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

Newly diagnosed with CLL and wondering what tests to request.
Hi all, I didn't feel well after partial thyroidectomy. Had some teats and was told I have cll. Was told just to watch and be retested every three months. I was tested for CBC and differential. From reading some of these posts, it looks like there is a genetic test available. I have my first appt.

What would you do?
i have occasional bouts of Afib, i guess a couple a year which is not too bad comparing my problem to others. What's worst is my sleeping patterns, very erratic and disrupted. I asked my doctor for somthing to relax me and help me cope at night. Now here's the thing, i am on 80mg of Sotolol twice a day

I'm a Newbie and a Breast Cancer Survivor 😊
Hi everybody! I am a firm believer in the power of peer groups and I am sooo happy I found you! I was just diagnosed in late April and had a modified radical mastectomy (aka double mastectomy) May 25th of this year. With an absolute belief in faith and with the grace God, I think I've sailed through

Cardiac Care
Hi there ! Is everyone with A/F supposed to have access to have a cardiologist or access to an A/F nurse? I was diagnosed with A/F in 2011 and have not seen a cardiologist since. I paid for a private consultation with an EP who was keen for an ablation - I was not at that time - and I haven’t

Update
I diagnosed with Flutter end of June 22 after a couple of trips to A&E. prescribed Edoxaban 30mg with Bisosporol 2.5 daily reduced to 1.25 mg daily as I already have low BP. Episodes of possible Flutter are happening at least once a week. I do have etopics apparently and one ECG showed narrow tachycardia
