Can anyone explain what this means?
Hi everyone I never really knew what my thyroid issue was because I was a teenager when it first started and firstly I can't remember that far back but also I imagine they spoke to my Mum rather than me. Later I assumed it had been Graves because I had a partial thyroidectomy. But I found this recently

What specialist do I see to remove Lipomas that are affecting my breathing?
I have lipomas that are blocking my lymphatic system in my scapula, shoulder near my armpit and it is causing me a lot of discomfort, swelling pressure, and labored breathing? Any help or advice is welcome. Thank you Nets67

Update on Cryoablation 3 weeks ago.
After being extremely nervous about the ablation I finally had it done and it really wasn't that big a deal. I was totally knocked out so do not remember anything and felt fine when I woke up. The next day I noticed my neck and chest/stomach area felt just a little sore, almost like I did too many sit-ups

Nightly Afib Now
I now get afib episode almost nightly, anytime from late evening through to early morning, always, always after eating in the evenings…… rest and digest are my triggers. I’m on 50mg Flecainide split as 25mg in the morning and 25mg in the evening. I also have 50 to 100mg as a pill in pocket to restore

Pacemaker for AFib
My Drug-resistant Symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation cannot be treated with catheter ablation, so I was recommended to get a dual-chamber Medtronic Azure XT pacemaker for treatment of AFib. Does anybody have experience with this PM?

Learning all the time
Hi All, As a relative newbie I have found this site so helpful in learning about AF but I do think it would be great to have a glossary of abbreviations for new members. SVT, PIP, CHAD etc were all alien to me although I now know what they stand for from posts where members clarify the meanings. Im

Rough Rough night
Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement for last night. I had a PVI for atrial arrhythmias 6 years ago and last night was one of the worse nights I’ve had since ablation. Things were going very well for last 3 years. Last night for some reason I developed so many PACs I think I was in a fib

Update on seeing Electrophysiologist - and fed up.
Hi All, I’m a bit fed up. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the fact I’d arranged a private appointment with an EP at my local hospital this week, as I was fed up with waiting for a follow up with my cardiologist which should have happened in January. I’m paroxysmal AF, formally diagnosed last September

Long term Bisoprolol side effects!
Dear all - I've been on a low dose of Bisoprolol (2.5mg) since November 2020 and have coped okay - no real complaints. I did notice tiredness towards the end of the day (16.00 onwards) but then at 64 I thought that might be just getting older. I'm struggling with my cycling as I simply do not have the

1 month out from RF ablation for asymptomatic afib
Hi. I was diagnosed with afib in late 2019 at age 66 and put on an anti-coag and sotalol. I was in and out of afib quite regularly but rarely symptomatic. Three cardioversions failed to restore normal sinus rhythm (NSR) for any real length of time, so ablations were suggested (I live in the US.) Since

Almost a year of NSR
Well, I nearly made a year.. Last night through, went back into AFib. Tried the things I’ve read to hopefully get out of it, but no good. Resting pulse of 159. Ambulance and cardioversion, which I’m so pleased to say worked and I’m home now. After my last electronic cardioversion I only stayed in NSR

Has anyone felt better on just T4 rather than T4/T3?
Hi. I am sorry to keep posting but I am now thinking about stopping T3. A quick summary. I was on T4 only for 20 years after a partial thyroidectomy and was actually pretty ok on it. I then saw an endo about 4 years ago for hyperparathyroidism caused by two parathyroid tumours. He said that he thought

Anyone reduced their dose of amiodarone?
I’m wondering what experiences any of you have had coming down from 200mg to 100mg amiodarone? I’m on 200mg at the moment and it controls my PAF and ectopics completely but it has also lowered my heart rate so much that I have postural hypotension type symptoms when I get up from sitting, go upstairs

Not sure about radioactive iodine- best way to get a second opinion?
Hi All, I had a partial thyroidectomy in approx 2005 when I was 12, removing a rapidly growing benign nodule on my right side. I've been fine for years, and my TSH levels have apparently been within normal range when tested since. However since 2017 my remaining side has rapidly grown, and I now have

AF & The perfect 🤩 storm ⛈
Well AFibbers I am sad (but still very grateful) that after 11 months AFIb free I had an episode last Monday. BUT….. I know why! I created the perfect AFIb storm. I stopped taking bisoprolol as a trial (agreed with cardio), within a few days I started a nutritional reset (cutting all the sugars I’d

Flecainide and Dilitiazem. What are your side effects?
Two weeks ago started taking 50mg of Flecainide twice a day plus 120mg of time release Dilitiazem once a day. First week a little rocky with several afib episodes and runs of ectopics (PACs and PVCs) that were terminated within 1-2 hours with an additional 50mg of Flecainide. Last week no episodes and

In a nightmare
Hi all, following my august ablation for PAF things had been going well. Then last Thursday I had severe Norovirus which ended with a hospital admission as I’d lost all recognition of family and surroundings and was treated for swelling in my brain. Woken by the nurse at 2am for obs and was back just

Ablation under general anesthesia with obstructive sleep apnea
Hi everybody, If someone has sleep apnea, is it it safe to undergo an RF Afib ablation under general anesthesia? Especially if the patient doesn’t have or use CPAP?

New diagnosis of metastasised breast cancer in lung.
In 2014 I had treatment for +++ ER stage 2 breast cancer including chemo, mastectomy, lymph clearance, radiation, Herceptin. Following pleurisy and a CT scan I’ve now been diagnosed with the same metastasised BC in my lung by the respiratory dept. I also have severe rib pain and numbness. I will see
