Permanent AF, decision to do nothing
I’m have AF constantly since months, maybe years. My heart rate is normally in range (70/80) and I don’t have any symptoms. I conducted an active and fulfilling life. I went to the cardiologist for the first visit and he left me the 2 options: 1. Do nothing and go on with your normal life 2. Try cardioversion

pregnancy RLS
I was on medication before I was pregnant because my RL was so severe. Since being pregnant the medication wasn’t advised due to lack of research. I am approaching 32 weeks pregnant and it’s worse than ever! I can’t sleep. Iv tried iron supplements, tens machine, ice packs, magnesium cream and bath salts

Taking Flecainide with Bisoprolol
When I was first diagnosed with AF a few years ago I was told to use the "pill in the pocket" approach to terminate an episode by using bisoprolol and flecainide - the flecainide 20 minutes after the bisoprolol. Now, for the last year I've been on bisoprolol 1.25mg daily and just take the occasional

Ativan for anxiety
Since being diagnosed I have had near panic experiences and great waves of anxiety. Some of the meds are stressful on the body and I found that
Ativan 0.5 MG
worked for me when needed. I heard that it is very addictive. I wonder
how many of you manage your anxiety
? Thank you so much,

Obesity and ablation
Anyone had ablation who is on the large side. Maxed out on digoxin and bisoprolol apixaban & entresto and ef is 27% reading is suboptimal due at afib. Been in afib 5years now never tried cardioversion just left it as it was with meds. Fed up is an understatement only thing about leaving it is covid come

Alternative to Anticoagulation?
This is very new and exciting. Just a case history for now, but apparently they have done a Left Atrial Appendage (LAA)Closure during an RF catheter ablation procedure, guided by 3D printing technology! As many of you know, there now exist several devices like Watchman and Amulet that are inserted

19 days post cyroablation
Working in the yard today felt a slight shortness of breath, came in and pulled out the kardia pad... Surprise, surprise..."possible atrial fibrillation"...I am familiar with the blanking period and hopefully this is an anomaly and NSR returns. Just thought I would share my disappointment and ask

AV - Ablation and Tachycardia-Bradycardia
I have been diagnosed with Tachycardia-Bradycardia, a condition I have l had for many years. I must admit I did not have many physical or annoying symptoms, but had had periodic high blood pressure readings even while taking 50mg of Metoprolol daily. I also had occasional pulse readings ranging from

Paroxysmal Afib affecting sleep
Just when I was beginning to relax the good old afib hit me like a hammer at 5am Monday morning waking me with a jolt. I had a very stressful weekend with relationships out of control with my family so I suppose I half expected it. Unfortunately, I am very symptomatic and my episodes go on for around

Desperate for help
next Friday I will have a PSMA PTscan , which I failed because lie straight on the table due to pain. Lately, with the doctor it has been decided to cut the pain meds. Removed patches, pills down. Ok! Tried to lie down straight and I couldn’t do it!? What can be done in order to get me ready for the

Ablation for ventricular tachycardia
When I've posted here before over the last 8 years it has been about my own fairly benign AF, which needed a second cardioversion a few months ago. This time, I'd welcome your advice for my wife, who has patiently put up with my moans and groans, and herself went into ventricular tachycardia a couple

Ectopics one after the other
Hi there, I hope it's ok to join? I've posted on here before on the British Heart Foundation but I wondered if anyone here could also help me. Very brief history, I am female, aged 47 and perimenopausal (on HRT). I started having palpitations, ectopic beats around 2 years ago and had a suspected SVT

Uncertain about Amiodarone and cardioversion
I've been in AF since mid November 2022 having previously had only the odd episode of no more than 6 hours. All started after the C virus vaccine and then after the boosters. I consulted a private EP and he has prescribed Amiodarone followed by cardioversion. Presumably that will lead on to ablation

Anxiety and A-Fib
I had anxiety over getting a Cochlear Implant done. I was taking Atarax on top of Zyrtec which causes QT Elongation. So I was diagnosed with AFIB and sent to the ER. Prescribed Metoprolol and a 81 mg aspirin. I didn't take the Metoprolol because it was on a Recall list by the FDA for 3 months as it

An interesting thought
I have had Afib paroxysmal on and off for 10 years. I now take 2.5 mg Bisoprolol each morning and have since had no Afib attacks or wobbles. However, my Apple watch always says I have Afib, and any time I have an ECG it says I have Afib. Yet I appear fit as a flea, can do manual jobs and work, etc

Long QT
My daughter had a cardiac arrest upon waking up whilst on holiday, she's only 16 and fortunately her sister was sharing a room with her and came to us for help. My wife went outside our chalet for help whilst I did all I could not knowing really what was happening. A friend off the campsite came in and

pacemaker and a fib
I have had paroxysmal A Fib since 2001. In recent times I developed sick sinus syndrome and long pauses. In March this year I was given a dual chamber pacemaker. I have had no A Fib episodes since until this morning when I woke up with it thumping away. Disappointing but I suppose it had to happen
