Failure at getting off antiarrhythmic med
I am a 57 years old Male. March 2021, afib episodes, while deep breathing to try to slow my heart rate, fell in syncope, had sustained vtach, vfib and cardiac arrest. Fortunately, I was already hospitalized for rapid afib and watched on a heart monitor. 2 days later I had a pacemaker/defibrilator.

DVLA
Back in August I posted that I'd written to the DVLA about my Afib after I was comparing car insurance quotes for renewal and one of the questions was about notifiable health problems. The DVLA website was a bit ambiguous which is why I contacted them. I finally got a letter this week bit scared to open

I just had my one year anniversary of my second ablation and have now had a year of no af and the only thing I still take is apixoban. I do get an ectopic beat every 50 or so beats on average and occasionally have had lots of ectopics where in my mind the afib is “ trying” to get going. I am not in

Post Wolf Minimaze - 11 days - feeling great
Post Wolf Minimaze - 11 days - I am off Eliquis for life since my surgeon Dr. Randall Wolfe at Houston Methodist Hospital clipped my Left Atrial Appendage. The LAA is where blood pools during afib and can cause a stroke. What a relief to have this done. I am currently AFIB free since 2/21/20 and was

TiredofIBS
Anyone here has experienced getting Afib after strong orgasmic event? Been shocked back into sinus rhythm but cardiologist does not feel this event caused my Afib but my mitral valve regurgitation. No question it was the strong orgasm as I experienced strong heart abnormal beats like your heart was going

Good morning from Texas…in the attempt to give us a new topic (without searching to see if it has already been discussed ad nauseam)… I’m 3 months post ablation with no Afib…hooray…but I have a 30-40 bpm heart rate jump when I get up in the night to visit the bathroom. After I snuggle back in bed it

Permanent AFib
So I have joined the ranks of being permanently in AFib. This has been for two weeks now, and to be honest it feels better than having periods of AFib. My journey started about 18months ago when I got short bursts of high heart rate and irregular beats. Since then it has got steadily more and more

The same old story
I’m a 75 year old male who enjoyed reasonable health until I was whisked to hospital about 6 months ago with a fib, and since then I’ve been struggling with skipped beats, particularly at night - I’d give anything for a relaxed night’s sleep. I know so many people are in the same boat, hence my heading

Should you see a Cardiologist Specialist?
After a few visits to A&E last year, commencing in June, I was diagnosed with PAF, started on Bisoprolol and Rivaroxaban, I eventually had an Echocardiogram in June this year with a report that all was okay. I have just returned to the gym and swimming this week. This morning I managed 6 lengths with

Hi I’m a 65 year old woman. A nurse. First episode of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was 2015. Started metoprolol 25 mg but after some heart pounders over the years added 12.5 at night. Had an episode of A Fib in September 5 and then November 9. Both times i went the ER, afraid of developing a clot.

Driving after ICD
Hey all. I've posted about this before. I had my ICD check on Monday, 8 weeks after it was fitted. I asked if I could start driving again as I only had to stop for a month because it's a primary prevention fitting. They said I have to speak to my GP as it's the GPS decision. I've not had to surrender
