POST STROKE AF
I am new to this site and find it very informative and reassuring I started getting a rapid heartbeat about 5/6 years ago. This began when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Eventually I was referred to a cardiologist. An ECG revealed nothing. I then had a 24hour/7 day monitor. This revealed paroxysmal

Annual check up - mostly good
Just returned from my cardiology appointment. Good news was that my replacement aortic valve that was put in four years ago is working fine. I am and feel fit and well. The not-so-good news is that as I got out of the taxi outside the hospital, I felt the adrenaline rush of a fight-or-flight response

Decreasing my bisoprolol
I saw the doctor yesterday and he agreed with me about lowering my morning dose of bisoprolol to 1.25 mg as I was getting very breathless when walking and gardening for any length of time. He said to stop the morning dose altogether but I'm too scared to do that . On the whole I'm feeling good in

No high heart rate
I am waiting for an ablation for an irregular heartbeat which is recorded when I monitor my Blood pressure. It shows itself in my being breathless when I try to exert my self. I cope by taking life slower and am very successful. My heart rate is at 80-100bpm but does not go over. I had a CV last

Swollen legs
Hi just an update of where I am I complained about my swollen legs at my last EP visit a few weeks back He suggested a pacemaker and AV node ablation but didn't think it would help my legs greatly as it's possible it's age related He reduced diltyzem and added digoxin I came home and started on reduced

Fainting episodes
I am Calli111 and are 72ys old and have AF which did not show itself properly until last year. My heart rate is kept under control with Digoxin and is fairly stable at 80-100bpm. The most horrible thing about this if the exhaustion and weakness I suffer several times a week and the breathlessness on

Aching heart for a week now.
Hi, I'm new to this site so I will give a small insight into my heart condition. I was born with TOF (Tetralogy of Fallots). Unfortunately I was one of the old generation to have this so I've had further complications. I had my original repair in 1982 then in 1992 I had my first pulmonary valve replacement

Heart Failure/Atrial Fibrillation medicine from Foxgloves. Once a mainstay heart drug, but superseded by safer drugs that extend life.
[i]'In the modern era, digoxin was considered, for many years, the mainstay of treatment for people with heart failure. However, this has changed over the last decade as it has been replaced as first-line treatment with other medicines which are generally safer to use and known to improve patient survival

Digoxin? Help please....
HI all.... my Ep prescribed Digoxin when I told him that I could not tolerate bisoprolol which makes me feel really tired and sleepy. He prescribed 250mcg in the first instance, but when I went to my GP.. she said I should start off on 62.5. The instructions inside the box say start off with 250mcg

Can anyone help please?
I have had AF since 1994 following pneumonia. For the last 4ish years I have been on Verapamil; Digoxin and Warfarin which seemed to keep me pretty well balanced, apart from the usual blip occasionally. I also have psoriasis, only on the palms of my hands, and recently agreed to have PUVA treatment.

Mindfulness Course and AF
A few weeks ago SRMGrandma recommended an online course being run by Futurelearn. I have just completed this and wanted to share how I think I have benefitted in relation to my PAF. I suffer from slow PAF, usually under 80 bpm but with strong heart beats, which I get mostly in the evenings. I take

Back in nsr
Had 3rd CV yesterday, after failed CV on Xmas Day. Relived to say that now back to 60 BPM. They got me back in on the last of of 5 attempts so just squeezed in. Feel great so will have to really look after myself. 1st CV lasted 2 years, so hopefully fingers crossed for the next 2 years. Stopped Digoxin

AF and breathlessness
Hi I am Sylvia and have been diagnosed with persistent AF, I am 71 years old. This leaves me breathless on exertion . I recently saw a EP from Birmingham who wants to have a cardioversion done before considering an ablation. He ask for me to be put on Amiodarone with a view to having this done. I

A bad batch of medication?
I have PAF which is mostly well controlled by medication - Bisoprolol and Digoxin. Occasionally I get episodes of strong and irregular but not fast heartbeats which can be felt anywhere on the body. Some times this is accompanied by a feeling that my blood pressure is high. For a few weeks I was
