Permanent AF and A flutter but rate control reasonable but permanent erratic rhythm AF is this something you can live ?
I have a
pacemaker
to control bradycardia and sinus pauses which is great, but the rhythm is so erratic and permanent, my consultants were going to have a discussion with me about having AV node ablation.

Am I OK to take decongestant powders or tablets?
I have AF, have a
pacemaker
and take daily Bisoprolol and Flecainide tablets. I also suffer a lot from sinus congestion. I tried to buy some Lemsip at my local pharmacy but they said I shouldn't use these if I have AF. Is this correct? If so, what can I use instead?

Pacemaker to stop AF?
Did anyone here have a special
pacemaker
implanted to stop AF episodes quickly and did it work? I do NOT mean the normal
pacemaker
implanted after AV node ablation. Would be grateful for information.

Pacemaker implanted.
After 2 years of considering it, I finally had my
pacemaker
implanted yesterday. Have to stay a couple of days at the hospital as the medicines and machine learn to work together. Looking forward to a new and peaceful rhythm now!

Tens machine
Good Morning, Could i ask if using a tens is considered safe if you have Afib.I know that it is not recommended if you have any implants like
pacemaker
etc, but if not, is it O.K. for relieving muscle pain?

Oligometastatic PCa - There’s Hope!!
(Also had a
pacemaker
installed a few months ago - the radiation apparently caused some issues with my heart rate not going above 108 bpm. Highly recommend Cleveland Clinic for heart issues.) That brings me to today. Just left my doctor’s office and I am officially starting my ADT holiday today!

Bisoprolol
I had a CRT
pacemaker
fitted 6 weeks ago. One week after the procedure I was started on a low dose of Bisoprolol. Over the next 4 weeks this dose as increased 4 times up to my present dose. I noticed that on the lower dose I started to feel lightheaded and at times a little dizzy.

Pacemaker for AF
I’m 87 years of age, with AF and a fast heart rate not adequately controlled by Bisoprolol 5mg twice a day. After a catheter ablation which was successful for a few months I’ve been offered a pace and ablate procedure at LHCH Liverpool. Will I have better energy, no light headedness. Or breathlessness

Pacemaker, finally, in 3 weeks
They have finally decided on implanting a
pacemaker
in early Jan. I'm terrified and relieved in the same breath. Any experience with the surgery? Any tips on making it easier? Thank you in advance!
