diagnosed in Feb. with atrial flutter at ED
I have had a Holter, stress test, and
echocardiogram
. The results over a 48 hour period were many PCV’s, atrial flutters and some afib, To shorten my story I am on 5 mg apixabam, split in two, and came off metoprolol because of heart rate going too low.

Worried!
Advice was to have thyroid blood tests and an
echocardiogram
. I can’t have an echo until I’ve had a PRO BHP blood test. My thyroid tests were normal. I’ve been having terrible palpitations since stopping my antidepressant 5 weeks ago and wonder if this fact could’ve impacted my ambulatory ecg.

Hmmmm...
So while I was waiting for my
echocardiogram
I developed severe pain in my chest and back, which when I told the technician about, resulted in me being rushed down to triage to be checked out.

diagnosed with atrial fibrillation recently.
He mentioned something about an operation (no details) then arranged an
echocardiogram
. Went for this, was told no my heart appeared fine. Made an appointment to speak to the doc again to discuss my echo.

Valve knocking?
I've had chest xrays, ecg,
echocardiogram
and all is normal however Im still getting this. On my last visit to gp my doctor told me it was "probably just my artificial valve knocking on my breastbone" and it was nothing to worry about.

Update following Cardiology appointment
My Cardiologist advised that my
Echocardiogram
showed y heart wea in a good shape. However the results of wearing a HR monitor for one week were more disturbing. He advised that my HR was more often than not up around 200bpm.

maybe I shouldn’t ask questions
I’ve just been for my annual
echocardiogram
this morning. I had a nuclear perfusion scan last month to measure my ejection fraction and was told that it had increased from 44 to 53%. The cardiologist was very happy with the result.

Still in AF but discharged from cardiologist
Last week I saw the cardiologist after an exercise tolerance test when I was NSR and then an echo cardiogram later when I was in AF.I had a private CV in February but by end of May AF was back. He said I had an enlarged left atrium chamber but said there was nothing more he could do for me. He seemed

Finally got a reply from surgery
After chasing my surgery as not heard from my local hospital as to when I will have an
echocardiogram
which my doctor requested beginning of November last year as a blood test came back saying I might have possible heart failure.

Seen Cardiologist today - confused!
Hi apologies in advance for long post. I've just been to see the cardiologist. He's also a electrophysiologist. He gave me a lot to think about: Bottom line: I'm mid-50s, type ii diabetic with a 2nd AF episode started 22nd July. Apparently now classed as having 'persistent' AF. He said AF will only
