A question please
I had had bouts of Afib ranging on average of 12-18 hours a time for many years. I then had one of 55 hours 5 years ago. Then it was back to the usual pattern. Suddenly I’m into another long one? I have always self converted and never been to hospital, except twice in 18 years and that was with chest

Boston Scientific I/v cardioverter) defibrillator question
Hi looking for first experiences of having the above device fitted. I'm one week on from the implant and the soreness from the operation is settling down. I am still sleeping on my right side which is fine. But when I am lying flat the box starts firing off, I guess in cardioverter mode. It's set

Proper Drug for My Wife and Efficacy of an Ablation
For the past 40 days, my 77-year-old, relatively fit wife has been in and out of AFib — but mostly in. She’s had three trips to the hospital during this period, because her heart rate had been in the 120-150 range for several hours each time. On her first hospital visit, she was given Diltiazem and

Is it bad for you to just wait out an Afib spisode.
Over the last month I went into Afib 6+ times. The first one lasted about 12 hours. The next 3 I ended up in emergency and they had to cardiovert me. The 5th time lasted 24 hours. The 6th time, however, lasted 5 days. But I was so fed up with sitting in emergency for 12 hours and getting my chest blasted

Day 46 in hospital and finally discharged
Well as promised an update and outcome of sorts. Day 46 in my local hospital CCU, up at 5.00am for an early prep for an op. I was first admitted on January 27th following a syncope (collapse) while running at myocal Parkrun. 3 days later a ventricular tachycardia was picked up on my implanted loop

Good resources regarding vagal AFIB?
Does anyone have any good resources (articles, YouTube videos) directed to vagally-mediated AFIB (the type that occurs after a large meal or while sleeping)? I believe my AFIB was triggered by endurance athletics (I used to do long bike rides and probably overdid it and stressed my body too much).

Amiodarona- I’ve been on it a week and feel very shaky, almost like tremors inside. Just wondering if I should continue with it ?
I am on holiday in Spain had a bad AFib attack with RVR ended up in intensive care. Long story short they put me on Amiodarona and I’m feeling very fatigued still (8 days after discharge) and very shaky. Thinking about coming off the drug since I really don’t feel good on it - thought at first it was

bradycardia interrupting sleep
I’m waking up during the night with low heart rate 42-48 bpm and a feeling that my heart is labouring. This is usually twice in the night and I often can’t get back to sleep after 4.00am. I think sleeping on my back doesn’t help ( I try not to) and my other half tells me I snore. Tried all the sleep

Eligard for me= poison
When getting Eligard shots after prostatectomy and radiation it was holding PSA level down. It also turned my thoughts angry and disgruntled. Doctor Larock from Mattapoisett is treating me with Flutamide and Bicalutimide 1 pill day each. Thanks Jesus I can write this and feel pretty good for 75. Eligard

Flecainide
I had a recent AFIB episode on Sunday. This was the first time I would take Flecainide PIP, and the EP wanted me to take it at the ER. He prescribed me 50 mg. I am on 180 mg of Extended Release Diltiazem. The attending ER doctor did not think 50 mg would make a difference (he said it should be 200
