Shockwave Therapy By Chiropractor
I just went to a Chiropractor for treatment of agonizing pain in my upper back. He wants to treat me with shockwave therapy but I have concerns of this affecting my atrial fibrillation. I am presently only taking an anticoagulant, and no other meds for my AF. Has anyone had this type of treatment

My 40 day post-ablation update
I've replied to a few posts here but think this might be my first post. 40 days ago I a cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal AFib. Afterwards the EP told me I had 5 pulmonary veins and he estimated 80% chance of remission with first procedure. Since then: - I've only had AFib for 1 hour about 10 days

Vagal Afib
So I was diagnosed with Vagal Afib after several ED visits and having 4 cardioversions. My EP put me on Tikosyn which seemed to shorten the episodes. I am still in the paroxysmal Afib level. I do not drink alcohol or caffeine. Cut out sugar, eating late and stress. My doctor also told me he is suspecting

Lets talk Vagal AFib.
So others that have Vagal Afib, tell me about your journey and what has been helpful. I am on Tikosyn which shortens the episodes but I still get them. Recently when I am doing boot camps and my heart rate gets over 130. I pretty much had to find out my triggers and have not had a drop of wine or caffeine

Mirena coil experiences?
Does anyone have experience of a Mirena Coil with Hypothyroidism (esp. Hashimoto's)? I have very heavy periods, now on 100mcg Levo and feeling much improved. I'm 48 so very likely peri-menopausal too. Just had an appointment with the Womens' Health Nurse at our practice who suggested Mirena IUD as

Three weeks post ablation - slipped beats
Hi all. Had an ablation on Feb 9th. First two weeks were a breeze. Zero symptoms. On days 15 started getting skipped beats. Felt normal rhythm but the delay was hicupp/gurgling. Felt like frog was in my throat too. They don’t last long, usually less than 4 min. Goes back to normal sinus rhythm. Sometime

Atrial Fibulation from cancer treatment not standard Afib. Update post EP Consultation
Hello Everyone so as promised an update. I saw my EP on Friday. He explained that Afib usually occurs around certain sites in the left Atrium (? Is that the correct term) and these are the sites they target when doing an Ablation. He said when we do cryo we can't see where the electrical impulses are

Fluid after mastectomy
Fluid after mastectomy. Hi all. I had my surgery three weeks ago. I have some fluid which the Breast nurse assured me it’s normal. Feels as if I’m growing a new boob at the minute! But what I wondered is what everybody else has experienced? How long should I expect it to last for? I’m drinking lots

Palpitations versus Atrial Fibrillation ?
Over the years, I have had a number of Palpitations, which sometimes they keep me awake, and constant every few seconds. I recently bought myself a Kardia 6 lead ECG Monitor, so I could keep a watch on my heart rhythms, and if this would show up any problems needing looked at Over a few days, there

Starting on Flecainide
My history is that I was first diagnosed with AF in A & E in the early hours of the morning in November 2021 after a very hot curry and half a bottle of wine. I was prescribed anti coagulants and beta blockers. I had a brief reoccurrence in March 2022 but I went back into NSR as soon as they called

Ablation experience
It is now 48 hours since my ablation and I thought that others might like to know something of my experience. In the last 11 months I have had my gall bladder removed, a mastectomy and 2 cardioversions but this was the procedure that I was far most worried about. After 3 cardioversions, I have been in
