A-Flutter Ablation Success
How many have had an a-flutter ablation and it lasted? My doctor made it sound like its one and done for a long time to come but the more I read, the more it makes me think it's just temporary and a way of life to have to keep going in or then possibly have to get another one for Afib very soon after

New shooting pain in left breast
So today I have another strange new symptom - quick shooting pain from my left side across/through my left breast. Its happened 3 times today and each time its been about 6 quick pains then went away, all times I have been relaxed and at rest. I have done an ECG on my Apple Watch, checked my heart

Cox maze: anyone had this procedure?
Hi all just booked for a private consult with cardiothoraticic surgeon in northwest, hopefully for Cox maze procedure for afib. Was in a+e for 14 hours yesterday on monitors...sent me home, still in AFib. Long story, but bit by bit I am finding out that treatment for my AFib is very limited due to other

I am back again sorry if I wrote this last night.
almost a month ago I had a cardioversion and it was amazing. I have been dealing with a heart rate in the 150s since the end of April. When I woke up from the CV it was 82. I actually had a smile as I awoke. I did not even know my heart rate was down yet so maybe it was the drugs lol but I felt happier

Metoprolol
I have a CT angiogram tomorrow at 0830 and have been given two tablets of Metoprolol (50mg) to take 12 hrs and then 2hrs before the procedure. This is apparently to slow the heart down (to below 60bpm). I rang the hospital and told them that I already take Sotalol and my heart rate is generally slow

Was there a trigger for your symptoms Mine was likely the death of a loved one 🥹
my symptoms all started after the death of my dad at the end of 2019 - I first started to take them ‘seriously ‘ in feb / March 2020 . Although the diagnostic process was long - as most of you will know - the consultant felt it was likely that this Emotional trauma was my trigger . Just wondered

Advice please
Since starting on the steroid journey I have experienced palpitations and high blood pressure. The palpitations were controlled by beta blockers and since reducing the steroid dose my blood pressure is back to normal. However my heart rate is not! I’ve reduced the beta blockers because my pulse was

Sleep Disruption
Hi all, I hope you all have been well!! I’ve been having problems sleeping lately and was wondering if anyone had similar issues or advice. I normally have very bizarre dreams and these dreams cause my heart rate to spike drastically while I’m sleeping, so much so that I’ll wake up and I cannot get my

update / nurse
hi all, well had chat with nurse today and she said my bisoprolol was such a low dose it was not helping me, so going back on my evening one and if that doesn’t help up the flecainide. It’s not what I wanted. All my problems are coming from my left atrium, the rest of my heart is ok so she said. I asked

Post Ablation breathing difficulties
Hi all! So, I’m 11 weeks post my (first ablation) and I seem to be one of the lucky ones with zero Afib symptoms since the procedure. Long may it last! But I’ve been having breathing issues ever since the op and wanted to know if others have been in a similar position? Generally my chest just feels

Never Ending
I was only diagnosed a week ago, after a weekend of being in AFib, went to the ER. Confirmed. It's been non stop ever since. I am now on Xarelto and Metoprolol 50 x2 a day. NO relief. Most of my ECG readings show heart rate around 130-140. BP mostly ok--a bit high, but not awful. I find myself

AF taking a different direction??
Had an AF attack yesterday and it was terminated after 3 hours with my PIP 200 mg Flecainide and half a metoprolol tablet. This is about average and I have attacks every 7 to 10 days. After a few hours rest I went for a walk but didn’t feel great, lethargic and generally off par. I kept checking my apple

Third episode of persistent AF in 6 months
I had a successful cardioversion on Christmas eve and then another one just 4 weeks ago. Gutted because I went into persistent AF again yesterday. I take Edoxaban and have tried to take Flecainide but it makes me dizzy and very sick. I tried the "pill in pocket " yesterday but it did not work.

Pacemaker risky
I wonder if anyone else out there has had a double mastectomy? I qualify for a pacemaker (ef 38) but my Cardiologist thinks it’s a bit dodgy as I have no lymph glands under my arms now. The risk is infection. Since I haven’t seen my Cardiologist for 3 years because of Covid I suppose he can’t be too

Can you have thyroiditis with normal lab results?
I started getting a very painful front of neck about 7 weeks ago that was affecting one side but now has spread to the other side. It's not particularly visable but feels swollen to touch. During this time I started with palpitations that seem to get worse during the night and affect my sleep. I have

Hi, 50 year old female with persistent AFib, diagnosed in July 2022. Seen cardiologist last week, I'm for cardioversion in next few weeks and he has said he will see me again early next year and suggests he will take me off meds and that's me done. I have been looking at other posts online and it suggests
