Ablation Booked
So a week on Sunday, heading into the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for my ablation for the PAF. Not too anxious bearing in mind I had the same procedure over three years ago to fix the flutter and then three weeks later, the catheter cardioversion to fix the fibrillation triggered by the original procedure

Importance of Blood Testing
Diagnosed with afib in Feb '21, taking .50gm of metoprolol to control heart rate. Recent blood test revealed glucose increased from 100 to 140 likely caused by metoprolol. Cardiologist currently considering other medications. (prior glucose readings were always below 110). Would encourage all to

Why continue warfarin?
Will I be okay to go off warfarin and switch back to taking 2 low dose aspirin daily? My cardiologist just shrugged and said he can't make me continue warfarin. I believe my diagnosis of AFib was erroneous.

Gum disease link to AFib and Ortner’s syndrome
Dear Community, I know that this may only apply to a small number of people, but even if it just helps one person then it’s worth me sharing! This is my theory, although it was also the opinion of the ENT consultant. Due to covid, I missed dental and hygienist appointments, I then had periodontal disease

Experience with Lynparza?
First off, thanks to all the amazing women in this community. I have learned so much about the disease and the amazing stories of courage and perseverance. Very inspiring. This is my first post, I apologize in advance if I ramble. It is my 84 year old father dealing with MBC and I am along for the ride

Medicinal experiences
Hi all Following all the recent conversations about various meds people are being prescribed I thought I would add my experiences to the mix. Might be helpful. I was diagnosed with osteopenia several years ago and put on bisphosphonates. These eventually caused a hiatus hernia so I stopped taking them

A little disheartened!
So I'd rather keep things positive but I suppose I can only be honest! Its 7 weeks since ablation for afib. Before ablation I was symptomatic during afib (shortness of breath,dizzy and palpitations and sweating) but when it self terminated after a while I was generally fine. And could excersise generally

Evista to prevent recurrence of IDC?
I am 4 months after bilateral mastectomy for invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Have had 25 radiation treatments. Now considering Letrozole vs Tamoxifen vs Evista. Don't like the side effects of Letrozole or Tamoxifen. I favor Evista due to recent diagnosis of osteopenia. Has anyone else had experience

After a cardio version what things should you avoid doing in relation to exercise or every day stuff? To reduce risk of returning to AFib?
Post HA, arrest and a stent ( which put me into continuous AFib) 3 months ago Saw arrhythmia specialist yesterday and will have 1st cardio version in about 4 weeks. I was very fit and used to exercise before this lot. I’m now in slow lane at swimming and get breathless walking to quickly or up a small

Non-standard Ibrance schedule
Hi everyone, Great forum and so happy I found it! I was diagnosed with MBC in my liver last summer, 19+ years after initial diagnosis Stage IIB, bilateral mastectomy, chemo, and radiation. WTF??? I had surgery to remove tumor and have no other mets that they can find . Anyway, started Ibrance in October

Upgraded from paroxysmal afib into pafib…. Deep joy! Update, update!!
After eight straight days of continuous afib and one day in A&E, I converted back to NSR earlier this afternoon! To say I’m relieved would be an understatement but I’m now paranoid about flipping back at anytime. This really is a most horrid condition! My burning question now is, do I carry on taking

Flecainide with Afib and LBBB?
Hello, In a bid to stop me going into Afib my electrophysiologist has stopped my very low dose of bisop for what I think says Diltiazen ER and flecainide 100mg bd. I was previously told by my cardiologist I should not take flecainide due to my LBBB. I did mention this to the EP, who said my heart function

Vagal Nerve stimulation
Has anyone explored ways of stimulating the vagal nerve as a way of preventing AF as seems to be responsible for possibly the majority of Afib triggers? Wouldn't it be great if just like a pacemaker we could have a vagal nerve implant to give it a jolt when it's thinking of doing it's dirty work!!!

Upgraded from paroxysmal afib into persistent afib…. Deep joy!
Well, following on from my previous post about longest time in afib with pafib. After five days stuck in afib I gave up trying to sit it out and went to A&E hoping they’d zap me out of it, apparently not as I’d waited too long? I was in hospital for 12 hours, 8 of which was spent on a bench in a corridor

Secondly, as my hubby has vasectomy n his sperms are already with the clinic. But the clinic told me that his sperms are not good for iui. Can someone solve

Vasectomy and ICSI
Morning ladies I'm looking for any personal experiences of vasectomy and ICSI. My current partner had a vasectomy over 10 years ago in his previous marriage. We've used donor sperm for the last few rounds of IVF - initially because I started IVF as a single woman after my marriage collapsed because

Are there any natural supplements really worth taking for AFib? There’s so many claims out there.
Been in permanent AFib since stemi, cardiac arrest and stent fitted 2 months ago. Not obese never smoked exercised hard 4 times a week. Curious about supplements but also curious about medical treatments of cardiac version and ablation as I’m seeing arythmia nurse to discuss options next week. Any info

Paroxysmal Afib, longest episode before seeking help?
I’ve P-Afib and usually get an episode once a month or so usually lasting anywhere between an hour and 24 hours? My GP’s approach is a “pill in pocket” when I feel my heart racing and I take a 1.25mg Bisoprolol tablet which brings my heart rate down a little but obviously does nothing for the irregular
