Treatment uncertainty
Following an ECG which unexpectedly showed I had AF, I was prescribed 5mg Apixaban twice daily. I have been taking these for 9 weeks and in that time I have suffered 13 severe headaches and almost as many mild headaches. Treatment started at about the same time as the hay fever season and I thought

PVC’ getting worse
4 years ago I passed out and my Apple Watch showed a flat line. I felt a gurgling in my chest and did an ecg on it and as I passed out it picked up a straight line. Hit my head and was unconscious so rushed to hospital. Did loads of tests and scans and was referred to Papworth. Put it down as vasavagal

struggling with atrial flutter
just wondering if any of you have had problems controlling atrial flutter (mine is atypical). Most posts I read are about atrial fibrillation. I had an incomplete and unsuccessful ablation in March, for typical flutter, but recently my symptoms are increasingly worse. I am troubled by a constant fast

DC Cardioversion
So, had a private consultation with a Cardiologist yesterday to investigate my AF and subsequent shortness of breath. I had previously had 2 separate lung function tests and seen a respiratory consultant twice as well. The net result was that my lungs were normal, and a low key level of emphysema was

Update
Well I had my ECG at the surgery today and the report shows a result with a few issues that included abnormal left axis deviation and non specific st abnormality amongst others. Obviously this is all gobbledygook to me but the first time since I was diagnosed with AF that I’ve had an abnormal ECG .

Update on wide QRS Kardia reading
Well the arrhythmia team finally got back to me yesterday. As far as they can tell from the ECG I sent them they can see a delay in the transmission of electrical signals from the ventricles to the atrium causing my symptoms. It feels like ectopics but the rhythm is normal . They have advised me to get

Lupus and mitral valve prolapse/regurgitation
Hello. I’ve been undergoing some cardiac tests over the past few months. In November I stopped taking propranolol after many years. I had taken it to prevent migraine but it stopped being effective. Within days after stopping, I began to feel my heart racing and fluttering and just beating really hard

High fever and AF
My daughter who is 62 has just been in hospital with her third episode of sepsis. She wrote "The registrar looked at my Apple Watch ecg from just before I went back to A&E last Tuesday. It shows that I had atrial fibrillation. She said that it isn’t uncommon for this to happen when people are unwell
