Digoxin added to Bisoprolol
Have been taking 3.75 msg bisoprolol for past 3 months with excellent results of hr of 61/63 and it was being considered whether to reduce slightly because of side effects. Suddenly my heart rate increased to 120 over a couple of days. ECG showed tachicardia but blood pressure excellent, full blood count

Help please trying to understand this ECG
Hi, I’m hoping someone can shed some light on the following. Looking through the previous ECG’s I’ve taken with my Kardia I found by accident that if I download one of these there is a sheet that gives a graphical view of my heart rate over the 30 seconds. I then found on many of my past ECG’s that for

Alternative to a Fitbit Watch ? - Advice Please
I currently have a Fitbit watch which I found so helpful in recording the normal parameters of heart rate, health metrics, steps, exercise, calories etc and in particular sleep patterns. All was fine until I went into persistent AF such that my Fitbit no longer records sleep patterns plus a number

Beast is Back
Three weeks after my fourth ablation, and advised to drop flecainide, the beast returned. (Kept on metoprolol & Xarelto). Started after an afternoon nap for no reason at all. Confirmed by nurse with ecg yesterday and put back on flecainide until appointment on Monday with ep and another ecg. I’m hoping

First appointment with arrhythmia service.
Hello. I’m 7 wks into my AF journey, having had an episode early March and new to the forum. I’m trying to learn as much as I can. When experiencing my episode where I was tachycardic and diagnosed from ECG with AF , I was discharged on the same day with bisuprolol 2.5 and rivoroxaban 20 mgs daily.

Can't sleep 😢
I'm not sure if I'm in the right place or not, and apologies if not. But I had a hurriedly fitted pacemaker on 1/2/22. Took a bit of getting my head around as I'd been to the doctors regarding near faint episodes over the last three years, my heart issues were never captured on an ecg and so I was

B12 blood test private
Hi❤️ I'm having a good look through my blood results after reading some posts regarding B12.. My surgery are unwilling to test vitamin and minerals along with thyroid 😠 but I've looked through my last 2 years of print outs and I've never had my B12 done🤷♀️ I know it will be futile asking my surgery
