Uncertain about Amiodarone and cardioversion
I've been in AF since mid November 2022 having previously had only the odd episode of no more than 6 hours. All started after the C virus vaccine and then after the boosters. I consulted a private EP and he has prescribed Amiodarone followed by cardioversion. Presumably that will lead on to ablation

Anxiety and A-Fib
I had anxiety over getting a Cochlear Implant done. I was taking Atarax on top of Zyrtec which causes QT Elongation. So I was diagnosed with AFIB and sent to the ER. Prescribed Metoprolol and a 81 mg aspirin. I didn't take the Metoprolol because it was on a Recall list by the FDA for 3 months as it

An interesting thought
I have had Afib paroxysmal on and off for 10 years. I now take 2.5 mg Bisoprolol each morning and have since had no Afib attacks or wobbles. However, my Apple watch always says I have Afib, and any time I have an ECG it says I have Afib. Yet I appear fit as a flea, can do manual jobs and work, etc

pacemaker and a fib
I have had paroxysmal A Fib since 2001. In recent times I developed sick sinus syndrome and long pauses. In March this year I was given a dual chamber pacemaker. I have had no A Fib episodes since until this morning when I woke up with it thumping away. Disappointing but I suppose it had to happen

ECG Flappy gaps?
Hi awesome people, This is an ECG taken on my iWatch on waking this morning - still laying flat in bed. I’m currently in yet [i]another[/i] Amiodarone-suppressed episode of PAF. Currently approx 36 hours. At least the Amio is keeping the heart rate lower, but I seem to be getting more episodes

A-Fid
5 years ago I was rushed to hospital with 100 lbs of fuild in my chest, around my lungs, heart, stomach and just rest all over me. I was diagnosed with A Fid. I am on Eliquis, beta blockers, lasix. In 5 years never had another episode. Could have been the fluid?

Is flecainide a good drug?
I have been very low profile of late because I had nearly two years free of AF - then it came back last Wednesday with a vengeance and refused to go away... This resulted in a trip to the doctor's and then A&E on Thursday because the rate was quite high, blipping up to 150+ bpm. To cut a long story

Afib and heart failure
Does afib always lead to heart failure?I have just had a medication review with a specialist who works with our GP surgery and doctors. He claims that any afib present leads to heart failure between 1 and 20% in the early stages. This is frightening. My afib episodes are very symptomatic and come around

Advice on upcoming holiday
Hi everyone, I am looking for advice.I have paroxysmal afib with episodes coming roughly every 4 months (I've never yet discovered the trigger and my EP says I probably never will). Anyway, I am extremely symptomatic with heart rate jumping between 80 ish to 150 ish lasting around 30 hours before reverting

Newly Diagnosed Afib
Hi all, I greatly appreciate finding this forum. This is mostly just an introduction. I am 55, in pretty good health, and wigged out by the diagnosis. I had 2 episodes in 2019, I thought they were dehydration and too much Soda, so I worked to make sure that did not happen again. I had 3 episodes

Post EP Ablation
I went into AF after getting sick from food poisoning/belly bug in early Feb23. I stayed in AF and had shortness of breath after being released from hospital. I was put on Diltiazem at that time. I saw my heart dr early Mar23. Then a week later I saw my heart rhythm dr. He put me on Propafenone

recently told I have possible heart failure
I have multiple issues: asthma,
atrial
fibrillation
(
permanent
), underactive thyroid. I am on apixaban blood thinners. This last year I have had a rather bloody uti followed in May by bleeding from my colon when I lost a considerable amount of blood, so I am now deficient in iron.

Mis-Information on Internet. BE CAREFUL
I have had afib for 30+ years now and I should know better. I googled afib and dark chocolate which I know is a NO_NO as it has always caused me to go into afib, but I was reading a study from a supposed Dr. who said dark chocolate can help prevent afib episodes. I knew this to be not true but guess

multaq
Hello, I am posting this for my mother. She has Afib and her doctor prescribed Multaq and she finally started taking it. She thinks it is making her feel dizzy. Has anyone had this side effect? My mom is very sensitive to medications. Thank you in advanced.
