A long wait but finally got there I think
Hi everyone I'm back after months of trying to get answers but still slightly confused with the fev1. So after my last post last year I did have my hiatus hernia investigation and I'm happy to say I will be having key hole surgery because I have gerd aswell and its going up as far as my clavicle I.e

My 40 day post-ablation update
I've replied to a few posts here but think this might be my first post. 40 days ago I a cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal AFib. Afterwards the EP told me I had 5 pulmonary veins and he estimated 80% chance of remission with first procedure. Since then: - I've only had AFib for 1 hour about 10 days

ectopic beats
hi I’m 18 years old and I have always been in perfect health until around 2 years ago when I got covid for the first time, around 7-8 months after having covid i started experiencing rapid heart rate upon standing and suspect I have POTS but my beta blockers help massively in keeping my heart rate down

vagal AF
I am certain that my AF is vagal by nature as I notice PVCs particularly when I have indigestion and bloating. Has anyone with a similar profile found ways to calm the excited vagal nerve and thereby reduced symptoms? It's well over a year since I had an episode of full on AF lasting about 30 minutes

PFT stats question
According to my PFT test, my FEV1/FVC is decreased at 64%. My Dr. said this is mild COPD but from what I have read it indicates moderate COPD. Does anyone know if the criteria will change due to our age and that is why it might be considered mild?

COPD advice
I have recently had my copd review with the nurse and a first Spiromatary test in 4 years. Four years ago my reading was FEV1 76% and now its FEV1 47% so I was shocked. I have had a recent virus infection doing the rounds but this does seem to be very different readings. I have asked to be re-tested

PVCs, PAF and ablation
Hello everybody, I would be very grateful for advice. My problem is that after covid booster Moderna (September) I started feeling lots of ectopics (never had before). Tried deep breathing, flecainide 50 twice a day, metoprolol 25 mg but nothing helped. My cardiologist sent me to numerous tests:

Singulair - Flu Like Symptoms Side Effect
Hey All! A little bit of background on me. Early October I was infected with COVID-19, I’m 4 times vaxxed, and while it was only two days of symptoms, I ended up with SOB on day 3 which later turned into Long COVID. I was prescribed Flovent and Salbutamol by the ER Doctor, my NP then prescribed me Symbicort

Does AF continue to progress silently when using drugs to successfully stop AF episodes?
I was of the belief that if my low burden Vagal AF could be controlled without drugs, by using techniques to stimulate the vagal nerve then I would not need to take drugs. The advantage is I would be able to track my AF to see if it worsens over time. I saw a new EP a month ago and he understood vagal

How many ablations can you have?
Hello everybody hope you’re well as can be expected, With my pvcs playing up and having some tiny snippets of fast heart rate, I’m nearly two years post my second rf ablation, just thought I’d ask how many ablations you can have before your ep gives up and chucks me on the knackers yard. I’ve had very

No more multiple PVCs after daily sauna
I am a 58 years old male. I went into cardiac arrest almost 2 years ago when I was rapid afib. I now have a pacemaker defibrilator. Thanks to my diet,rich in potassium and magnesium, I have been afib free most of the time. Though at times I still had multiple PVC's, bigeminy usually at lunch time.

Going in For Second Ablation
Hi folks! I had my first ablation over four years ago, at Texas Cardiac Arrythmia with Dr. Andrea Natale. I wasn't able to come off my medication after, but the meds then worked to control my afib and numerous PVCs where it didn't pre-ablation. During these four years I had been taking 50 mg of Flecainide

Co Enzyme Q10
Hoes it going fellow heart obsessed lot, do any of you guys take this and how much? I’ve tried magnesium and with the beta blockers it seems to slow my heart way too much. Pvcs are frequent but not as bad as they were. They’re there all the time so looking for a natural help. Cod liver oil is good for

some of the diy solutions for riding with foot drop
After a while though that wasn't enough to keep feet on so made an AFO out of
PVC
pipe that cradled my calf through my foot and attached to pedal. Eventually we my ability to ride the recumbent got beyond me and I still miss it

Update on red light therapy and its potential benefits for people with PD -interview of C Hamilton at 11 am London time on 31st of October
She started making red and near infrared light devices, using LED strips, buckets, old lamp-shades and even
PVC
piping. She asked a friend with Parkinson’s Disease if he wanted to try using a red light hat. He did, and his symptoms improved. She made more bucket light hats for others to try.

Breakthrough episode (Update)
My EP only put me on a miniscule dosage of sotalol as I was doing it out of hospital and couldn't be directly monitored (40mg twice a day). I feel 1000 times better, no kidding, since starting the sotalol even at this low dose. No more daily PVCs, no more extreme fatigue. After checking my QTC to

PVCs and sleep/screentime
Suffered from PVCs since my early 20s (now late 40s) - usually just the odd afternoon a couple of times a year and the occasional noticeable skip. Around the vaccines and covid they went full-time, bigeminy, prolonged pvcs and multiple trips to cardio/a&e. All benign and supposedly not frequent enough
