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

BP monitor
Howdy folks - I used to take my BP monthly with a manual BP cuff and monitor. Since going into permanent controlled AFib I find it almost impossible to get an accurate reading using this method. On reading up on this I understand that most BP monitors are "fooled" by AFib and will give inaccurate readings

IBS, seems to have gone after antibiotics for another condition.
Hello, I just thought it might be helpful to share my story here. If it even helps one person! I was diagnosed with IBS a couple of years ago after a couple of years of huge suffering. It was steadily getting worse recently to the point that I was literally crying, it felt like labour pains! I tried

Meds post ablation.
Hello. I am 52 and in discussions to have an ablation, probably, in a few months. My Afib was spurred by an overactive thyroid and as far as I can tell I am in pretty much constant Afib. I don't have any major symptoms but if I check my heart rate / rhythm they are always irregular. When I have had EKGs

Prazosin side effect
I use Prazosin for possible anti-PCa effects. Alas, all is not gold that glitters. Prazosin is prescribed for LUTS and high blood pressure, with an effect that tends to lower diastolic more than systolic ( upper number) blood pressure. In my own case it can lower diastolic to below 60, which tends

Just me
I found out I have a-fib. only because my wife heart the beat when laying on my chest. Don't know how long I have had it and never felt it. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and trying to address it at this time. The heart doc put me on 25 mg of Metoprolol and it made my blood pressure too low. Now

Stopped Flecainide, update
I have been off Flecainde now for almost a month. Had two short episodes of Afib the end of the first week. Then nothing. I also noticed that the weird off balance feeling, I have had for at least a year, has gone. So I believe it was caused by the Flecainide. Last night I had a short half hour

Also in Persistent Afib
I am in continous afib with a slower than normal heart rate (brachycardia). I experience no symtoms. I'm on the blood thinner Eliquis, 5 mg, 10 AM and 10PM to prevent my having a stroke. My cardiologist (who performs many ablations per year) recommended I do an ablation. I consulted with another cardiologist
