Apixiban
Good morning all, For years I have taken Eliquis apixiban, 5mg twice a day, yesterday I collected my prescription, only opened it this morning & I have for the first time been given Teva apixiban, different brand, same dose. Have to admit, feeling a little nervous taking a different brand as I have

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

Esophagus pain after cardioversion
I had a cardioversion for AF a week ago, been in NSR since then. It was my second one this month, previous one was 2 weeks before that. Since this last cardioversion I have had mild-to-moderate esophagus pain and some stomach pain. I can tell the chest pain is esophageal and not heart because its

Amitriptyline and Atrial Fibrillation
I am currently not on any meds for Fibro but have just seen a Pain Consultant who has suggested a trial of 10mg Amitriptylene. He is aware that I have AFib for which I take a blood thinner but says this is a very low dose although he has said I should be cautious.Has anyone else had experience of taking

Mother's Day
Hey Everyone Now I know not everyone has a Mum or celebrates the day but I just wanted to share my experience It's Mother's Day on Sunday. Now this Mother's Day is significant for me for 2 reasons Firstly, well it's kinda obvious isn't it... Olive... I'm now a Mum (well Mum to be) Dan is treating

Song and Dance ?
I was thinking of the best way to celebrate my eight month anniversary since my WMM (Wolf Mini Maze) in Tokyo by Dr Ohtsuka at the NewHeart Watanabe Hospital. I am still in NSR (normal sinus rhythm) and my divorce from AFib is finalised. As our friend Jim knows, I went a little mad (as you do) when

Atrial Fibrillation medication
Hi, I’m not sure how to proceed here. I’m just hoping someone else feels as frustrated as I do. I was told when I was diagnosed with AF over a year ago that I would be able to live a normal life. It wouldn’t impact on me and everything would carry on as usual. I haven’t found that to be true. My irregular

Ablation for all types of AF?
I was reading a recent post - To 'ablate or not to ablate' by Tamgirl. Most responses were yes to ablation. I ask this question of everybody on each side of the fence. Do you know what type of AF you have? Your type of AF may have had a bearing on your decision to ablate or hold of on ablation. Vagal

What would you expect?
Hi Everyone, Just thought I’d ask here as the help I’ve received on here has been invaluable. Since my Cardioversion in Jan 2022 I have been in a sinus rhythm. I was originally told prior to the Cardioversion that if 6 months after I’m still in a sinus rhythm. I would be able to come off the edoxaban

Post ablation short of breath
I am 74 years old. I had a catheter ablation 3 days ago having been in permanent Afib for 5 months. I have suffered from asthma since childhood & have an FEV of a 90 year old, or so I'm told. Nevertheless I was 3 months trekking in Nepal recently (Nov to January this year), hiking to 5,400 metres and

A DNA test, a book and a diet - my AFib Eureka moment !
First I wanted to say what a fantastic group this is and just how much it has supported, reassured and lifted me on my Afib journey, it’s been invaluable I’m a 61 year old woman with paroxysmal lone Afib, possibly SVT too. My story in brief is that I was diagnosed 3 years ago after my Fitbit showed

PAF - move to PiP only
Hi Can anyone tell me of their experiences of moving from daily medication (Flecainide) to PiP only? Heart attack in 2019, out of the blue - fit & healthy. Investigations - no real culprit - eventually a few months later, after symptoms & further investigations, diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib. Basically

Two interesting articles
Here are links to two interesting articles. The first one details the benefits of exercise in preventing AF (it’s not clear if this applies to those who already have AF). The second-an older one which has been posted before but can probably stand repetition-details the negative effects of even small

What is Left Atrial Rhythm and is it related to Afib?
I have paroxysmal Afib, which appears to be well managed with Flecainide and Metoprolol. I am having an unrelated medical procedure next week so my anaesthetist sent me for an ECG, which I had to drop back to her office. After getting the ECG done by a nurse at my local GP's rooms, the nurse took the

Flecainide, Diltiazem and Shortness of Breath
Anyone get shortness of breath (SOB) from Flecainide and/or Diltiazem -- not right away, but months later? For the first six months on both drugs, I had no SOB. For the second six months I had SOB. Now that I stopped both drugs, it seems better. Could be a coincidence, but looking for group experiences

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
