My condition stabilized after being prescribed Flecainide, Apixaban and Rosuvastatin (the latter as a preventative to lower cholesterol). For the past two years I have been able to resume training in my single

Propranalol or Bisoprolol
I had Afib for the first time at the beginning of December …and was put on Apixaban. I will be having an echocardiogram scan in due course. In A&E the doctor told me to continue with my BP meds of Indapamide 2.5mg and Propranolol. I had an assessment two days later and another ECG …by then

body heat and buprenorphine
Hi, I have been using Buprenorphine patches for 4 weeks and was wondering whether body heat releases more opioids into the system. When I’m really warm I feel spacey and drowsy. Has anyone else experienced this?

Happy 2023, bravehearts! A question on vagus nerve involvement....
I know there's massive hype out there about the vagus nerve and the treatment of any number of ills through vagus stimulation and care. Nevertheless........Was wondering if anyone's had any success with one of those wearable devices for VNS and if, at this very early stage of AFib - diagnosed as Paroxysmal

Gp intervention
I have my AFib under control after being prescribed my meds by my heart consultant. I take Flecainide, Apixaban, & Propranolol which controls my a fib. However, I have just realised that my Gp has halved my propranolol dose without consultation! ( from 80 mg to 40 mg) I am due to have a medical review

Atrial Fibrillation.
Hi I have had atrial flutter followed by a atrial fibrillation for approx 4 years. Medication I have tried has not been helpful and I take only an anticoagulant every day. I have bouts of af, of which I am fully aware, approx 3-4 times a week, when the heart jumps between 37 and 167 for 2 to 4/5 hours

Paroxymal Atrial Fibrillation
I was diagnosed with paroxymal AF in 2017 I was given 1.25mg Bisoprolol to start with and then in time, I gravitated to 5mg. Since last month the af went out of sync, I am now on 7.5mg Bisoprolol and the increased dose has not been helping greatly. On the 14/11 I had to go to A&E as I had chest pain.

Flutter 7 Days after Typical Flutter Ablation

I had a right-side ablation for typical atrial flutter a week ago. Last night I had a 2-3 minute episode of what looks to be flutter

Monster Returns
Without provocation (no triggers), I startled awake in Afib which turned into tachycardia and has continued for 48 hours now. So after a respite of nine months from my FOURTH ablation [& coming off flecainide (due to left bundle block), but still on metoprolol ER, amlodipine, and Xarelto], I’m beginning

PAF to permanent AF
I was diagnosed with PAF some 10 years ago and for most of this time AF episodes have been brief and infrequent. In some cases only every few years and never lasting more than a few hours. However recently episodes have been more frequent and my latest ‘attack’ has now been going for 3 weeks. I take

New to Site after Shock Diagnosis of AF
I would like advice from those on the forum with similar experiences of the AF journey. I am newly diagnosed and feeling pretty scared. In particular I'd like to know how long it took most people to get the right meds and dosages. I was started on Bisoprolol 2.5mg but because I was still symptomatic
