Do you want to know more about.. Bradycardia?
Bradycardia is a term that describes a number of different conditions in which the heart beats at an unusually slow rate. If impulses are sent from the sinoatrial node at a slow rate, or if the impulses are delayed as they travel through the conduction system, the heartbeat will be slow. For further

CBD Gummy Bears
Has anyone used the CBD Gummy Bears 10mg for sleep, mild pain relief etc. I am trying to find out any interactions with medication. They seem to be ok with Flecainide but cannot find anything to do with Apixaban. Found a slight caution with warfarin but not anything to do with the newer anticoagulants

Atrial Fibrillation Checklist
Do you or a family member 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

Update on wide QRS Kardia reading
Well the arrhythmia team finally got back to me yesterday. As far as they can tell from the ECG I sent them they can see a delay in the transmission of electrical signals from the ventricles to the atrium causing my symptoms. It feels like ectopics but the rhythm is normal . They have advised me to get

Post ablation Atrial tachycardia/or Aflutter and AF.
Hi all, I had a cryoblation PVI just under five weeks ago at Basildon Hospital and all had been good, unti last night when I tried to get to sleep. I have been told I have a mixture of AF, Atrial Tachycardia and Aflutter during my episodes. Leading up to the procedure, I had to point this out to the

Sinus rhythm with Supraventricular Ectopics???? What the heck??
This started yesterday, double beats, off and on, going into normal sinus rhythm without double beats. I also broke out into a sweat the first time. I took a couple of Kardia readings (which I will attempt to post here). I woke up with Normal Sinus Rhythm with ectopics (those double beats). I take

John Radcliffe waiting times for surgery
Hi. I’m waiting for heart surgery valve repair (hopefully) at Oxford Radcliffe. Been waiting 4 months. No idea of when they will get round to me. Get very vague responses. Anyone else on a list at the JR waiting longer than this? Thanks

starting home dialysis
Hi. I am 49 years old. I am getting the catheter put in my stomach in 2 weeks, so that I can do the home dialysis. Is it called PD? I forget what it's called. But it's the one I do when I'm sleeping. I feel like there is just no support or help to prepare for this. My insurance has some place

Flecainide and SVTs/Ectopic burden
Hello Everyone I wrote a Post here last March as we were worried about the choices being offered to my Husband for the management of his PAF (anticoagulant, pacemaker, ablation). Many of you kindly answered our questions and gave us the benefit of your experience and my Husband felt pretty confident

Pulse field abation
Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before but just wondering about those who have had pulse field ablation. How did you feel afterwards? Recovery time? And most importantly, did it work? Last question, if it did won’t - how was your AF before it? I’ve had one failed cardioversion, 4 failed ablations

Open Heart Surgery Ahead…
Born with a bicuspid valve, I guessed this day was coming…just not so soon! I will be 56 when they open my chest on August 15th. I would much rather have the TAVR procedure but at my age the long term planning doesn’t support that method at this time. So, OHD it is. I have significant procedural anxiety

Can Afib turn into an irregular heart beat instead ?
Hi All The reason I say this is that I do not get elevated beats per minute I am always in the range of 75 to 95 Yet my watch still says I have AF and when my pulse is taken it is irregular So I wonder if there are different types of AFib ? Otherwise feel 100% ok I am on anti-rat apixaban and

Am I supposed to take this in the morning?
In an email with my Electro-physiologist today, he referred to my continuing to take the long acting metoprolol (metoprolol succinate, 25mg once a day) in the morning. In the past, I’ve taken it in the morning, and as my personal schedule changed, I am taking it now in the late evening. No matter

Breathlessness- pollen or something else?
I just wanted to ask if anyone else has been experiencing more breathlessness with the weather change. My mum has Permanent AF with heart failure. She’s had bisoprolol increased in February this year from 3.75mg once a day to the same dose twice a day. We had a GP appointment last week which I asked

Amiadarone side effects
I have been on Amiadarone and a whole host of other drugs since late February, when I had cardiogenic shock followed by a cardiac arrest. In the past few weeks I have developed a blocked tear duct with bleeding from it, and a very nasty, lumpy, red and sore-feeling rash on my hands and lower arms which
