Nebivolol problems
I'm struggling with trying to balance blood pressure and heart rate.I take 1.25 Nebivolol once a day but am finding it lowers my BP too much which is making me feel dizzy and light headed.Have tried stopping it for a day but then get tachycardia and AF. Anyone else had this problem?

Low blood pressure
I was diagnosed with AF in October ( now permanent but controlled)and heart failure in December(EF 32). I am now on Bisoprolol 2.5mg, Edoxaban60mg, Entresto24mg twice daily,and new one Spironolactone25g. My problem is that my already low BP plummets every time a new drug is introduced or an increase

AF for 4 days
I had my first episode of AF several years ago. I had another cope of episodes over a three or four year period. In January this year 2023 I was started on Apixaban but changed to Edoxaban a week ago because my blood pressure was low and I thought it was the reason for feeling tired. 4 days ago

Arrhythmia after open heart surgery - any others with similiar experiences?
Hi there, I'm new to this forum and looking forward to learning from you all. 8 weeks ago I had open heart surgey to correct a large atrial septal defect (hole in the heart). It was diagnosed at Christmas. Prior to this I had no cardiac symptoms at all - I was power lifting in the gym, cycling a 20km

Vitamin D and AF
Vitamin D has been studied extensively for its potential impact on
heart
health
, particularly its relationship with atrial fibrillation (AF). The findings are somewhat mixed, but several key points emerge from recent research: 1.

How long does it take to come around after coma?
Hi, My Dad has been in an induced coma for 11 days and then had a huge heart operation. They started to reduce his sedation day 4 post op, and he opened his eyes and blinked a little on command; then squeezed my Mums hand. They explained and they need to fit a trachi on Monday night, it’s now Wednesday

A cautionary Flecainide tale
Brief history, I had two ablations in 2019, the second one being in Sept. I'm currently 56 and like exercise. Since 2019 I stopped competing and training for triathlon and knocked everything back loads. Around Oct 21 I noticed arrhythmias, looking back on my notes it mostly seemed to start with atrial

HDT b1 PROTOCOL
Morning all, I joined today the 1st August 2023. This, because I recently stumbled across Daphne Bryan's YouTube video about her journey with the Costantini "method". That being superdosing of vitamin B1 thiamine. I was able to find ampoules of Thiamine in 50 and 100mg doses, and I have nurses readily

I do take vitamin K2 Question 2: Will statins do anything for my
heart
health
? A low cholesterol count doesn't mean less calcification as I understood and I am not sure statins will lower cholesterol levels.

Pills Can Cause More Problems
Here's my story: I've had AF for 18 years and have certainly suffered over that time. After 3 ablations and still having arrhythmia which included the following info copied from ECG July 2022 :

Pace and ablate for atrial tachycardia?
Just wondering..... The evidence here and elsewhere suggests that pace and ablate comprises a good option for many of those folks in later life who have very symptomatic persistent/permanent AF and for whom cardioversion no longer works. We also know that one or more ablations, whilst on the face of
