flutter not fibrillation
Hi all I have paid to see an EP (privately) today who has confirmed 100% I have atrial flutter and no fibrillation? Anyone else just have flutter? He has recommended an ablation to sort it out and told me to stop taking Flecainide which makes me nervous. He says it probably isn’t doing much and could

Sleep Apnea and afib
Greetings across the pond........I'm 81 and have been dealing with afib for 11years. I had my first ablation 2 weeks ago and was back in afib 4 days later. Today I had a cardioversion which was successful; and of course, I hope it lasts. The team who administered the procedure reported that sleep apnea

Exercise
I'm hoping someone can help me with the answer to this please. I have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and one of my main triggers is exercise. However, exercise is also recommended lose weight, get healthy and reduce episodes. How can I increase exercise if it's a trigger? I am even reading The AFib Cure

How long before ablation to start Edoxaban?
Morning all. There seems to have been a flurry of recent posts about anticoagulants. And here’s another question from me. Does anyone know how long before my ablation I need to take the Edoxaban I’ve been prescribed? I know some years ago, when preparing for a cardioversion, they said to take the anticoagulant

can heart function improve ?
After my husbands stroke seven months ago he was diagnosed with stage 2 heart failure . I asked the arrhythmia nurse if there was a chance he could have another eco cardiogram to see if this had improved because how do we know how much exercise is safe etc if we don’t know this ? She just sort of stared

24hr Holter
Hi, Recently started back on Bisoprolol for palpitations/PVCs after 7yrs off. I'm on low dose, 1.25mg but they've really calmed down what were pretty uncomfortable symptoms (3 A&E visits in one weekend!) Anyhow, have a holter monitor booked for next week and not sure whether to stop the Bisoprolol or

Bisoprolol
The only problem I ve encountered is with the specific AF tablet dihydrochloride etc. I have never encountered a problem with 10mg Bisoprolol. I m on Entresto Digoxin spironolactone apixaban and a number of others.

Experience with amiodarone
Hi, I have had 2 previous ablations for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and previously on flecainide bisoprolol pravastatin and apixaban. I have had episodes of AF and more recently atrial flutter. My arrhythmia nurse took me off flecainide because of the atrial flutter and put on solatol which didn’t

Afib induced Syncopy (collapse) any experience?
Hi, I was out gentle running, no exertion, proper warmup, and I had little notice of lightheadedness followed by an immediate collapse and out cold. I have had Afib diagnosed but have no feeling of my heart however it goes. I wasn't ill, dehydrated etc fully prepared for a light jog/run, I do mean

Sudden ‘Possible Afib’
In November last year, I had my third, very extensive and arduous ablation which also involved 3 cardioversions. I felt pretty rough for quite a while afterwards, much worse than the previous two, but I have enjoyed 10 weeks of blissful NSR. My heart rate has been 50 - 60 bpm and my EP has reduced my

Monitor for Afib
Hi all,Having gone into permanent Afib after a covid infection with no previous history I've had a cardioversion whist on amiodarone. As far as I'm aware I'm still in sinus rhythm and now off amiodarone (thank goodness). I'm on the waiting list for an ablation. My question is it worth getting some kind

afib and chest infection
hi. My afib has been steady for around 3 months (ie no episodes). My HR runs around 52-60. I’ve started with a chest infection yesterday (can remember feeling like this for a long time) I checked my afib via Apple Watch and although it says I’m in sinus rhythm my HR is low to mid 90’s. Could this
