Before I was diagnosed I know I had palpitations every night in bed before sleep but thought

surgery for a blood clot in the heart.
I am now waiting for surgery to remove a blood clot in my heart and the surgeon has said he will ablate at the same time. Then my blood pressure went off the scale and I think I am developing heart failure. My GP is no good to change my BP medication as I end up with terrible side effects. I am now

Update
I previously posted about my Bisoprolol being increased to help breathlessness when in fact it made it worse. Two weeks ago I went to the surgery for a blood test. Got half way across the car park and suddenly couldn't get any breath. This got worse and worse so the Drs called an ambulance and I was

Totally fatigued
Hi. Wondering if someone can help. Recent visit to cardiologist/EP saw me receiving two meds....rivaroxaban and digoxin. I was already on flecainide. Now I am utterly totally exhausted all the time. I am scheduled for an ablation 2 November. I feel I will be so weak and wilted that I won't be able

Dissapoined
After my initial hopes my successful cardioversion reverted to AF after only 1 month - back on Digoxin and this new medication Entresto which is a multipurpose regulator (look it up) makes me feel much better without many of the usual medication side effects - pharmasists eyes nearly popped out when

Bisoporol etc.
My first post. I've been aware of afib for 4 years now. I'm taking 10mg of Bisoporol , 125 micro grams of digoxin and 15 mg of rivaroxaban. In the last few weeks I've fainted once and have felt light headed and unsteady a lot. Dr. has been noncommittal. Likely blood pressure! I've requested a referral

I've just joined so hi to you all. I'm 45 and have suffered with paroxysmal AF for a year, it has put me in A&E five times this year so I opted for a cryo ablation under GA which I had on 1-9-17 at Harefield. The doc said it went well and I have around an 80% chance of success of getting rid of it.

Digoxin side effects
Hi I am in permanent AF but don't feel symptoms because of meds On very low dose of digoxin, 6.25 mcg , Diltiazem 360 mgs and xarelto daily. I was wondering if anyone on any of these especially digoxin has loose stools, more like diarrhea several times a day. I am 77 and these meds seem to keep my

Patient knows best
Rant warning! I take Digoxin, Bisoprolol, Rivaroxaban and Levothyroxine - the latter because Amiodarone messed my thyroid up. I have annual liver, kidney and thyroid tests plus Digoxin level test. Last week I had the first three tests but the phlebotomist at the surgery had no instruction to do the
