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

Newly diagnosed and don't know what to do.
My A Fib began with a mild, pulsating feeling in my throat and it promoted me to take a manual pulse reading. It was then that I noticed my heart skipped every 6th beat or so, then it stopped in less than a minute. My bpm was not more the 70.Since then, I have had an ECG and I was stunned when they said

confused with kardia reading.?
hello you lovely people. The past 2 weeks Iv had ectopic beats every day all day apart from 1 day. 4 a minute at worst. But mainly 2 per minute. On feeling my pulse it’s been NSR but with a missed beat and a little thump so I thought must be ectopics. Dusted my kardia off tonight did 4 traces and

AF at night
hi, a brief history, I have Paroxysymal Attial fibrillation which started 2 and a half years ago. I had an ablation in December and since then I have had two episodes waking me up in the middle of the night which have lasted 40 and 20 minutes respectively and gone back into sinus rhythm without intervention

Stress test and Afib
Anyone with experience on a stress test with afib?When afib starts I can't breath. I've had several treadmill stress tests over the years. Just wondering if anyone has had an episode during stress rest.

Very Nervous of Flying ✈️
Hi folks, Was at the nurse having blood taken yesterday and she asked where had I been on holiday as I was a nice colour. I told her I wasn’t going until September but was heading for Rhodes. As my Afib had been mentioned she said ‘how are you feeling about flying’. I just looked at her and said why
