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

aspirin
good morning š I came home yesterday after a mitral valve repair on Monday. Iāve only just read through all my discharge letters, as I was not ready to plough through it all yesterday. They explained to me I had to take aspirin every day now for the rest of my life, in the letter they say itās for

I need some information and help
I am reaching out again to you wonderful people. Can you tell me if irregular heartbeat usually below 100, sometimes a bit over for five minutes is also atrial fibrillation. Are they the same thing I would like to understand - how this works. I have now had irregular heart beat that I can feel

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 :
Atrial flutter with variable AV block with premature ventricular or aberrantly conducted complexes[

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

Heart failure
Saw cardiologist in March. He asked me who told me I had heart failure, I told him he had told me five years ago and yearly ever since. I saw him before my valve replacement. He said he wasn't sure I had heart failure. Sent for battery of tests and then got letter saying I have heart failure with

Cold water!
I went swimming for the first time yesterday since my diagnosis of PAF 18 months ago. I'm on holiday in France at the moment. It was an outdoor pool and it's hot here so the water felt really cold. I went in waist deep and then ducked under. I swam for a few metres then realised I was in AF. I guess

Tachycardia
Hi. After six months clear of af it suddenly came back last month. It seems to bother me every day since. Iām on Bisoprolol 10 and flecainide 50.x 2. Also became tachycardic. Spoke to gp who agreed I could increase flecainide to 2 x 100. Made me very breathless so reduced it again. Iām mostly tachycardic

A question please
I had had bouts of Afib ranging on average of 12-18 hours a time for many years. I then had one of 55 hours 5 years ago. Then it was back to the usual pattern. Suddenly Iām into another long one? I have always self converted and never been to hospital, except twice in 18 years and that was with chest

Are people with recent mechanical valve and aorta replacement, considered vulnerable during heat waves?
Currently in Europe where there is an ongoing heatwave. Surgery just under 3 months ago. I can't see mechanical valve on the list for vulnerable groups during heatwaves. Just checking to see if I am correct in assuming that I should be as careful and sensible as every other person who has not had major
