A-Flutter Ablation Success
How many have had an a-flutter ablation and it lasted? My doctor made it sound like its one and done for a long time to come but the more I read, the more it makes me think it's just temporary and a way of life to have to keep going in or then possibly have to get another one for Afib very soon after

Cox maze: anyone had this procedure?
Hi all just booked for a private consult with cardiothoraticic surgeon in northwest, hopefully for Cox maze procedure for afib. Was in a+e for 14 hours yesterday on monitors...sent me home, still in AFib. Long story, but bit by bit I am finding out that treatment for my AFib is very limited due to other

I am back again sorry if I wrote this last night.
almost a month ago I had a cardioversion and it was amazing. I have been dealing with a heart rate in the 150s since the end of April. When I woke up from the CV it was 82. I actually had a smile as I awoke. I did not even know my heart rate was down yet so maybe it was the drugs lol but I felt happier

Did you know 80% of sudden cardiac deaths could be avoided if a defibrillator was used together with CPR within a few minutes? These two simple steps can save thousands of lives each year in UK.

Metoprolol
I have a CT angiogram tomorrow at 0830 and have been given two tablets of Metoprolol (50mg) to take 12 hrs and then 2hrs before the procedure. This is apparently to slow the heart down (to below 60bpm). I rang the hospital and told them that I already take Sotalol and my heart rate is generally slow

Was there a trigger for your symptoms Mine was likely the death of a loved one š„¹
my symptoms all started after the death of my dad at the end of 2019 - I first started to take them āseriously ā in feb / March 2020 . Although the diagnostic process was long - as most of you will know - the consultant felt it was likely that this Emotional trauma was my trigger . Just wondered

ICD Issue

Post Ablation breathing difficulties
Hi all! So, Iām 11 weeks post my (first ablation) and I seem to be one of the lucky ones with zero Afib symptoms since the procedure. Long may it last! But Iāve been having breathing issues ever since the op and wanted to know if others have been in a similar position? Generally my chest just feels

Never Ending
I was only diagnosed a week ago, after a weekend of being in AFib, went to the ER. Confirmed. It's been non stop ever since. I am now on Xarelto and Metoprolol 50 x2 a day. NO relief. Most of my ECG readings show heart rate around 130-140. BP mostly ok--a bit high, but not awful. I find myself

Well Woman physio
Well had an appt with a private physio, who is so well experienced in womens troubles. So wish I had visited her before going on these tablets. They have not been good for me. She has given me hope for no surgery. The last months have been awful. But she has written to my GP saying estrogen cream

AF taking a different direction??
Had an AF attack yesterday and it was terminated after 3 hours with my PIP 200 mg Flecainide and half a metoprolol tablet. This is about average and I have attacks every 7 to 10 days. After a few hours rest I went for a walk but didnāt feel great, lethargic and generally off par. I kept checking my apple
