Sepsis. Update on "Drama"
Thanks to all who replied to my Drama post. Just a quick update. Still in hospital while they grow cultures to find the type of sepsis. Meanwhile they are trying broad spectrum antibiotics until they identify a specific one. More worrying from my point of view, ( but they laugh at me and call me Dr)

AFib and breast cancer
I've had persistent AFib since last December after a couple of years of undiagnosed paroxysmal AF, accompanied by high blood pressure, which was treated successfully. I have had two unsuccessful cardiofversions in January and was scheduled for an ablation in March. I'm on a full range of meds including

Hearing loss with Bisoprolol
I'm an AF sufferer, taking Rivaroxaban and 1.25mg Bisoprolol with 62.5mmg Digoxin since June 2015. In October 2015 I suffered an unexplained sudden hearing loss in my left ear and then in December 2016 got two"bangs" in my right ear combined with a severe headache which still persists. No explanation

Digoxin or Diltazium ?
Hi everyone, my cardiologist wants to add in another medication to my regime she has offered me either Digoxin or Diltazium . I already take Bisoprolol and Apixaban. I know there has been some bad press recently regarding Digoxin, just wondered if anyone else had opinion on it.

Irregular heatbeat
I have been diagnosed with persistent AF but had the ablation stopped after a clot was found in my heart. Now I am severely breathless is this normal in AF or is it to do with the clot.? I take 6.25mcg of digoxin and warfarin.

From nebivolol to bisoprolol
Hello again. I've had a lot of AF events this last week, luckily most only fleeting, but a couple a little bit worse, last week nearly losing consciousness. Today I saw the GP, who has given me bisoprolol instead of nebivolol. My HR was elevated and BP too. If it doesn't work I may need digoxin.

Diet
I have AFib and take warfarin and digoxin. I find that if I eat too much - especially for breakfast and lunch - the feeling of fullness makes my heartbeat fast and hard and this may persist for hours. It is not always easy to judge the appropriate amount of food. Is this a general finding?

Diltiazem and Digoxin - efficacy and side effects
Hi all, I'm currently on 120mg Diltiazem (60mg morning, 60mg evening) and it doesn't seem to be having much of an effect, other than seemingly increasing my breathlessness. I've been on Diltiazem for just over 1 week. In your experiences, how long has it taken for your bodies to adapt to Diltiazem and

Result of Holter monitor test - know your own body!
Just had the result of a 24 hour tape that I had on 12 October(! another story). Consultant requested it as I had been in asymptomatic AF with a HR of 80-120 during a clinic appointment. I think she did not altogether believe that my pulse oximeter usually shows a HR of c.65 bpm. The bad news was

Digoxin
After a cardioversion in September for PAF I had a revision of my meds. The only change was to up the dose of flecainide from 200mgs a day to 300mgs.and after 2weeks would have an ECG and then a small dose of Digoxin would be added. I stuck with the added dose of Flecainide for the 2 weeks even though

"Eye Popping" Atrial Fibrillation
Interesting article and finally one that explains what likely happened to me the first time I went to a hospital with AF symptoms. This is probably what happened when they gave me beta blockers at a hospital where the doctors probably don't know a lot about AF or neglected to do tests on me before giving

Interaction of Citalopram and Amiodarone
I was also prescribed Citalopram 10mg but still on Amiodarone although I told the GP I had just stopped. However, I have, after missing only a day, gone back on it again because I felt so angry with the lack of sensitivity of yet another male GP. I feel Amiodarone is for the moment protective. No wonder

Living with AF - my story
This is my first post. I am a retired depute head teacher, aged 64, who had a very busy job and usually plenty of energy. Just over 2 years ago I took a dizzy turn while out for a walk. My wife called the GP on my return and he thought that I had an arrhythmia problem, but was not too concerned. I

Confused about classification
What do you make of this? As far as I can tell, my AF comes and goes. I have short episodes most days, lasting from a few minutes up to an hour. When I have them the rate, measured on a pulse oxymeter, is under 90 bpm but I can feel the bumping. The rate is controlled by Bisoprolol and Digoxin. Normally
