Pacemaker
Good morning so for months I have had feelings of fainting and hardly left my home. Anyway I finally had ecg echocardigram and R test. Saw my cardiologist yesterday and he said that I am now bracycardic as well as having Af so will need a pace maker. Bit of a shock. Also to immediately cut my propanalol

Update on the AF journey…
Hi all, This isn’t so much a question but thought I’d post the ongoing journey…Be interested in what others think anyway. So AF started 22nd July ( or thereabouts). I started flecainide 50mg bd ( twice a day 😉) on 15th August and after 3 days on it on 18th I went back into sinus rhythm. Meantime

Back to work after icd fitted
Hi. My husband suffers from AF and 7 years ago, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. Has an ef of 25%. He is a groundworker/machine driver by trade. His Dr has said he will be unable to return to his work as he would need a fit to work medical, which he would fail. It seems most driving jobs, plant machinery

Scar from Cox-maze procedure
Hi all, I might be having the above procedure and have been reading up on it. One thing I can't find is, what the scar will look like on my chest post-procedure. I already have a scar from my ICD implant and being young (ish) at 44, I'd like to have an idea of what it will look like. Not that it would

Persistant AF but the irregular irregular variety.
Diagnosed April 23 via ECG with persistant AF but not the high pulse rate variety most members seem to have. Mine is always irregular and my pulse constantly ranges between 60 and 90. Not particularly aware of it. Prescribed Nebivilol as beta blocker and Edoxoban as anti coagulant. Marginal Stage 1

Heartbeat post cardioversion
Had 2 cardioversions within 3 months of initial diagnosis of Afib back in November 2019. Fine until arrythmia returned early July this year. Initially told to stop my regular Bisoprolol 1.25mg per day until cardioversion which I had mid August. Back in nsr since then. After the latest cardioversion

Mrs Mac.
Hello everyone, can anyone identify and sympathise with my husband. He has arrhythmic type cardiomyopathy, an icd implant and he has been in heart failure for 7 years now. He changed his diuretic (furosemide)a few months ago due to side effect of gout attacks. The current one (bumetanide) is causing

Bisoprolol - dramatic change in hr.
hello. HR has been 120- 130 for a while now taking either 5mg or 7.5mg bisoprolol. The increase in dose to 7.5 mg maybe made an average 5bpm difference. At this point I was in Atrial flutter most of the time. Trying to bring my hr down , it was suggested to me that I increase to 10 mg and then possibly

Any advice on Lead extraction op welcome please
I have been offered an invasive option as we've exhausted most unsuccessful options of medications. I seem to have settled best on Quinedine now after several allergies to other meds. Unfortunately though, I had another defibrillator shock recently after nearly 2 years without any. As I still get almost

I was recently diagnosed with afib and am taking Eliquis and propofenone. I am scheduled for a hip replacement in two weeks and am wondering if having afib makes the surgery more dangerous. Thanks for any advice or info.

sleep apnea and afib
According to monitoring with apple watch, my over night pulse rate often goes into the low 40s. In addition when I check in the morning I am often in afib. I have sleep apea and use a CPAP. Just wondering if anyone else has these low overnight pulse rates and any linkage to sleep apnea triggering afib

After posting numerous comments on this forum discussing my success at avoiding Afib through controlling gas buildup, I feel that it is important to be candid about any setbacks. This past Saturday, I was awakened at 4:30 AM with Afib and remained in arrhythmia for 8 hours. I waited it out and have

Update - Bisoprolol to Diltiazem
Just to update from my previous post where I mentioned changing from Bisoprolol to Diltiazem. I had been on 1.25 mg Bisoprolol for about 5 months but hated the awful side effects (tiredness and shortness of breath) and found I was in AF most days, even tried Flecainide twice daily but that did nothing

Ablation
Here we go, I was expecting this when I saw my EP last night. Having breakthrough episodes of afib lasting over 30 hours whilst in Sotalol. My EP is not concerned about the frequency (paroxysmal afib) but the fact that they are lasting 30 hours plus he isn't happy with So, I was placed on his NHS waiting
