Apixaban
Does anyone have nausea from Apixaban. I feel sick every morning and get woken up by a pain in the middle of my lower ribs. I went to the doctors today and was given anti sickness tablets. I also take Bisoprolol.

Do you know what the Treatment Options for Arrhythmia are?
Arrhythmias are disorders of your heart’s electrical system whereby there is a change in the regular beat of your heart. Sometimes if the conduction pathway is damaged or becomes blocked, or if an extra pathway exists, the heart’s rhythm changes. The heart may beat too quickly (tachycardia), or too slowly

Insanely High PAC Burden
Still fighting with the PACs after my May 10th ablation for SVT. I finally got a Wellue 24 hour ECG recorder and the PAC burden is pretty impressive. I did two different 24 hour recordings and the first one was 44,677 PACs in a 24 hour period with 1,154 short runs of atrial tachycardia. The second

Pace and Ablate
I am scheduled for a pace and ablate procedure in October. I've been on multiple rhythm control drugs which sooner or later failed, including Tikosyn, had multiple cardiofversions, and one ablation which failed, I'm told because of my huge left atrium; so I wasn't offered any more ablations. All of

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) vs Heart Attack
It is easy to feel overwhelmed with the amount of ‘medical language’ being used when discussing a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). A sudden cardiac arrest and a heart attack are both emergency situations - you need to dial 999 in UK or 911 in US immediately. Please download our leaflet Sudden Cardiac

Hawthorn supplement helped
I have had paroxysmal AF for several years, but episodes were getting more frequent and lasting longer in the past year. I am a 53 yo female, slim build, never smoked, in good health otherwise. My mom had AF (tachycardia) for 40 yrs and my brother has V tach, so it's very much genetic. I saw the cardiologist

Recording AF with LBBB
I suffer from pAF and left bundle branch block. I would like to record an episode of AF on a personal ECG . I know many of you use Kardia but some reviews say it will not record AF if you have lbbb. I contacted Kardia and they confirmed it may record an af episode as unclassified. My Fitbit records
