Experiences with

Heart block

Hi all, as someone diagnosed with Paroxysmal AF, treated with Bisoprolol and Apixaban I was wondering what others experiences are when on the cusp of going into AF, for me for no apparent reason I feel a flutter in the chest then my heart increases to somewhere around 200 BPM for a few seconds then settles

I am a 70 year old active fit Canadian male who was diagnosed with lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation about five years ago. After my initial diagnosis by a cardiologist I was prescribed flecainide, apixaban, and rosuvastatin. The flecainide has kept me free from afib symptoms for more than four years

Had P&A last Tuesday. Went very smoothly. Doc did the a/v node ablation through the pacemaker chest opening instead of through the groin. So there is only a single wound that needs to heal. They used some sort of new-fangled surgical glue, so I don't even have obvious external stitches or bandages and

I have a question for you all. My situation is a bit different as I do not have Afib, but have been dealing with Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia with PACs for two years. I have had increasing amounts of PACs and runs of SVT in the range of 20-35,000 PACs a day (800-2500 per hour)and 800-1500 runs of short

Hi everyone, just had a letter following a 24 hour holter monitor I had on the 10th of August, this was 4 months post PVI ablation. I would be grateful for anyone's opinion as I am a bit of a worrier and the tachycardia bit bothered me. How can your heart go fast for 3 seconds and be recorded. Here is

Do you or a family member ever experience unexplained chest pain, a rapid or irregular pulse, breathlessness, or light-headedness? These are all symptoms that should not be ignored and could be the early-warning signs of an underlying heart rhythm disorder. For further guidance, download the 'Arrhythmia

I sent one of my Kardia results off for a Clinician Review ( from Alivecor ) It was a ‘Sinus Rythmn with Supraventricular Ectopic’ reading that I wanted confirmed, as I am beginning to think all my SVEs could in fact be Afib ! Anyway, I just got the result which stated : Atrial Tachycardia. Can anyone

Apixaban & Bisoprolol - Does anyone else get a dry mouth while on these? Guess it maybe because I tend to breath harder through my mouth due to the breathlessness caused by the Bisoprolol?😤

I am day 3 on Apixaban plus day 5 on Bisoprolol for persistent AF - my calves are tingling after starting Apixaban no pain or redness - has anyone else had this?

Lately I’m having increased episodes of PVCs ? or PACs ? that often turn into hours of tachycardia—regular-looking rhythm but fast (Kardia), usually under 120 bpm. I’ve done all the intervention strategies and more often than not, they don’t make a bit of difference to get me back into normal rhythm

I have PAF but for 2 years I have had 1 episode (after long haul flight & jet lag). Then on 8 August, & since, I have had trigenimy PAC & I am now noticing a few AF short episodes thrown in along with some normal sinus rhythm (not much normal SR). The PACs feel permanent 😤 & are very unpleasant. I

Arrhythmias are heart rhythm disorders of your heart’s electrical system, whereby there is a change in the regular beat of your heart, causing it to beat irregularly. Sometimes if the conduction pathway is damaged or becomes blocked, or if an extra pathway exists, the heart’s rhythm changes. For more

I recently posted about problems dealing with the side effects of apixaban, mainly lightheadedness and dizziness. I saw my cardiologist today and he changed it to rivaroxaban 20 mg once a day. In reading about the side effects of this drug, I see that it causes "serious bleeding" among other things,

I was admitted to A&E last week. This was my third episode of AF. Unfortunately this time I did not return to sinus rhythm. I am now home but still in AF, 4 days later. I have been prescribed 1.25 mg of Bisprolol twice a day as I have a low resting heart rate. I feel so tired but anxious about the way

I see such a variety of meds for afib. I wonder if people will disclose what they are taking, maybe in this format. I've given mine. I see such a variation in meds, mainly in quantity of rate-control drugs, such as Eliquis (apixaban). I wonder about country, because it seems to me that people in U.K

Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Paroxysmal AF. Drug regime includes, Apixaban, Bisoprolol, and Liptor. I have been given Flecainide in case of need but I am concerned about some of the side effects so have not used it so far. My question is about experiences with Bisoprolol. I was originally

We finally have PFA in the USA after watching, envious of Europe, for three year. We still don’t have it everywhere, but some premier hospitals provide it. It’s safer, faster, and so far shows better results. I am four days post procedure, drove four hours each way, and had afib, atypical aflutter
