Stopping Sotolol after ablation - fast HR and breathless
Hello, I am an ablation for Paroxysmal AFib and Flutter on 11th July. All went well. As well as AFib I used to get long periods ( a week or more) of other arrhythmia -PACs, SVTs, PVCs. They told me the ablation might not help stop these. During the 3 month blanking period, had some days of chest

About anxiety
The number of times I've been told all my symptoms are from anxiety you wouldn't believe. Problem is when they take my oxygen levels or do an ECG they always come back normal.

cardioversion
Hi everyone I had my cardioversion today and it was successful. Thank you everyone for your support and you were all right it wasn’t as bad as I had imagined. When the consultant came to see me before discharge he was a bit perturbed! He said I was shocked three times and didn’t convert straight away

Understanding the way forward
I am an 81 year old female. My Thyroid/2nd goitre was removed about 7 years ago. Prescribed Levothyroxine and seemed to recover OK for a while. About 5 years ago experienced tiredness, and a long-standing viral respiratory infection. GP referred me to consultant but usual blood tests etc rated as normal

Luscii App
Hi from Today hospital has asked me to record daily blood pressure, pulse rate and weight. And then they message no action needed. Bit for some strange reason they ate not getting the point these snap shots of my health don't actually tell the story of what is actually going on. Ecg are more or less

Heart palpatations and Afib
I've been having heart palpatations for about a year now. My smart watch regularly tells me I'm in Afib and I have an app that records my watch ECG. Of all these, I've had 91% abnormal results, with a PVC burden of 23%. I've had a 6 day holter on and should recieve feedback from this next week. I'm struggling

Chest Spasms
Hi I suffer with moderate stenosis of the aortic valve and left bundle branch block. I have always enjoyed long brisk walks. Over the past couple of years i have often had what i can only describe as a small chest spasm, usually during the early stages of my walk. This never bothered me and i would

When you talk about heart rate on here . Do you mean the red pulsing heart ? On Apple Watch .
I’m starting to ignore the ecg as it’s getting me and hubby confused so concentrating on the red heart on the Apple Watch . As I think the ecg counts the flutters from the top part of the heart thst gets confused with the electrical signals . The heart function nurse said that digoxin can mask the problem

Recent ecg
Heart wise I only suffer from occasional sinus tachycardia. A recent ecg by paramedics( gallstone problem) showed a possibly enlarged left atrium. Do I need to see my GP about this?

Clopidogrel
In June 2023 I ended up in A&E with some odd symptoms and the doctors thought I had a TIA, after a MRI, CT with contrast, ECG, Blood tests, Echo and a heart monitor for a week they could not confirm or deny what happened that day but wanted to keep me on clopidogrel for 3 months just incase. Since then

Will the cardiologist listen if I show them my Fitbit heart rate graphs?
I had an overnight ECG a few months ago and the results made the GP refer me to the cardiologist. They only said because of ectopic beats but I now know that they're quite common so I don't know what they want to talk to me about. I was told I'd be having tests like an echocardiogram and maybe a stress

When to take bisoprolol ?
Hi , My husband is on 7.5 in the morning and I’ve reduced him to 5 in the evening as he has been so tired all the time . They only upped it by 2.5 when I rang heart function nurse when his ecg on his watch was creeping up to 130 . He was on digoxin before which seemed to keep his ecg around 89/90 but

Persistent AF, Diltiazem, side effects or Menopause??
I apologise in advance for what will be quite a lengthy post.... :( I was diagnosed with persistent a year ago Oct 22, but likely I had it unknowingly for about 2 years prior and put breathlessness and tiredness to work/being unfit. I am 57. During that 12 months I was on Bisoprolol for 9 months and

It all started with a purple toe!
I've had high cholesterol for more than twenty years and although I've been prescribed statins, have never continued taking them until recently when I developed a purple toe. The doctor was concerned it was an embolism and I was sent for several tests and to see a consultant. It appears from an ECG
