what is the best blood thinner for afib
I was using Flacinide for treating my a fibs as a pill in the pocket. (10 years) Then I caught diabetes and had something happened that made the Flacinide not work to end afib attacks. Now doctors want me on blood thinners. They chose Metropolol for helping with a fibs but not sure what is choice for

Telephone Consultation
I have a telephone consultation with the Cardio team this Thursday, my first one. I have had a 24 hour heart monitor, an ECG and a chest x-ray all of which have come back as normal, yet the palpitations have become much worse in the last month that when I'm having one, I can barely speak and it feels

Ablate and pace
I started with left sided atrial flutter which responded well to cardioversion and kept me symptom free for nearly two years. I have stage one heart block so when I started to get occasional further episodes I had a pacemaker fitted so my dose of Bisoprolol could be increased from 1.25mg to 5mg daily

feeling down
This morning, my blood pressure spiked to over 180/90 again, and so I went back to the hospital. This time, I had to go to the GP assessment unit. My blood pressure came down to 152/85, so they let me go home, with a prescription for Ramipril 2.5gm to take, if my blood pressure stays at 180 or above

Is there a “recovery sheet” on what to do/not do after a cardioversion.
had first cardioversion in December 2024, which lasted 5 days. Next cardioversion is booked for next Thursday, hospital advice was rest for 24 hours, no alcohol or caffeine, no driving. After 48 hours back to normal. Any suggestions to try and prolong sinus rhythm would be appreciated

Fib-4 score 0.66
Hello Everyone, please advise if fib-4 score is same as fibro scan score. Mine is 0.66 or 1 32. I am worried sick about it. It says the score is intermediate. I think I have terry nails, itching and dull pain. Is this mean that I have advanced cirrhosis? My blood test are normal.

Ramipril, diarrhoea and pred
After doubling my dose of amlodipine due to my BP still being too high, I suffered from poor sleep quality - my fitbit recorded very little if any, deep sleep. I dropped back to 5mg and immediately my sleep improved. But now they've put me on ramipril 2.5mg to try, in addition to the 5mg amlodipine.
