Hello, fellow AF/ectopics sojourners! I'm in Kentucky, new to HealthUnlocked. Had occasional vagally-mediated AF episodes for 10 yrs, but since covid started 2 yrs ago, I think stress/anxiety upped my episodes to weekly, and recently, every 3 days. I just started daily 12.5 mg metoprolol (2 days

Then my GP said I had asthma . I'm a woodwind player !

Any tips for getting rid of Plantar Fasciitis (a painful heel)? I have had it since September 21, probably caused by digging in inappropriate footwear, and although it's slowly getting better, it ain't gone yet.

Hi As someone with PAF, plus "secondary degree heart block and short sinus pauses" but fortunately with virtually no symptoms I am taking Apixaban and my cardiologist may well advise me to have a pacemaker fitted following a current seven day patch result in a few days time. So any advice/thoughts

I’ve had palpitations for years, however, the GP has never been able to trap them, in November I went for a routine ECG and was informed I was in AF, at long last it was trapped, I was so relieved as I was starting to think it was all imagined. I was sent to Ambulatory Care, another ECG, not in AF again

Hi Ive never posted before but have read the useful information shared by members so asking for advice and reassurance. I have Paroxymal AF and had a PVI cryo ablation on Monday. the first few days were as expected: bit breathless, missed beats, tired. I thought things were slowly improving until last

Good afternoon, I was diagnosed with Intermittent AF in January last year. I had my first episode in January 2021 and was Cardioverted.

Hi everyone I’ve been to see my cardiologist this morning Good news after having successful Cardioversion. My heart is better than before, no concerns. He told me to stop the Apixaban but I’m a little apprehensive, my chadsvads score is 1 (female) My weight as also dropped and I will continue on

I’m to stay on my meds, flecainide and bisoprolol and to go back if I get severe symptoms. They have said a resting heart rate of 130 is fine because I am haemodynamically stable. I am ( still

Hi, I have had PAF since 2014. I am lucky that I don't have many symptons apart from a slight thudding feeling in my chest and an irregular pulse. The episodes used to be monthly then I had 6 in a couple of weeks, but for the last 3 years they've been very intermittent for which I'm very grateful. An

I've had paroxysmal AF for around 3 years and my episodes are extremely erratic. I can go several months with nothing at all and then out of the blue, it'll happen every couple of weeks.

Woke up in a f on boxing day .The next day I suddenly felt dizzy which normally happens just before I go back into nsr only this time I fainted which has never happened before, I was only out for 3 or 4 seconds. Anyone else had this experience?
