Latest Update to Here We Go Again
Underwent the "simple mastectomy" on Nov 1 on the right side. This is my third breast cancer surgery and sixth primary cancer overall. I was so discouraged to have cancer again and did not want the surgery, but it was the only rational option. Already have had so much radiation to the chest (lung cancer

Amazing
I just want to say that yesterday was an amazing day. We all have good and bad. My pacemaker was done on the 27th and I have had some good days and not so good. Yesterday I woke up really early and had energy all day. I walked with my dog around our property of almost an acre. A few weeks ago I could

First afib incident since dx 3 years ago
Have been taking Diltiazem 180 mg daily for 3 years without having any tachycardia till now. Days with HR 130-140 bpm. I think that it was caused by the stress due to the severe storm that caused many blowdowns (one on my house) loss of power, internet, and downed phone lines. Lots of worry, shoveling

My Home ECG reading? AF or Ectopics
As you may know from my recent posts Ive been having aweful time past 5 days with ectopics and palpitations. Ive been recording them and the photo attached is the typical of what Im having every minute of the day. I think overnight I went into sinus rhythm - I found a 2mg of Diazepam from years ago

Multi Vitamins
I am having a total gastrectomy in December and have been told that I will need to take a multi vitamin for the rest of my life, however the one the dietician recommended has vitamin K in it. Can anyone recommend a multi vitamin without this vitamin in that I can purchase in uk please. Many thanks

Whatever happened to the pill in the pocket?
I have had paroxysmal AF for 10 years. When it happens I never know what to do, especially as I live alone. If it goes on for more than about 12 hours I seek help from 111, they send the paramedics who do an ECG and confirm the problem, but by the time I get to A&E it stops! I have asked for advice on

post partum thyroiditis
Long story short(ish)- in October I had a baby, in December I was diagnosed with post partum thyroiditis with an over active thyroid(tsh <0.01) then levelled out a few weeks later before going underactive (tsh 11) around March time. My symptoms came as the results went out of range so even though they

Post Ablation AFib episodes .. frustrating
I had my Ablation about 3 1/2 months ago. I did not have any AFib recurrence that I'm aware of during the blanking period and was taking a beta blocker, a rhythm med, and anticoagulant. Was a bit rougher blanking than expected with early fever, regular headaches and low energy etc but no AFib! Hooray

Confused (like a lot of us!)
After an Afib episode when I ended up calling an ambulance, the cardio put me on Flecainide 2x50mg daily, without actually seeing me. It has worked (touch wood) and I no longer have Afib episodes. A friend who also discovered he had Afib was immediately sent for an ablation. My question is what makes

Atrial Flutter?
I had a very similar experience. About four weeks after my RF ablation my heart rate jumped from a very steady 60 to a very steady 135. ( I have an I CD that maintains my heart rate at 60) my EP called, said I was in atrial flutter, and did a cardioversion the next day to shock me back into a normal

where I’m at and what docs suggest
hello all I have occasional episodes of AFib up to 5 days a couple of times a year but have been having more shorter episodes for a few seconds or minutes at times, very occasionally at night when sleeping on my stomach. So a change. I take apixaban. My life is normal other than tiredness probably

WHOOPS
I just spoke with my doctors nurse and it shows you can always learn new things and you can also mess things up. Lol. I hadn’t mentioned much about being a little bit nervous regarding my new pacemaker. The past two days my heart rate has been up. I am set for 80. I have noticed, and I know that my

Atrial Tachycardia ablation coming up
I’m going in once again for another ablation. The 3rd one finally finished off the afib. But they couldn’t trigger the atrial tachycardia. Since it’s become even more frequent since the last ablation, I decided to give it another go. Dreading it even more than normal since our local hospital has stopped

Ablation Cardiologist London?
Hi all, I have been told I should have an ablation asap. Likely within three or so weeks. I have had Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter. If anyone is willing to share who they saw and outcome that would be much appreciated! I am still trying to absorb it all. I developed the afib and flutter

Prophylactics
Hi I have been on Acalabrutinib for two weeks now along with prophylactics, one being Co trimoxazole , which I seemed to react to. I have now been offered Pentamidine, which I have read up on and don’t like the sound of plus it does not sound as if it protects as well. Is anyone else on these drugs

Digoxin vs Pace & Ablate?
As some already know I’ve had a hard recovery since ablation on 23/11/22. HR was on the rise again slowly from then and the severe respiratory episode went on & on. Just coming to the end of what I think is maybe the 5th antibiotic course! I’ve now been on digoxin 125mcg since 28/2/22 and following

Bisoprolol to Sotalol
Hi everyone. I’ve been on 10 mgs of Bisoprolol for a year, having had the dose gradually increased since my diagnosis in 2017. This drug has served me well in lowering my heart rate when it has gone into Tachycardia territory. My cardiologist has said that if my Afib bothers me me more, then as I am
