Some do and some don't
I was diagnosed with AF and slightly enlarged heart chambers, earlier this year, which has turned out to be permanent AF 24hrs every day. On reading posts it seems different procedures are given for AF with varying success. I have been prescribed Apixaban in addition to bisoprolol. My pulse seems

Tachycardia after ablation
What is your level of endurance/exercise that you comfortably tolerate after ablation? I was working in the garden today, NOT exerting myself much at all and my heart rate was in the 130-140 range for very little effort. I chose to rest, but could have kept working. Is it better not to stress the heart

Hi, I have been diagnosed with slow Atrial Fibrillation since October and still waiting to see a cardiologist. The doctors have given me Apixaban. I have struggled with the symptoms and seem to have episodes every other day especially in the early hours of the nights. I have had to cut hours down at

Anxiety
I think I just want to hear someone say - this is normal , this is okay… I have always suffered from
health
anxiety
but in the past few years it’s more of a generalised anxiety. I find it hard to explain because it’s not a “thought” that triggers my anxiety but sensations.

Atrial Bigeminy
I have searched through the posts about bigeminy and many of them are quite old. I recently had a successful ablation for atrial tachycardia, but now have most incessant atrial bigeminy. There seems to be some varied research out now about atrial bigeminy causing cardiomyopathy. Beta Blockers don't seem

full heart bypass
I have had a full heart bypass after just over 4 months waiting. I am now nearly 3 weeks post op. Nobody could have prepared me of how hard this is. I know I will feel better and I am getting stronger each day. The emotional rollercoaster is the worse. I am sad, angry and trying to be positive all at

How is AF and Heart Failure linked?
Although the term heart failure can sound ‘scary’ it does not mean that your heart is about to stop working! Although heart failure can be a serious condition, it only means your heart is not working as efficiently as it should be and that it needs a little help to make it work better. For further

Scary Feeling of Self Awareness
In 1995 I developed panic attacks due to
health
anxiety
. I’ve been on medication ever since. I’ve never really taken the meds properly though. (Peroxetine) I knew the stories about them being addictive and hard to stop. I’d miss days at a time and only take them after getting the brain zaps.

2nd Ablation for Atrial Tachycardia
After months and months of misery, and my consult with a second EP,.I decided to proceed with a local ablation at Abbott in Minneapolis. I have Atrial Tachycardia/SVT and it has been a long road with no relief from meds, lots of side effects, rough sleep. It was a rough pre-op with my EP recommending

Pains after heart bypass
Hi, had double heart bypass 2 weeks ago and at least once a day I get pains in my neck and chest which ease when I walk about. I did have a partially collapsed lung whilst in hospital and wondered if this was something to do with it. Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I’m seeing the cardiac

Do you find Doctors don’t physically examine you anymore ?
Had a heart bypass 4 years ago but since then I’ve had two unrelated problems that years ago would have entailed a physical examination- primarily by the doctor before a referral . Ok I’m a woman so I won’t go into the specific details . However I had to sign a form before the date of my referral giving

Apixaban
I have recently been prescribed Apixaban instead of Rivaroxaban. Just wondering if anyone has noticed increased heart palpitations? I'm not in full blown Afib but have had irregular heart now for 5 days, my heart rate is not abnormally high although probably a bit higher than is normal for me. Any

Contrast dye allergy vs keyhole surgery.
Has anyone here managed to have successful keyhole heart surgery, despite being unable to have contrast dye for CT scan? Were their surgical team able to obtain clear imagery despite this issue? If so, are you willing to share how they did please?
