A question about diltiazem.
It is 4 am here in the US. I went into AFIB about 3am. Pulse ranges from 60 bpm to 126bpm. I took 50 mg flecainide at 3 am. Cardiologist said to take that if my heart rate was over 100 bpm. I take 120 mg of diltiazem every morning at 8 am. Do you know if 120 mg is as much as you should take in

Calcitonin a cure for A.F.
A hormone that helps keep our bones strong could be a powerful new treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), the UK’s most common heart rhythm disorder, researchers from the University of Oxford said in November. In the 1.4 million Britons with AF, the electrical impulses in the heart’s upper chambers

AFib, exercise and meds
I was diagnosed with symptomatic persistent AF about 18 months ago. I had one cardio version but only stayed in NSR for 24 hours. After a decline and short stay in hospital, I was put on bisoprolol and amiodarone which has kept me in sinus rhythm for the last year with only a couple of minor AF episodes

Anti-arrhythmic drugs after ablation
I have had 3 ablations. Ten months post third ablation, I tried to stop, cold turkey, Propafenone 300mg x 2. I lasted 6 days before going back into AF for 4 1/2 hours. Recently at one year and ten months, I tried to wean (not cold turkey this time) myself off now a lower dose, Propafenone 150 x 2

Break in Avastin
HI Everyone Has anyone got any thoughts or experience of a break in their Avastin cycle... Briefly I had my 4th infusion on 4th December 2020 then found out I need a mastectomy on 19th January for a stage 3 breast and lymph node cancer. My 2 cancers are unrelated apparently. So... After healing I think

Provera tablets while waiting for laprascopy
I started provera tablets a couple weeks ago, hot sweats and some other side effects seem to have settled last two days but mood is dipping. Pain hasn’t changed. I wonder how long it took for others to have any impact? Considering private laparoscopic surgery as on NHS waiting list but it’s understandably

More ectopics!
So I had bad run of ectopics that started a couple of years ago... got everything checked countless times... ECG monitors, 24hr tape etc and even an ultrasound. Confirmed ectopics but was told they’re harmless. They’ve started up again and feeling loads every day and still making me feel very anxious

Permanent Afib and alcohol
I’m in permanent Afib and don’t appear to have any food or drink triggers that I know of making my symptoms worse. Once lockdown eases and I’m allowed friends in the garden to visit for a few drinks, how much can I safely drink in one nigh? I usually have lower alcohol wine. I want to enjoy life

AF and Autoimmune disease, hypothyroidism
What came first, the chicken or the egg? Anyone else have similar underlying conditions? Two and a half weeks ago I had first ablation. I stayed in sinus rhythm for 11 days and back in a fib. Had a cardio version and hope to stay in NSR. Have been researching a lot about underactive thyroid, (or

Bisoprolol
Have been on 5mg twice per day for months now as well as Degoxin and Enestra ? Fell a bit tired during the day at times and don’t sleep like I used to. But it’s got my heart rate down to around 70bpm and blood pressure 105/85 so medication doing it’s job but all these medications have side effects

Has anyone experienced Afib/Ecoptics when you're watching something intense like an action movie or speaking about something with emotion?
I notice that my Afib or ectopics always happen not when i'm exercising or active but when I'm sitting down and thinking, watching something or talkin to someone with "emotional intensity" plus I'm very tired. I guess that could be the triggers then right? Like high tide emotional intensity which causes

Rate control strategy
Does anyone just take a fast acting metoprolol or Diltiazam when they go into AFIB, vs. taking a slow release 24 hour dose every single day. It almost seems my AFIB comes on easier when my heart rate and blood pressure is in the low range. Thanks!

Compression socks
Evening! In the past I have suffered from episodes of passing out and my EP believed it’s as a result of the drop in blood pressure rather than Heart rate and possibly not linked to reverting into sinus and vice versa. I suffer from PAF and am on 2.5mg bisoprolol and flecainide (50mg am and 100mg pm

8 day post Circumcision
I am day 8 post circumsicion & vasectomy. General swelling has gone down but I still get a lot of sharp stinging pains from the frenulum area and the stiches there. Sometimes when I pee and that area gets wet it really stings. Is this normal and to be expected? I've followed post OP care as instructed

AHI on CPAP - Relation to ectopics/Afib
Sleep Apnea folks on CPAP,...Have you observed a relationship between your overnight AHI and your burden of Ectopics and/or Afib the next day? I have mild/borderline Sleep Apnea, apparently only while on my back. I am limited to a pressure of 6.5 due to severe Aerophagia (Swallowing air/gas). I've

Gall bladder removal
Hello I have an 8mm polyp in my gall bladder as wel as tiny gallstones. My latest ultrasound a few days ago noted that surgery could be an option soon. I have no symptoms but the polyp has to be removed. Has anyone had a laparoscopic surgery of this type and what was your experience?

Scans and Ultrasounds and Biopsys
Hi, just asking for a little advice Thyroiditis flared up again (it happens almost annually). My GP scanned and did bloods - bloods were normal as usual (sigh) but scans showed that my nodes have grown and changed. He sent me to a new endo after the anti-inflams made no difference. Endo wants to
