Ablation for a 78 yom
I am a 78 Tom. Healthy other than cardio issues of afib. In 2017 I had an ablation which worked for two years. Then sporadic AF for a year. This year (2021) AF back with pulse rate of 162. The controlling med, Amiodarone was prescribed for six months. With the AF I had premature ventricular contractions

How did you get here? What caused your COPD, ACOS, Bronchiectasis or whatever?
I saw this thread running on another forum and thought it was interesting. For me I had mild asthma as a child, I also had bronchiolitis, scarlet fever and the odd asthma attack up to the age of about 6. I have a strong familial connection to respiratory illness with no Alpha One. I foolishly smoked

Bisoprolol
Just to say my 1.25 Bisoprolol took about a month to kick in. Its worked very well on my PVCs so far.

PVCs
I have PAF and due my first ablation at the start of September at Barts. Last night I had a PVCs for the first time . Am I right in thinking that this type of ectopic is the dangerous type ?

Feelings about FeNo testing
I have read a lot of comments about FeNo testing recently and am very interested to know different viewpoints. My consultant said it was going to become part of the gold standard for testing for asthma and lung inflammation and should be in every surgery. He even thinks eventually we (us with asthma

Doctor checkup yesterday
After being forgotten in the exam room ...1 hour later nurse had to locate the doctor, who wasn't even in the building...... anyway, found that my echo and blood work to be very good. I was told...and I kind of thought this as well, that what I was feeling in my chest were pvcs...not Afib. Not concerned

I’m going crazy
Backstory: have had occasional heart palpitations since I was 15 years old. Changing in frequency and feeling. I turn 23 tomorrow and have never felt this bad. I’ve had tons of ekgs, echos, holter monitor, blood tests, you name it. Been to a few cardiologists that have told me my palpitations are benign

PVC’s or ectopic beats
Hi, I was diagnosed with paroxysmal afib at 43 in 2017 and had catheter ablation in March this year. Afib returned for a couple of hours twice but was in the 3 month blanking period so was ok. Stopped the flecainide and verapamil 2 months after procedure as advised by surgeon and need to say it feels

Use of a ratio of 66 vs 70 in Pre Bronchodilator Spirometry
Over the last few months I've seen a few on here freaking out that their FEV/FVC ratio was below 70 while they have a good FEV1. I came across this article today which recommends using 66 as the pre bronchodilator cut off for obstruction. Interesting, this stuff is changing by the day as COPD diagnosis

I’m feeling really lost right now. PVCS, junctional rhythm, ventricular bigeminy
I’m feeling so disheartened and deflated recently. I starting suffering from shortness of breath at the beginning of the year which I believed may have been anxiety induced, I also had chest pain upon exertion eg. Putting up my Christmas decorations. I should mention that for the last 5 years since

Mild something going on, air bubbles, air moving in lung??
I had asthma as a child and smoked in my 20's at weekends but would go through a pack a night. 22 years a non smoker. Now 52 . Other than my wife burning the odd candle to my annoyance I've had zero exposures to fumes. Normal spirometry (My FEV1 has declined but still preserved close to where it was

Amioderone for PVC's
Hi I have had pvc's for 45 years now and none of the drugs that were available that many years ago were effective. I have heard of a drug called Amiodarone which is getting good reviews for safety and effectiveness. Is there anyone out there who has tried this? Regards Cliff in Western Australia

Mid April I had one intense
PVC
episode while driving. Only it was like a few weird bumps and then bam my heart was pounding. Before I could find a spot to pull over it was back to beating normally. After that suddenly my PVCs were gone and my heart rate was drastically lower.

When you are better and then worse
I think I was doing better over the last few months and then my doctor sticks me on Lexapro an I get an ear infection (unrelated but at the same time) These two actions have thrown me way off. I am off the lexapro but it really made for a tough month and the ear thing was taken care of by ENT. I am
