loop recorder
I am being asked by an EP/ cardiologist to have them implant a loop recorder to monitor my heart for an extended period of time. This recorder will be recording continuous EKG readings that is transmitted to the treating cardiologist . It is expected that this will allow for better diagnosis and treatment

Flecainide
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with AF in April after 4 years of episodes ( 2-7 hours long) that were never captured on ECG. I was given Flecainide 50mg pill in the pocket when I have an episode. Despite losing 10% of my body weight, avoiding big meals especially late and cutting out alcohol, I just had

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

Leaky Heart Valve and various symptoms
Pleased to have found this group. I recently saw my GP about some loud, intrusive tinnitus. I've had tinnitus for years but this was more severe and a bit worrying. She thought it might be pulsatile and sent me for an ECG, which revealed an anomaly. I then had an echocardiogram, which revealed a leaky

Severe palputations...explanation?
Hi. I am 56 years old with a history of SVT, low blood pressure, and night time panic attacks causing a very fast heart beat. I have been on a low dose of bisoprolol for several years now which has largely managed my symptoms. However after getting severe anxiety upon menopause, I started HRT and Sertraline

heart rate / calcium channel blockers
Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask but at the end of May I had an episode of vasovagal syncope and was diagnosed with pernicious anemia, which I was then medicated for. I continued to have fainting episodes and was then diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension. My heart rate rises by 50bpm

Kardia. An alternate way to use it.
I think Kardia is a great home device and own four of their models. However, from experience and after reading many posts here, it seems that how you use Kardia can often be the difference between it being helpful device that helps diagnose and manage arrhythmia's, and a device that causes more stress
