Sotalol
Since finding this site about 3 years ago i have found it to be a great source of information and gives me a lot of confidence in dealing with my AF. Since my first episode 4 years ago i have been taking anti-coagulants and bisoprolol. I had one episode per year for the first couple of years. Lasting

Bicalutamide and Eligard
PSA went up to 0.87. Doctor recommend Eligard (Lupron) with bicalutimide and dutasteride. No choice. I went thru thus on Jan 10, 2024. Hospital said I have to run thru Eligard for 24 months on a quarterly basis. Every 3 month. Doctor Said Eligard works only for 2 years, and I have to find another

How soon after taking 4 month eligard shot can you switch to firmagon?
I started my hormone treatment with firmagon + apalutamide beginning 2023. The treatment worked fantastic and all my pain faded away and my psa dropped from 350 to .09 over 11 months. My life was as near normal as can be expected with cancer. Almost immediately my MO was recomending to switch to 4

Tremors and flutters.
My heart feels like it's trembling and fluttering most of the time . Makes me feel quite unwell. Had a Cardioversion , heart rate not bad now but still got these awful symptoms. Could it be Atrial ectopics . Anyone else like this ?

So fed up
I was first diagnosed in May 23 with PAF and Bisoprolol kept everything under control under until another AFib episode in October. Since then I have been on Flecainide 50g morning and night and bisopropol 2.5 morning and night. I don’t feel my heart as much but my Apple Watch is showing an average

Cut loose from hospital support
I posted a few days ago about turning down the offer of a second ablation as I've been in NSR for 12 months. My arrhythmia nurse has just phoned and pointed out that, as I am 71, my time may be running out for the option of further ablations! Am I correct in thinking that there are plenty of people

Post Cardioversion
In my previous post I explained that my 3rd carioversion did not work even after one hour I was back into afib. However something strange is happening or at least it seems strange to me but may be normal. Five days after my cardio I got up around 2:30-3:00 am to use the loo. I could feel my heart in

amiodarone
Was admitted via A&E to hospital last October with fast AF, 174 bpm., Sob, high bp. Because of other underlying problems with CKD, doc put me on Amiodarone 200mg daily, along with Nebivolol bi-daily, replacing Bisoprolol. Was discharged after 6 days when heart rate was consistently below 80bpm. Now

Diltiazem
Had an ablation for atrial flutter last year bur still suffering from shortage of breath and episodes of AF which usually last for a couple of hours. Taking Dabigatran and Flecainide but have now been prescribed diltiazem 60mg twice a day. Has anybody had experience of diltiazem?

Hand grip training for lowering blood pressure?
Good morning all you helpful people. I’ve just heard a fascinating thing on the Zoe podcast, about hand grip strength and high blood pressure. Apparently, using a hand-held device to strengthen your hand grip over several weeks can effectively lower your blood pressure. I’ve had a look online, and it

Hello
Introducing myself, as I'll be looking through posts in the coming weeks... I'm 61, recently diagnosed with AF, but reckon I've been suffering for about 2 years. Biosprolol, Apixaban and Digoxin. Due to do the 'zaps' in 8-12 weeks.

Seeking advise about an implantable loop recorder.
I am a 72 year old male in good health. I had persistent AFIB for many years – probably caused by 40 years of alcoholism. Four years ago, I quit drinking after a mild stroke and began exercising religiously and adhering to a healthy diet. A little over a year ago I had an ablation done, and now I take

Flecainide and Diltiazem
Hello fellow AFIBers, I have recently prescribed Flecainide as a replacement anti arrhythmic for Mulaq for afib along with Diltiazem as second blood pressure medications. I am interested to know if any other afiber is taking such combination and his or her side effects. thank you all

Why I stopped metoprolol
Quick summary: I’ve had one ablation, for A-fib, August 2022. All was well A-flutter began in August 2023. I’ve had five cardioversions since then, lasting from three weeks to three days. I am now in A-flutter awaiting an ablation on February 6. Success rate statistically is around 95%. Fingers crossed

Low BP in afib and covid
After all the years I have finally caught COVID. Had a headache for a couple of days which has gone now. Not much coughing, just feel a bit achy and weak.Unfortunately, it's sent me into an afib episode although my heart rate is staying below 100bpm in fact it's hovering around 70 to 80bpm. I was concerned
