Verapamil v bisoprolol
I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AF about 15 months ago, given 10mg of Bisoprolol together with Rivaroxaban and statins. I hate the bisoprolol, and through discussion with GP, I have reduced it, but it still gives me a 'foggy' head and, I think, has contributed to weight gain. Having recently seen an

Another twist for those of you following along
Quick history. Previous electrophysiologist had suggested flecainide + beta blocker and/or consider ablation earlier this year. Experienced lots of episodes September and October and a short episode of what was deemed possible VT end of November. Had Stress echo, positive for inducible ischemia.

worried about hubbys chest pains
my husband has been having mild chest pains for months now and hasn’t told me until recently while we were visiting our daughter in Canada. The thing is this, while we were there we were helping her convert her basement into 3 separate rooms so hubby was putting up partition walls which is heavy work

Update on my previous post
I spoke with consultant and he recommends I have an ecg at my local gp and because its very hard to detect my palpitations on a holter monitor he suggested trying to monitor it on a reliable heart rate app I found the most reliable one called (Fibricheck) has anyone else used this? And was it able to

Update from post yesterday if people read.
I’d like to say thank you to the people who responded about how I was feeling and my symptoms. So I got checked by a doctor, like just standard stuff like bp, pulse ox and the heart sound thing aha, he said you look perfectly fine and that I haven’t had a heart attack as he’s seen many and especially

LINQ ECG monitor query
Hi, I am due to have a LINQ device fitted following a severe out of the blue cryptogenic stroke in March. Subsequent ECG's including a 7 day ECG have given poor results but not shown anything ie AF. I know research on use of LINQ devices has been beneficial in identifying periodic AF.ECG'S have identified

Pulsating Stomach1
I've been having breathing difficulties for months. Lung hyperinflation, chest X ray says. Everything else normal, I mean Spiro, ECG, Echo. Chest feels tight, as if some pressure is on it, and because of it I can't take a full breathe, making me feel breatheless, always, without fail, worse at night.

Thanks for all your support & update from yesterday
Just an update as everyone has been so kind in replying with support, I’ve seen the GP had some bloods taken and saw the cardiologist again this evening. Following an ECG & heart scan all seems to be well. No fluid in the pericardial spaces has happened with the last two ablations. My heart is remaining
