ECG Flappy gaps?
Hi awesome people, This is an ECG taken on my iWatch on waking this morning - still laying flat in bed. I’m currently in yet [i]another[/i] Amiodarone-suppressed episode of PAF. Currently approx 36 hours. At least the Amio is keeping the heart rate lower, but I seem to be getting more episodes

A-Fid
5 years ago I was rushed to hospital with 100 lbs of fuild in my chest, around my lungs, heart, stomach and just rest all over me. I was diagnosed with A Fid. I am on Eliquis, beta blockers, lasix. In 5 years never had another episode. Could have been the fluid?

travel insurance for Egypt
Good morning. We are flying to Egypt in November for a hotel stay in Cairo before a week cruising down the Nile. It’s been booked for a year. Has anyone used Free Spirit travel insurance or All CleAr? My husband (68 tomorrow)had a cardiac arrest in March and has had an ICD inserted. He has had a replacement

Is flecainide a good drug?
I have been very low profile of late because I had nearly two years free of AF - then it came back last Wednesday with a vengeance and refused to go away... This resulted in a trip to the doctor's and then A&E on Thursday because the rate was quite high, blipping up to 150+ bpm. To cut a long story

Afib and heart failure
Does afib always lead to heart failure?I have just had a medication review with a specialist who works with our GP surgery and doctors. He claims that any afib present leads to heart failure between 1 and 20% in the early stages. This is frightening. My afib episodes are very symptomatic and come around

Advice on upcoming holiday
Hi everyone, I am looking for advice.I have paroxysmal afib with episodes coming roughly every 4 months (I've never yet discovered the trigger and my EP says I probably never will). Anyway, I am extremely symptomatic with heart rate jumping between 80 ish to 150 ish lasting around 30 hours before reverting

Newly Diagnosed Afib
Hi all, I greatly appreciate finding this forum. This is mostly just an introduction. I am 55, in pretty good health, and wigged out by the diagnosis. I had 2 episodes in 2019, I thought they were dehydration and too much Soda, so I worked to make sure that did not happen again. I had 3 episodes

Post EP Ablation
I went into AF after getting sick from food poisoning/belly bug in early Feb23. I stayed in AF and had shortness of breath after being released from hospital. I was put on Diltiazem at that time. I saw my heart dr early Mar23. Then a week later I saw my heart rhythm dr. He put me on Propafenone

Subcutaneous icd
Hi folks,I now have a date in October for a subcutaneous icd. The one with the lead not going in to the heart. As it is being implanted a year after my heart attack I presume I will be barred from driving for a month, not six months post op? Anyone had any problems after this procedure? I know I won't

Mis-Information on Internet. BE CAREFUL
I have had afib for 30+ years now and I should know better. I googled afib and dark chocolate which I know is a NO_NO as it has always caused me to go into afib, but I was reading a study from a supposed Dr. who said dark chocolate can help prevent afib episodes. I knew this to be not true but guess

Advisory letter Re Medtronic ICD.
I had an ICD fitted in 2018 and life has been great since then. However, a recent letter from Harefield Hospital informs me that the Medtronic device which I have has potential problems, in that there is a small possibility that the ICD may not deliver the full amount of energy if/when a shock is delivered

multaq
Hello, I am posting this for my mother. She has Afib and her doctor prescribed Multaq and she finally started taking it. She thinks it is making her feel dizzy. Has anyone had this side effect? My mom is very sensitive to medications. Thank you in advanced.

Side Effects from Metoprolol 25mg
I am taking Metoprolol 25mg halved twice a day for AFib and having side effects of almost passing out or a weird feeling of like I would be passing out which has happened twice now. I'm taking it with Eliquis. Is anyone else having this symptom?
