Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
I caught a bad cold (tested negative for COVID) in November 2022 and on the day that started, I went into AFib. I wasn’t given any treatment because I was already on Warfarin due to my aortic valve replacement in March 2015. I finally saw a consultant about the AFib in May 2023 and was put on Isosorbide

Persistent and Permanent Atrial Fibrillation
Approximately one month ago I introduced myself to this forum. I greatly appreciated the warm welcome and the helpful responses I received to my post. I've returned with hopes of receiving some feedback from any members who have persistent or permanent Afib. I believe I've done as much research as

DC Cardioversion - Yes or No
For the last 18 months, my AF seems to have got worse, and I have suffered badly with a shortage of breath. I have had 2 lung function tests and 2 consultations with a Respiratory Consultant who has told me that my lungs are “normal”. I am on a very long list to see an NHS Cardiologist, and therefore

Cardioversion - 1 hour ago
Shout out to my local hospital and in particular ED team. I am posting via hospital bed in recovery. Presented to Caboolture Hospital QLD, Oz today at around midday today. PIP normally suffice to revert but after 2 days(Flec and Metropolol). I was in NSR but wasn't budging from 120 with a low blood pressure

A bit of clarity needed please!
Hi all, apologies before I start for another longer post, but I wonder if I might put my own Afib interpretation across to you folks for your opinions. I find myself with a constant need for clarification to my own individual situation and feel a lot of the general advice is not necessarily relevant

Cost of Eliquis (Apixaban) in the U.S.
I live in the U.S. and I have decided -- the decision can be debated elsewhere -- to take Eliquis, which is available outside the U.S. as a generic called apixaban. My Eliquis costs $314 for 30 pills. I could do a bit better pricewise at another pharmacy 50 miles away, with long, long lines. I pay

Coffee anyone?
Hi all, I came across several articles advocating that coffee consumption in the “right quantities” reduces symptoms of arrhythmia, for the common good thought I’d give it a go!

Echocardiogram
I had an echocardiogram last October and have had another one recently. I got a letter from my cardiologist with a copy of the results saying it was ok but he gave virtually no information about the progression of my heart failure and permanent afib. I took a photo of both echo results and uploaded them

From ectopics and SVTs to paroxysmal A fib
Nearly 40 years of ectopics and am now 75. Last couple of years started getting SVTs and probably AFib from then but only recently diagnosed after a 14 day monitor. I had been on Bisoprolol which wasn't helping much so have been switched to verapamil. 1st tablet today and it doesn't seem to be helping

PAF conversion pause on Wellue 24-hour AI monitor
I purchased a Wellue 24-hour AI monitor a few months ago - mainly to catch my conversion pauses on ECG as I wanted to know how long they were. Have had PAF since January 2019, and conversion pauses at least from 2021. From October last year I have had 8 AF episodes when I have been shaking as I converted
