Another ablation?
I have had 2 unsuccessful catheter ablations for PVCs and bigeminy which are non life threatening but difficult to live with - currently back on flecainide 2x50mg - my cardiologist is now talking of possible epicardially approach using RMT stereotaxis ??? Anyone have experience of this ?

Hello and my story.
Hello guys. My name is Paul and I have suffered with PVC's, SVT's and slight AF since I was 22, I am now 47. I have had so many 24 hour monitors and ECG's I have lost count. As you all know, your body goes into stealth mode and hides all your symptoms when you have any tests done lol. This has been

Brutal Stomach Pain
I have severe PVCs so my cardiologist put me on brutal drug. It caused constipation and severe stomach pain. My shortness of breath is scary at times. I have read about not stopping it but I'm desperate and can take no more. I have ablation July 3rd and the dr told me to stop it a week before but said

Ablation & PVCs
Hi I’ve been diagnosed with DCM with a very low EF of 35%. Since leaving hospital with an ICD I’ve had numerous shocks due to extended runs of VT. After my last hospital visit I started on amiodarone 200mg and felt fantastic, due to this my ablation was put on hold. For the past few weeks my PVCs

Does anyone have episodes of constant burping allied to premature ventricular contractions
My GP thought I had a couple of episodes of paroxysmal AF but undiagnosed, the consultant says that I have prem ventricular contractions. I have no medication but sometimes feel unwell and my own monitor does register irregular heartbeats sometimes. I get periods of burping during these times and wondered

PVC’s during AF?
He has never been diagnosed with AF, but he has just had an ECG showing a irregularly irregular heartbeat with a significant amount of
PVC
interspersed within the irregular normal beats. The GP said he wasn’t sure if he was in AF due to the number of ectopics!

Help Getting FEV1 Percentage From Liters
Hello, this is probably pretty simple for some but quite confusing for me. I have a Microlife peak flow meter and it does give the FEV1 but it does it in Liters and not percentages, which is the standard I can understand most. For example it says PEF is 447 Liters and then says my FEV1 is 2.77 Liters

Is my loop recorder working it’s way out?
Hi all, I’m new here, I have a question I’m hoping you can help me with. Got my St Jude implant just over a month ago. It’s a neat piece of technology that works with a smartphone they gave me (it communicates via Bluetooth with the smartphone and the phone sends data to the cardiologist). Really glad

Air Trapping? PLEASE HELP
So my FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, SVC, Diffusion Capacity, and TLC are all NORMAL. My FEF 25 - 75% is abnormal (76%), my RV is abnormal (3.03L 169%), and RV/TLC (36%)..... My doctor said I have air trapping and mid air flow is abnormal. The pulmonologist said I may have mild asthma. What is air trapping? Should
