Should I take aspirin 300 mgs at home if I think I may be having a stroke despite being on an anticoagulant for atrial fibrillation?
The chances of getting an NHS CT head scan quickly enough to decide whether it’s safe to give clot busting drugs aren’t so good at the moment. I think a cerebral embolus may still be more likely than a cerebral haemorrhage, so aspirin seems logical. Maybe I’ll ask my GP ….. I should say I’m not having

useful video from ‘my hero’ on atrial fibrillation and the different treatment methods used and when (including surgery)
an interview with steven hunter, cardio thoracic surgeon . I am now 8 months post surgery and still in NSR, hoping to follow in the shoes of the other once persistent mr Hunter patients on here who have been afib free for a long time. I wanted to share for those in persistent who don’t want to manage

GOING FORWARD
Yesterday I met with my EP for my two week follow up. The follow up is for my failed cardioversion. They tried three times to Shockett with no NSR. Yesterday was to be about what’s next. My body responds to things usually but does not stay for very long. I had a typical flutter up until two weeks ago

Dare I state that a homeopathic medicine stopped my AFib attacks!!!
How can a simple homeopathic medicine stop my AFib attacks that were getting more severe and much more prolonged prompting admissions to a+e, despite taking conventional medication to treat it? I myself cannot answer this question. In all honesty I don't think anyone on this site could answer it neither

Cardio training with Afib
I was diagnosed by a cardiologist with lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation three years ago. 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

What tests/treatment
Hi everyone. A new Year and a new member in UK Diagnosed with A Fib just before Christmas after my FitBit started sending me notifications at end of October. Had 24 hr ECG and condition is persistent. Under care of my GP but not on medication as considering blood thinners suggested by GP I am considering

Anyone BRCA opted for an elective mastectomy?
I have the dreaded appointment to discuss a potential double mastectomy on Thursday. (I'm BRCA2 and just reached 5 years with no recurrence so far.) I'm having a massive wobble I think caused by a c*ckup that now means any private medical recourse to PARP inhibitors is gone forever - A different story

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

Happy New Year - Afib and Covid 2023
Hi all. I know we've all heard enough about having afib and covid. I have to give my take on it though. I've never felt so happy - so here's a positive post about the whole thing of the two together. I've avoided the bullet so far. Tested positive this morning for covid. 5 days of self-isolation with

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
Wondering if anyone who has had a typical atrial flutter ablation has experienced flutter in the days/weeks following the ablation and how things eventually worked out? 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

New to Afib - how to describe symptoms?
Hello. I'm new to Afib (diagnosed Paroxysmal AF November) and new to the forum. It's wonderful to read all the support, care and information here - what a find! I'm awaiting a 7 day monitoring in Feb. Meanwhile doing my research and still have so many questions! Main symptoms at the moment are raised
