Ablation
My husband had an ablation 11 days ago, he is 74. He has had persistent Afib for years. Doesn’t feel it at all. The Ablation has left him feeling terrible. He is terribly sore, fatigued, can’t sleep. He is so disappointed and according to our home devices he is still out of rhythm. We know it takes

skip beats
I take 100mg of Flecainide twice daily which is controlling my A-Fib so far but every couple of weeks I get a couple of hours of skipped beats. Just wondering if anyone else has skipped beats. I had my ablation 6 weeks ago for Atrial Flutter not sure whether I will do a second ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

2nd Ablation
I had a catheter ablation for atrial flutter which was successful unfortunately I also have A-Fib. My doctor does not think a 2nd ablation would help and believes my A-Fib can be treated with Flecainide which so far has controlled my A-Fib. Just looking for thoughts from anyone who may be in the same

Bisoprolol fumarate with possible AF and raised blood pressure
I was perscribed 1.25mg Bisoprolol fumarate due to possible AF and raised blood pressure. My blood pressure at the surgery was 150/91 with heart rate of 80. I have been taking Bisoprolol fumarate for 7 days. I purchased my own blood pressure monitor, made by Omron. Unfortunately I didn't buy the monitor

Will I develop AFib if I have sleep apnea?
Does being diagnosed with sleep apnea automatically mean I will have AFib? Super anxious here. I’m 19 and awaiting on a sleep apnea test in July. Don’t know how long I have it but do recall episodes of shallow breathing when I was younger.

What does Afib feel like
This might sound daft but I don't really know what it feels like. What I feel now is very different to what I felt prior to my diagnosis and pacemaker fitted. My heart rate and ecg when checked has been fine, at pacemaker clinic they said I'd had 2 small episodes of Afib, which I didn't feel. I have

Newly diagnosed. Is this normal?
Hi all, Apologies for long post but I’m worried. Recently diagnosed with afib after trip to A&E. was already on waiting list to see cardiologist (9 month wait!) due to suspected afib. I’m currently wearing a 48 hour monitor to assess what’s going on. At the moment I have several episodes of afib every

PICC line tips?
Hi lovely people! I’m 5 weeks post mastectomy and sentinel node removal for DCIS and 2 invasive ductal cancer tumours; both hormone receptor positive, one HER2 positive and the other HER2 negative. I start chemo at the beginning of May. The surgeon said no radiotherapy but my oncologist has since said

Anyone that has been diagnosed in their 20s/30s with afib?
Hey! It seems like quite a big community here so I hope you don’t mind me asking (and sorry for my any mistakes - not a native English speaker). Is here anyone who has been diagnosed with afib as a young adult? My boyfriend showed the first symptoms of afib around the age of 25. We didn’t know back then

Lupus and cancer
Oncologist was brilliant had done a lot of research into cancer with APS and Lupus. Opted for mastectomy to try and avoid having to have Chemo or Radiotherapy. He agreed it was better to avoid them if at all possible. Hopefully nothing shows up in Lymph nodes!

Partial Thyroidectomy/Sjogrens
Hi I had a partial thyroidectomy in 2012 and I have gained about 4 stone. I have not felt well for years, always tired, continuously trying to lose weight and in pain. I also have been diagnosed in 2019 with Sjogrens Syndrome. My thyroid tests always come back in the ok bracket. Any help would be appreciated

AV Node Ablation
80 years old in Sept and still plagued by afib. Pacemaker fitted in May 2021 and awaiting next step which I’m sure will be AV node ablation – last stop saloon! But is this the only option? The last ablation in 2013 lasted 5 years and possibly longer if severe Mitral regurgitation hadn’t triggered it.

Turmeric instead of a blood thinner?
Hi all, wondering if there’s anyone out there who has moved off of using prescription blood thinners in favor of “natural “ remedies such as turmeric? I see on the internet a lot of warnings not to use turmeric while on a blood thinner, but no mention of going the other way ‘round , which seems like
