Why the rush to have an ablation?
In my twelve years living with Afib, every Cardiologist I have seen ( including an EP I saw, for a second opinion ) have told me, that Ablation should only be a last resort. My first Cardiologist in Florida, going so far as to say " do you really want them to burn holes in your heart?" So I am curious

Has anyone had problems with Flecainide not working?
Hi everyone. I am hoping someone can suggest my next course of action. I was diagnosed with paroxymal atrial fibrillation last November and was prescribed Sotalol (40mg twice daily). For the next 8 months (monitoring with a Kardia device and an Omron BP monitor), I detected episodes of AFib every few

Curious to hear from anyone using an Apple Watch ECG app to monitor afib. On mine I can get a reading saying afib and then immediately measure again and get sinus. I recently started taking Dofetilide, so maybe the medication is helping to resolve afib episodes. Any thoughts on how accurate Apple Watch

AV Node Ablation and Pacemaker
Hi lovely people, I promised I’d get back to you after seeing a cardiologist/electrophysiologist privately. As you might guess from the title, this is what he believes will solve my problem. I will still be in persistent Afib, but won’t feel it. In the meantime he has doubled my digoxin dose and I will

Arrhythmia and Afib are they the same ?
my cardiologist tells me i have severe arrhythmia and will need to take anti coagulants indefinitely; i also had my pprolapsed mitral valve replaced 3 years ago, whether one or other of these conditions existed first is not known. Other than warfarin I take Ezetrol to lower cholesterol. I have no idea

Pulse Field ablation.

Failed first ablation, dilt + Carvedilol= bad orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia, 15-20lb wt gain
First episode of PAF occured 2019 2 mos after wife diagnosed w cancer, my cardiologist thinks not coincidental. (My myasthenia gravis was also dx 2019, but had sx for 3-4yrs) Later, Dec 2022, afib episodes much more frequent, lasting longer when she was worsening despite chemotherapy w terrible side

Possible hypothyroidism, No Thyroid and on 50mg Levo since Nov 22
Hi I've recently joined and very interested to see so many interesting posts. I wanted to ask if others with no thyroid are on such a low dose of Levothyroxine. In 2014 following a thyroidectomy I was started on 150mg and have been reduced steadily down and am now on 50mg as my TSH each time reduces

Beta blockers fit an overactive thyroid
I have been taking cardicor 1.25 mg for years to help with my overactive thyroid that flares up now and then. Having had the right lobe removed 6 years ago due to neck pressure, I am now facing a complete thyroidectomy because the left lobe had grown so big that it causes swallowing problems. I have

Dofetilide
I have afib and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy along with a history of 3 ablations and 7 cardioversions. I recently started taking Dofetilitde after the required 3 day hospital stay. IT is now 10 day later and I still have passing epidodes of afib. I am interested to hear about anyone else on defetilide

Distended stomach & abdomen after ablation
Bit of a strange one this, so thought I'd ask if anyone else has had a similar experience and a diagnosis. I had my 2nd catheter ablation 4 days ago under Gen Aanaesthetic; the ablation, plus cardioversion, seems to have gone well (allowing for it being very early days) and the groin wound is healing

Humidity and AF
Hi all. Here in SW England we’ve had such heavy, humid weather the past few days. Does anyone else struggle with more breathlessness and fatigue in these conditions? I have persistent AFib and normally get a bit puffed, but this seems twice the normal load, Not to mention the havoc it has caused with

Update on post ablation - day 6
Hi. Well after posting such a positive message to try to cheer up anyone waiting for their first ablation, I came back down to earth with a bump. I felt so well on Wednesday (ablation on Tuesday) that I did everything I felt like doing but at about 01.30, I got a full-blown AF episode which I wasn't

flecainide and eliquis
flecainide was prescribed 50 mg bid when afib episodes became more frequent when taking pill in the pocket. eliquis was also started then 6 months ago. Haven't had any afib episodes since taking flecainide bid. Before asking cardiologist, is eliquis ordinarily continued for the elderly when there are

How quickly do tablets work?
Day 1 of taking 2.5mg of bisoprolol and 60mg edoxaban...how quickly should the tablets start to work? Monitoring blood pressure and worried if the dosage is too high

Sotalol Drug Load
Scheduled to shift from Metoprolol and Diltiazem to Sotalol this next week. Choice of yet another ablation (6th one) was given but I figured, “why keep scarring up my heart?” Did I make the right decision? Seems to me ablations aren’t working and they just manage to damage my heart, albeit in a controlled

Hypo/Hyperthyroidism compared to Menopause symptoms
I've just been reading an article in Saturdays Telegraph on someones story on the Menopause. Having passed through the menopause many years ago, I was reminded of the affect it had on my life at that time. Having forgotten quite a few of the symptoms, I realise that having had a total thyroidectomy
