Is it a choice? Pacemaker v Implanted defibrillator?
Hi, it's #chinkoflight here with an update. Things are moving on. I'm in coronary care, and the evidence for my fainting whilst running story has now shown an arrthymia at the time of the fall, effectively stopping my heart functioning, leading to the drop in blood pressure and the syncope event. It's

Experience with amiodarone
Hi, I have had 2 previous ablations for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and previously on flecainide bisoprolol pravastatin and apixaban. I have had episodes of AF and more recently atrial flutter. My arrhythmia nurse took me off flecainide because of the atrial flutter and put on solatol which didn’t

Considering ablation
84 yo male(just turned) living is US. I have an appointment next week to discuss ablation. I had my heart CT last week. I have been on Eliquis for about 4 years, had afib around once every 3 or 4 months now more frequent weekly. I am a little concerned about having the procedure at my age and if

Afib induced Syncopy (collapse) any experience?
Hi, I was out gentle running, no exertion, proper warmup, and I had little notice of lightheadedness followed by an immediate collapse and out cold. I have had Afib diagnosed but have no feeling of my heart however it goes. I wasn't ill, dehydrated etc fully prepared for a light jog/run, I do mean

Advice for travelling with AFib
Hi guys! Tomorrow morning my better half and I are taking a 10 days trip to Morocco. It's a 3+ hours flight. I'm an PAfib-er since exactly 3 months ago. Currently only taking propafenone twice daily. I stopped with bisoprolol 5 days ago (1,25mg) to stop the dizziness and low hr and possible anxiety

mastectomy
Well my surgery went well,Only problem was as I expected low oxygen levels after the anesthetic. so glad I opted for Mastectomy-would never have coped with further operations and up to 18 months of treatment if I had opted for reconstruction..Only appts now are with a district nurse to check dressings

Sudden ‘Possible Afib’
In November last year, I had my third, very extensive and arduous ablation which also involved 3 cardioversions. I felt pretty rough for quite a while afterwards, much worse than the previous two, but I have enjoyed 10 weeks of blissful NSR. My heart rate has been 50 - 60 bpm and my EP has reduced my

Monitor for Afib
Hi all,Having gone into permanent Afib after a covid infection with no previous history I've had a cardioversion whist on amiodarone. As far as I'm aware I'm still in sinus rhythm and now off amiodarone (thank goodness). I'm on the waiting list for an ablation. My question is it worth getting some kind

afib and chest infection
hi. My afib has been steady for around 3 months (ie no episodes). My HR runs around 52-60. I’ve started with a chest infection yesterday (can remember feeling like this for a long time) I checked my afib via Apple Watch and although it says I’m in sinus rhythm my HR is low to mid 90’s. Could this

Atrial tachycardia and PAC burden and urgency of ablation question
So I finally found the report from my 14 day holter monitor and it showed a PAC burden of 4% and 141 episodes of atrial tachycardia originating from the pulmonary vein and the longest stretch being 30 beats (I guess that is what the EP meant when he said i was having mini afib episodes, maybe he was

Should have learned my lesson.
After my last ablation in December 2022, I had one afib episode 8 months later triggered by a hornet sting. After reading so many posts here about the dangers of food preservatives and eating too close to bedtime, I binged on snacks and pastries yesterday too far into the evening, and woke at 3:30 a.m

What to expect after stopping bisoprolol?
Hello. After a meet up with cardiologist, I was advised to stop the bisoprolol 1,25mg which I take daily. The reason I did a meet up is my daily anxiety, bradycardia (40s in rest) and dizziness. I need to continue with propafenone (anti arrhythmic) and currently waiting for an ablation date. My blood
