Was diagnosed with ARVD in August 2008 after checking myself into hospital after fainting. After the condition was finally diagnosed I was given an ICD as insurance against a potential arrhythmogenic issue. In 2017 insurance policy paid out when I had a VT storm where ICD fired 60 times in 45 minutes

Heavy arms and legs…
First time posting. Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with AF in October. It is present all the time - heart rate in 80’s and 90’s. I was aware my heart was racing & I felt tired & uncomfortable. I was immediately put on Apixaban & Bisoprolol. Having started medication my arms & legs became very heavy

Palpitations versus Atrial Fibrillation ?
Over the years, I have had a number of Palpitations, which sometimes they keep me awake, and constant every few seconds. I recently bought myself a Kardia 6 lead ECG Monitor, so I could keep a watch on my heart rhythms, and if this would show up any problems needing looked at Over a few days, there

Starting on Flecainide
My history is that I was first diagnosed with AF in A & E in the early hours of the morning in November 2021 after a very hot curry and half a bottle of wine. I was prescribed anti coagulants and beta blockers. I had a brief reoccurrence in March 2022 but I went back into NSR as soon as they called

Palpitations and flare up of PMR symptoms
Hello everyone, I suppose I just want to share what's happening with people who understand! I have been doing a very very slow taper for quite some time and managed to get to my lowest dose yet of 7.5mg pred earlier this month. However, over the last few weeks, I have had a succession of family things

set pattern to PAF
I have had PAF for about 9 years. Symptoms tolerable but the attacks last about 12 hours. No diagnosed cause and cannot take medication owing to low heart rate just on apaxiban. Heart deemed to be too healthy to have an ablation & run even the low risk. I get an attack every 3 weeks, used to be less

Since diagnosis in 2018, I have pretty much run the gamut of affordable SOC treatments and I finally got my Onco to agree that the treatments were doing more harm than good (based on side effects and endlessly climbing PSA). I have continual gut pain. Is this type of pain what we hear about as

P-Afib from cancer treatment causes different part of heart to misfire.
Hello Everyone,So I was diagnosed with P-Afib nearly 7 years ago. Beta blockers were a disaster and made me exceedingly ill.....Once on a calcium channel blocker, Verapamil, things however settled down. At the time I was told Ablation isn't an option for me as it could be my heart is misfiring due to

I had GP appointment in August and EP on 6/12/22. ECG on that day confirmed in AF followed by Holter monitor in January which shows the AF

I have had PAF for 22 years. Very light burden for 20 years. Over past two years episodes have increased in frequency. It’s now once a week mostly. On Donedarone for 11 months to stop syncope. Works well for that but recent 24 hour holter monitor showed a few 6 second pauses in SNR. I have bradycardia
