I’m getting worse
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

A few ECG questions for the wise ones! Kardia versus wellvue for my situation?
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

Survivor tattoo
Hi Just thought I’d share my first tattoo with you, following my heart bypass on 18/01/23. The good part is that the area on my chest still has no feeling following the surgery.

Arrhythmias: Understanding your condition
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

Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) vs apixaban
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,

AF ongoing
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

Independent article: Scientists reveal best time to take high blood pressure tablets
Today’s Independent has an article, with the same title as the header, which reports that scientists have shown conclusively that taking blood pressure medication in the evening is no better than taking it in the morning to protect against heart attack, stroke, heart failure or death. Worth a read.

3 weeks post triple heart bypass
After the initial shock of needing a bypass after a heart attack, I was discharged from hospital having what felt like the sweats and palpitations in my chest, neck and back, reassuringly the ECG at hospital was normal. It turned out I had a chest infection, meaning I spent another week in hospital

Survey?
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

Repatha - is anyone on it?
hi everyone, I have asked this in Cholesterol but no one has responded as yet. Has anyone taken or been offered Repatha? If so, how did you get on? I have paroxysmal AF, and stable angina. My cholesterol is high, (though I have lowered it naturally) and I’ve now been prescribed Repatha as I can

AF medication and bradycardia
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

Repatha - your views
hello everyone, I’ve been asked to take repatha as I can’t tolerate statins. Has anyone had experience of Repatha? I am a bit fearful of injecting myself with a drug. I try to keep well with exercise, diet, and supplements. However, I do have AF and stable angina and seem to be getting AFib episodes

Another Update - and not good news!
I have just spent another 10 days in hospital whilst they have been trying to get my HR under 100 - nothing working so far - they have let me out with many drugs in the hope that bed rest and the drugswill bring it down. Unfortunately I have also been diagnosed with Stage 3 heart failure. I am hugely

what about PFA in Uk
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

heart surgery cancelled
Hi, my husband has been waiting for mitral valve repair since last December. After chasing, he was offered a date for surgery at the end of July. That was cancelled the day he was due to be admitted. The week after, he was gowned up and ready to go when it was cancelled. The following week, he got a
