Nuclear Stress Test in Chair was so easy.
Had the Nuclear Stress test in the apparatus similar to a dentist chair. It was a Lexi Scan with injection but did not have to lay flat and was less than half the time of the round donut looking machine. My cardiologist did not have the newer technology he wrote me a referral to go to a cardiologist

Arrhythmia anxieties pre-cardioversion

I had 48 hours on a holter monitor and this showed atrial flutter. I was

Can Anyone On This Forum Please Explain
I just got back a little ago from a few hours visit at my local VA Hospital. While I was there I went into AFIB and had an ekg done. The Dr. came in and said my heart rate was high but it's coming down. I told her I know because I have paroxysmal AFIB and she said you have Chronic AFIB. I told her I

Treating PVCS on a virtual ward
I have posted on here a number of times about the burden of persistent PVCs. Anyway, after 5 days of feeling very dizzy and nauseous, I went to see my GP. She sent me straight to my local hospital which is a big teaching hospital. I was seen in the Same Day Emergency Medicine unit who were thorough and

Surgical Castration ?
I have been on Eligard for two months. Prior to starting ADT my Triglycerides were 100 (May 2023). After only two months of Eligard they are thru the roof (495). Since I have metastatic PC they tell me that I will be on ADT for life. I am considering surgical orchiectomy since there are fewer metabolic

Heart rates in Afib and NSR
When I was on Sotalol for paroxysmal Afib my heart rate was typically in the range 70 to 125 when in Afib and 60 to 75 in NSR, as measured on my Kardia. For the last month I have been on Flecainide and Verapamil. There now seems to little difference between Afib and NSR heart rates both being in the

AF and Heart Parameters
I experienced AF first in 2012. It was recorded in Holter Monitoring. On medication since then. Holter Monitoring done once in a year. No episode recorded. Actually my episodes occur suddenly last for few seconds. ECG sometimes show tachycardia, Echocardiography is normal, TMT recent time is negative

Can too many ablations cause “stiff heart”?

2 months post ablation and frequent extrasystoles.
So I'm 2 months from my 1st ablation and supposed to now stop taking Flecainide but I seem to be permanently having extrasystoles, having hardly had them at all previously. They are fairly asymptomatic with me only sometimes feeling palpitations. I've also had a couple of Afib episodes but it's the sudden

Sinus rhythm with supraventricular ectopy.
Last December my Kardia mobile saw AFIB when I was sitting on a plane coming back from Egypt. It is not the first time, in fact there have been dozens of times when I have seen it. I went to the GP and he sent the kardia output to the cardiologist. Several cardiologists disagreed about the kardia

Cardiac Ablation Looks Successful!
I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal Afib in April of 2022. During my annual physical my PCP heard what he thought was a murmur, and called in a consult. After testing the afib was confirmed. I never noticed it, but started monitoring with a smartwatch and began to feel the episodes as they progressed. This

Lightheaded after AF episode
I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation in October 2021 and prescribed Edoxaban. Fortunately I have only been experiencing AF edisodes about once a month but when I do I find it very frightening. It’s probably the effect of passing so much urine but I find after the episode my blood pressure drops very
