What comes first? |Silent AFib
Hi, First time posting in this hub. Previously, no issues with my heart and previously pasted all tests; no artery disease or stenosis. Out of nowhere, I had my first AFIB episode in December of last year. Restored to NSR in 30 minutes with medication. I have had 2 more, once during a stress

High diastolic blood pressure
Been having issues over the last 6 months (and increasingly severe for the last 3 months after I had COVID) with feeling dizzy and like I am about to faint, with some shortness of breath and a pounding chest. I went to my doctor thinking that maybe it was just stress or anxiety. My blood pressure was

Are Pool and Sauna dangerous with ICD?
I am 59 with paroxymal afib with a pacemaker/ICD. For the last 3 months, I had been using saunas. However, this week as I suffered covid, I took a hot bath. I got shocked multiple times by my ICD. Now, I definitely will stay away from saunas! I am even afraid of swimming 🏊♂️ which I have been enjoying

Heart Quiver
I have had Arterial Fibrillation since October 2021, was taken ill and had really high infection markers. On medication, had a Cardioversion in August last year, when I woke up was told back in rhythm, however, step outside the hospital, and it came back with a vengeance, (seems never happened that quickly

Slow pulse after ablation
My normal sinus pulse is 55 to 60 resting. Digoxin and flecanide have sent it even lower.Also meds are giving me all sorts of different rhythms and pauses. My cardiologist will do an ablation but says I may need a pacemaker after. Anyone with experience of bradycardia from drugs ?

Hello everyone. I just joined and was asked to introduce myself so I am simply pasting the bio I wrote when joining. It pretty much describes my story. I will read more of the existing posts before I start asking a lot of questions. I look forward to being part of the group! Bio: I began having episodes

afib/svt
I had ablation for svt around 7 years ago and then cryoablation for afib 6 years ago. I am taking both a blood thinner and a small dose of beta blocker While I have felt an occasional off beat it wasn’t until Friday that I entered tachycardia of around 109. I had not taken the beta blocker the night

Second Successful Ablation with Dr. Natale
I am now one week past my second ablation with Dr. Natale in Austin, Texas. The biggest miracle of all was that when I went off of Flecainide five days before surgery, nothing happened and I stayed in sinus rhythm. My first ablation was nearly five years ago, and I tried unsuccessfully to go off of Flecainide

They Do Not Believe You. Get a Kardia!
So I had a video appointment recently with an ep. Unfortunately, some of my medical records did not arrive at his office on time, so he only had partial records. He had some ekg's that showed flutter, but he couldn't find one with afib. I explained to him that I have a 40-year history of afib progressing

Norovirus and atrial fibrillation
Had an ablation back in May 2022 but not heard from the hospital since the procedure. Generally not been too bad apart from 1 week with ectopics, bigeminals and trigeminals. Still on apixaban and 200mg of sotalol though.... That is, until now. I picked up my mother from hospital on Friday and started

Off the AF meds, scared!
Has anybody got a similar experience of coming off the meds so soon, it just seems early days I spoke to my Cardiologist last week, after an ablation in September I was tachycardic and a cardio version was required in December. Sinus rhythm restored and February 7th he took me off both the beta blockers

Advice on RLS as a reaction to medication?
Hello, I currently have long covid and vestibular neuritis, and have had these conditions for around six months. The vestibular neuritis is causing considerable vertigo symptoms. Just over a month ago, my GP gave me Betahistine to try and ease the vertigo. Within a few days of this, I began getting
