An Alternative to taking tablets.
Hi all, I have moderate LVSD EF 35% and LBBB I am intolerant to all heart medication+. Is there anyone else on here like me or am I really rare as my cardiologist suggests. I am now moving onto my 4th specialist in hope of finding a solution to my issue of tablets. I have been refused an ICD due

ICD and how it changes your life
I’ve been told to have an ICD fitted as it’s a good insurance policy to have in case my heart rhythm start to dis align. I’d like to how has life changed since having it fitted. I read on the BHF about keeping mobile 6 inches apart and not going through metal detectors etc. What happens if I do end

Diagnosed with AFIB 3 months ago & stressed out
I was just recently diagnosed with AFIB. I went to lay down and the heart just started banging in my chest like a bunch of marbles let loose. Went to the emergency room and after a cardioversion and 30 hours of monitoring the cardiologist released me. This came totally out of the blue....I am slim,

Exercising on Amiodarone (and in Afib)
Hi - as the last throw of the dice I am taking Amiodarone (Arycor) until I get a cardioversion in January (will be my 7th on top of two ablations). So I am in a-fib - am trying to build my strength again - I do push ups, sit ups and other resistance training and alternate that with step ups on the garden

Blood in Urine
My apologies for broaching such a problem, but I am looking for some advice on my present worrying problem of blood in my urine. I have had 2 cystoscopies which found no problem regarding my bladder. I have had a CBG and weak Mitral valve repair since 2017 and an ICD fitted in 2018. At present I have

Persistent AF
HI all. I am taking 10mg Bisoprolol and Digoxin for persistent AF. I was due to have a cardioversion but as the meds seemed to be working I decided to swerve the cardioversion especially as I was told it was only a50/50 chance of success. My question is, should I take all the Bisoprolol at once?

Has anyone experienced a reduction of heart scarring?
I have a lot of scarring on my heart and to be honest it really scares me, it’s the primary reason I was told to have an ICD fitted. I’m quite young and I eat healthy so I’ve been looking in to ways to reduce heart scarring. Some people say it’s possible and others say it’s not, I will still try but

Disopyramide and Vagal AF
I hope this post helps some of you out there. I’ve had PAF for around 15 years that has generally been under control with the use of Flecainide and ablation. 20 months ago I had to come off Flecainide following diagnosis of mild coronary heart disease in one of my arteries. I have been in and out of

Anyone else in afib 100% of the time?
After an ablation, several cardioversions and numerous medications, my pacemaker indicates that I have been in afib 100% of the time since last March. I'm on digoxin (which keeps me from feeling every skip and thump), metoprolol and Xarelto. I feel terrified for the future and discouraged that all

Afib ablation 3 months on.
Hey, So 3 months since I had my pvi ablation for afib. It's been a bumpy road and one I hadn't expected. Basically I spent 2.5 months going out of my mind with worry, exhausted and out of breath with a far worse case of afib than i went in with. 🙈 I really felt like my ability to exercise was gone forever

Volume of ectopics graph in the 17 weeks since my ablation
450 ecgs in 115 days using a KardiaMobil 6L. I ecg after exercise, when Kardia diagnosis is other than Normal Sinus Rhythm, if I am suspicious of even mild palpitations and also following previous ectopics (so if I have ectopics, I’ll do repeat ecgs until they’ve gone).

Mouth Taping
I have been a ' mouth breather' all my life . ( 70 yrs old now). I would say it became problematic as I entered by 50's. Waking up in the middle of the night with extreme dry mouth/throat. Then waking in the morning with a slight headache and low energy. I somehow landed on a 'mouth taping' site (

Here we go again!
It has been seven years since I posted, though I've been checking in on all of you! Amazing to see how things have changed since 2013 when I first followed this feed. I am most grateful for all the information as well as the sharing. I go in tomorrow for my 5th ablation - so for those of you who are

AFib and Herbal Anxiety Meds (I’m new to all this!)
Hello! This is all still relatively new to me and this week my anxiety has been awful! I am on bisoprolol and wondered if it was ok to take Kalms whilst on these beta blockers? I don’t know if I can cope with the anxiety and horrible panicky feelings anymore and need something to help me. I feel so

Feeling sad
Anyone else feel forgotten Having a moan, I was diagnosed three years ago with AFib , I am 73. This disease is the most awful thing and no one in the medical profession seems interested . I have no contact with my Consultant and my Doctors told me you have a chronic condition , learn to live with it.
