Ablation on Monday!
I recd a telephone call from Cardiology offering me an Ablation for Monday 26 Sept 2022. My husband advised me to take it, so I accepted the offer. I did query why I had been offered this so quickly as only diagnosed with Atrial Flutter in June 2022. Apparently it is due to the fact I am unable to

Excessive urination
Does anyone here suffer with excessive urination when having an afib episode,? I am very symptomatic and although I take sotalol and apixaban I still get some afib episodes (usuly 1 every 4 months). When this happens I am urinating every 10 mins or so and then when I come out of afib I can sleep most

Thyroid or AFib Symptom
I’ve been reading Greygoose advice to another member re discomfort in the neck possibly being Thyroid related. I have had discomfort - not pain as such - in the hollow in the front of my neck just above the clavicle. It feels like I’ve swallowed a golf ball! No swelling. I am in continuous AFib and

Ecg results
I had an ecg this morning and it said that my systolic reading was 88mmhg and my diastolic was 50mmhg. The nurse said that my blood pressure was a bit low 88/50mmhg. I don't know what will happen whether or not I will be put on medication or not. I am really worried. I just hope when I see the doctor

Skipped Beats
Well--I have written on this forum before and appreciate all the feedback about my heart palpitations, anxiety, skipped beats, etc. I have had them since I was 9 on and off and now I am 70. Went to the cardiologist in June and said I was "exceptionally fit". EKG, ECHO, Halter all good. I know exactly

ecg and low blood pressure

Ectopics/Possible Afib
Hi, hoping for some advice please. Was on PIP Bisoprolol 1.25mg for SVT and ectopics until cancer diagnosis in 2019, when I started taking Bisoprolol 1.25mg daily on doctor's insistence, upped to 2.5mg a year ago. Also on Amlodopine 5mg for BP. This has worked a treat and I completed surgery, chemo,

My cancer journey
Eight years ago I had a pain in the left breast which seemed to be inflamed. I thought it would settle but then wondered if the inflammation was because of a blockage somewhere - so off to see the doc who confirmed inflammation and gave me antibiotics. As I was leaving his room he said “I think I

Paroxysmal AF getting worse
I was diagnosed with PAF last spring and put on bisoprolol plus a blood thinner. The dosage of bisoprolol has since crept up to the maximum 10mg per day as the PAF has become more frequent and longer lasting. I have been struggling to get my GP to get me an appt with cardiology for a meds review and/

Trelstar
My urologist changed my eligard injections to Trelstar without my knowledge. It was given subq instead of IM as prescribed. Is that a problem?

Atrial Tachycardia
After two temporarily successful cardioversions (6 months af free each time) I had an ablation in May and all seemed to be going well. I remained happily in sinus rhythm for over three months until suddenly, out of the blue, my heart rate and blood pressure rocketed and I ended up in the Resus Department

My Story and I'm thinking someone can relate?
My AFIB story goes back several years. It first began back in 2008. I had been having "spells" that were mild and usually went away with rest. But then that stopped working and I ended up at a cardiologist's office. They did a chemically induced stress test and placed me on Betapace and diltiazem.

Slow pulse
Hi Folks, I've just been for my second part of the heart stress test as the consultant wanted to know if I could take flecainide whilst I wait for my appointment to get another ablation. The resting test was last week but today I was told (after the canula had gone in) that my pulse was too low.

Wrist blood pressure monitor
Hi all. I'm looking to buying a wrist blood pressure monitor. I was diagnosed with atrial flutter and had an ablation in May of this year and also have an irregular heartbeat which the EP says is normal for me. If you use a wrist monitor and can recommend a particular one that would be appreciated.

My cardiologist’s instructions on taking beta blockers
I’m in persistent AFib and awaiting my 2nd cardioversion. I too was only taking my beta blocker when my heart rate was raised significantly. WRONG! said the Cardiologist last week (he seemed exasperated) . Take it as prescribed because it will gradually build up a mechanism in your system which is working

can you help me
Hello everyone. I am reaching out because I need some help. I was diagnosed with Afib a month ago. I was given a prescription for Apixiban, which I take 2 x daily and also Metoprolo - to take as needed. I had to take the Metoprolo yesterday because my heart went up to 135 and was also irregular.

Bisoprolol
I have been on Bisoprolol 2,5mg for 10 years and during this time have been in Afib fairly regularly every 6 or so weeks. It usually lasts 12 - 24hours and then converts to NSR. In May I had Covid, and had 3 separate bouts of Afib within a period of approx 10 days. I increased the dosage to 5mg daily

Intermediate risk for Follicular Thyroid Cancer, is thyroidectomy right option?
Over a year ago, I was diagnosed with multinodular goitre, which then, according to ultrasound, were all benign. The consultant suggested having a total thyroidectomy on basis that the nodules were quite large (5cm, 4cm, 3cm), one module is pretty close to the trachea but is not currently compressing
