New diagnosis of metastasised breast cancer in lung.

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

Stroke on Apixaban
I was taking Apixaban for paroxysmal AF after a catheter ablation several years ago, which mostly cured me of the debilitating bouts of AF which I was suffering. The paroxysmal AF was hard for me to notice but detected by a monitor, and 'self terminating', so I declined Flecainide as I didn't fancy

I'm on Firmagon once a month and it's working fine. The only problem is that I feel like garbage for 2 or 3 days after the shot. Is there any difference in effectiveness if I had a 6 month shot of Lupron or Eligard?

Raised heart rate on amiodorome

BACK INTO SINUS RHYTHM WITH A METRONOME
I have had paroximal atrial fibrillation for seven years, probably once a month, with HR around 150 for many hours. Over the years I have experimented all possible methods for stopping AF, including electrical tragus stimulation, slow breathing, alternate nostril breathing, swallowing big mouthfuls

Pacemaker
Ive just had a 48 hour monitor which showed all afib all day and night low heart rate 40s 30s plus tachycardia several times my cardiologist stopped metoprolol weeks ago and now wants to stop diltiazem but wouldn't you think he would suggest a pacemaker? Had all drugs plus 3 ablations

I jinxed myself 3 months after ablation with EP Doc yesterday!
Im a newbie and retired paramedic here. After years of meds for paroxysmal afib which I have had 10 years I finally had to be cardioverted after an unusual 36 hour afib episode in ER. I am always bradycardic my entire life of 60 years running in the 40's. But 3 months ago HR was up in 220-240. It dropped

AFib causes BP to skyrocket

Lisinopril and Lipitor
I have high blood pressure and Afib. I had an MRI on my brain and the doctor found I have had a couple of strokes. Thankfully they made my left side numb, but nothing more. I take 20mg of lisinopril a day and 80mg of Lipitor. I am continually nauseated, and my leg muscles are weak. I feel off balance

Life after watchman.
I was diagnosed with AFIB in January 2020. After taking eliquis for Two years I decided to have the watchman implant because of all the easy bruising and the expense of the eliquis. Am interested in knowing how others have done with the implant. It’s been four days since I got the watchman and today

Amiodorone.
I am looking for some advice on taking Amiodorone. I had a cardioversion a year ago that worked well for 6 months. Since then I have been in AF. No tachycardia, just an irregular heartbeat. It makes me feel unwell and short of breath. My cardiologist has suggested trying the cardioversion again but

30 Day Cardiac Monitor
I just got a 30 day event monitor put on today, and was just wondering anyone’s experience with it. What were your outcomes? What did it find. I had 24 hr holter monitor in the past, but of course nothing really happened to record anything, besides tachycardia. I also had a echocardiogram today. I was

Slow Afib
Anyone have any experience of this not sure if it exists even. Reason I'm asking is I'm noticing my pulse rate is fluctuating between 40 BPM and 75 BPM. When I check my Kardiamobile device it says possible afib even though the pulse rate is showing at around 40 BPM. How do I know if its bradycardia or

High Heart Rate!! What should I do?
Hi all for the past two days my HR reading have been high 120 when just sitting down but it goes higher if I get up and move around. Last night I had to take my dog out which was a bit of a challenge, could hardly walk, restricted breathing due to tightness in chest and distorted vision in left eye.
