A tale of caution.
My FIL, whom also has AFIB, was recently switched from warfarin to xeralto. He did not tolerate it well, so while waiting for a Dr. appt to find something easier, he decided...without informing anyone, to reduce the dosage by half. Bad idea. He suffered an ocular stroke and has lost the sight in his

Feeling fed up
I suffer with idiopathic VF and have a S icd in place. This has saved my life so many times but this last year my defib has had to shock me about 9 times all correctly. My constant and specialist are at a loss the medication I’m on should be stopping the extra heart beats but aren’t. A world renowned

Cardioversion
My consultant is recommending cardioversion as the next step in my AF treatment, primarily in order that I can stop taking bisoprolol as this appears to be impacting on my asthma. Has anyone experience of this procedure, success rates, issues with it etc?

Dr. Buchfuhrer Webinar on RLS.org
Just wondered if anyone else watched the webinar 10/13/22? The audio was spotty first 20 minutes or so but interesting after it was fixed. He answered questions for an hour. He said there was new research on TENS for RLS that seemed hopeful but not complete. I had been trying accupuncture for RLS and

TENS Machines and AF
Hi, I recently posted about painkillers (for Femoral Nerve pain in my case) and the myriad potential side effects including heart rhythm problems, which put me off taking any painkillers at all. At an appointment with a physiotherapist today I asked if a home TENS Machine could be used to alleviate

Ablation in March, discharged in August
I am very appreciative of the support provided by this forum. I appear to be one of the lucky ones in that I had my ablation back in March at Bournemouth Hospital and it went well with a quick recovery. I have had no Afib episodes since, I was put on a 7 day monitor back in June which showed nothing

Just diagnosed AFib
Hi, I am reaching out to you because I was just diagnosed with A Fib as well as an irregular heart beat and prescribed Apixaban (and Metroprolol to use if my heart goes out of control -it has a couple of times). Can anyone tell me if I should have any concerns about Apixaban. What I can expect.
