HCM - Symptoms and Treatment
Hello all Only just joined because I want to reach out to someone. Feel like I’m hitting a brick wall. So disclaimers, I have been overweight for most of my life and lifestyle could have been better. However, I was active, never ill and tried to lose some weight often. I have had a diagnosis of HCM

An Update to Tokyo Update
It's 5 months today since my mini-maze with Dr Ohtsuka in Tokyo. Yippee !!! 🎂 I will save the song and dance for the 6 month milestone, save to say that I am in NSR each and every day for the whole day. I take zero medications and do not require an anti-coagulant as my left atrial appendage was removed

Travel insurance with ICD
Hi everyone, I had a cardiac arrest back in February this year. I was out running with a friend, and towards the end of the run we did a sprint finish resulting in my heart stopping and I collapsed. Luckily my friend knew CPR and saved my life that day. He did it till the ambulance came and I’m

Variations in persistent Afib
My resting heartbeat has remained fairly constant (85 - 90) since I went into persistent Afib around 6 months ago. My symptoms, however, are very variable. I get the chest full of frogs sensation from time to time, just like those with PAfib. And some days I have good energy at least half the day without

when a tablet is not THE tablet
Before I tell My story I just want to make the point that I am sensitive to all Meds. I was diagnosed with Perm. Afib 5 years ago and tried on several Anticoags. before settling with Eliquis (apixaban) as the one I could tolerate. I have taken Eliquis for the last 5 years without any issues. In January

Acupuncture for bladder issues
We have been trying everything over the past 7 years for our son who has dysfunctional voiding. Currently Solifenicin and TENS from the consultant. We asked if we could try acupuncture if TENS has no impact. Has anyone been down this route - or anything else not NHS standard? We feel we have tried

YIKES-no Flecainide for 5 days
My ablation is in 3 days and my EP had me stop taking Flecainide 5 days prior (but I'm to remain on Eliquis until day of procedure.) I must admit I've been nervous stopping the drug. I'm moving slower, doing deep breathing throughout the day, removing any stress. I have had 3 episodes of Afib since

TENS machines & AF
Does anyone here use a TENS machine? A physio has recommended one to me for a different health issue. Pads would be on ankles, not near heart. I’ve lone PAF (no pacemaker). AFib isn’t contraindicated, but sending electrical signals through my body feels counter-intuitive. Thx.

Can Alcohol trigger Tachycardia?
Hi evryone. I had a heart attack in late 2019, and soon after had an ICD fitted. After 2 years of getting to know a new array of feelings in my chest I was, until a couple of weeks ago, feeling very well and very confident. But a week ago I had a serious event where I was informed my ICD nearly went

Counting the days to an ablation for Focal Atrial Tachycardia
Tanta Anna follow up! Has anyone had this type of ablation? It’s my sixth ablation! This has been an awful experience for the last four months- now weaning off atenolol, which may be feel very ill. Stayed on that medication after many other trials. I am in the US, traveling 1000 miles to Dr in

Ablation happening soon
Hey everyone So back in march I had an abnormal rythym detected by my ICD. I had an emergency meeting with a cardiologist about having an ablation. I honestly freaked out due to some horrible experiences, he put my mind at rest. I've had my pre-op assessment which was a phone call with an awesome nurse
