I was diagnosed with afib only one time during a routine checkup. It was never found again. I even bought an afib detector that I test myself 3x a day. I have never had any symptoms. With that said, I realize afib is a progressive type of issue. In view that I have great cholesterol numbers and nothing

Mastectomy questions
I am having a mastectomy in another 10 days on one side. with no reconstruction. Previously I had had a lumpectony, chemo and radiation 4 yrs ago, I'm just wondering how long the recovery period usually is and can you wear pullover shirts or do you need button down ones? Have people been restricted

Anyone have ablation for asymptomatic afib/aflutter?
Hi. I appreciate the great answers and support from my previous question on this forum. I know the main reason for ablation is to eiminate afib, improve QoL and hopefully get off of the meds. This may be a stupid question but are there many people with asymptomatic afib/aflutter and heartrate of 70-

Can heart pounding ectopics come with pulsating head pressure?
I am new here, but have already found the site to be very informative and helpful. For more than a year now, almost daily and usually at the end of the day, I have been experiencing pulsating head pressure and sometimes a sense of dizziness. The head pulsations often seem to sync with heart pounding

Pulse Oximeters to help/predict Afib?
Hi folks, Has anyone had any success with using one of these devices to reduce the number or duration of Afib episodes/symptoms. I am about to trial one to monitor my O2 and heartrate at nights because I feel that undiagnosed sleep apnoea (perhaps below the clinical definition) may be causing or contributing

15 month after my first ablation
Hello, I have been diagnosed with Afib in April 2020, and had an ablation on June 2020. It took me 9 months to fully recover - in NSR all the time but I had periods of dizziness and high hearth rate. I was a recreational trail runner before all started, running 50 miles per week, stopped running before

8 week update post ablation for paroxysmal afib .
Hi all, I had a call from cardiologist/ep last night. I have been sending in alivecor readings regularly to document afib recurrance. I have my follow up appointment next Thursday. So, 8.5 weeks out and I'm continuing to have symptomatic paroxysmal afib. 👎 In fairness, I was warned about the possibility

11 weeks after ablation …. HR, exercise and ectopics …..
65 yo, was doing triathlons <3 hours until AFib. Ablation 3 Aug. No AFib since. Resting HR was 60, 70 since ablation. HR would reach high 160s when exercising, before ablation - HR peaked at 168 doing the treadmill ramp stress ecg at which point AFib was imminent (pre stage). Since ablation I have

Returning to sinus rhythm
I have paroxysmal afib and usually go back to sinus rhythm within 20 hours maximum. This time I’m halfway through second day. Rates are not particularly high but go high if I do much. What do others do while waiting to reset? I know that progression is likely to mean more episodes like this. My normal

UK Government announce that supplies of Molnupiravir and Ritonavir against Covid 19 have been secured.
Thousands of vulnerable patients could be taking ground-breaking COVID-19 antivirals this winter after the government announced deals to secure 2 new treatments. These treatments should speed up recovery time for COVID-19 patients and the most vulnerable will be eligible first, including the elderly

Could my racing heart, trembling and energy rushes be linked to AF?
I suffer from paroxysmal AF and ectopic beats, but occasionally get a racing heart (fast (150), but regular), accompanied with an energy rush, need to urinate and trembling - does anyone else experience this, too? I can go for weeks without these symptoms, but, after they occur, I'm left with an increased

Back in good old AF!!
Bugger! After three weeks barring a couple of very minor relapses, I’m back in pounding AF! Started at 1.00AM and still fluttering away. This follows on from being stuck in it for eight days straight and 14 hours in A&E where they just dosed me up with Bisoprolol, checked bloods and BP etc. and packed

AF and sleep study -Cpap
I was told by the lead of he sleep study at NHS that there is a link with sleep apnea and AFib. She suggested to me that all people who suffer with AFib ask their GP to be referred for a sleep study.

Left Bundle Block complications.
Hi all. I have a friend in his 70s who has just had a pacemaker fitted for a heart arrhythmia......and been diagnosed with Left bundle block. He was absolutely fine up until recently, except he had been getting a few palpitations and then passed out briefly and hit his head on the floor. He is just

ablation - types and pacemaker
I found my way into this very helpful forum because I have experienced Afib following my 2nd ablation for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). It seems my SVT is gone, but it might have been replaced by afib. I think afib ablation is more complex than SVT ablation, takes longer to perform and also has

Back home from Ablation
Morning all, I got home late last night from from my cryo ablation at St Barts. They gave me transport to and from as I was struggling with that aspect which was brilliant. Had a bit of an issue with low blood pressure afterwards but I do tend to suffer with fairly low blood pressure anyway. I don’t

Pill in pocket
Look forward to comments. Seems my cardiologist wants to cover all the bases (more medications = better protection). GP agreed I should try coming off flecainide. Taking Xarelto blood thinner to be safe. Use Apple Watch and take ECG readings at every opportunity. Five days ago I went off flecainide
