Confused
Hi there, I was diagnosed with copd 4 months ago and went back today to see the nurse for my first breath test. She said that it had improved slightly but mentioned an average reading. I keep on hearing on this site about Fev1 readings but have never heard about an average reading. I'm confused. Lyn

Hybrid ablation part 2
I am part of a clinical trial to judge the outcomes of a mini maze procedure followed by a catheter ablation compared to two catheter ablations. I had been in persistent AF since Feb 2016, give or take a few weeks after cardioversion. I had the mini maze on April 6th. Since then I have been predominantly

Normal concern or unnecessary worry?
For many years I had occasional bouts of PVCs, then during a time of great stress I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AF, but it wasn't until a year ago that I was given Flecainide twice a day, Metoprolol and Xarelto. Recently wore a 2-week Zio Patch monitor to give the cardiologist a clearer idea of how

Had cardiology appointment today, no real progress!
My irregular and now pretty painful heart beats are still increasing so much so I ended up in A&E this week but the result of that was nil, except being checked out for immediate danger. However I did manage to get a cardiologist appointment for today which wasn't entirely fruitless but also didn't resolve

Feeling like dying every second..PVC, PAC how do you keep calm and not freak out all the time??
I have been having Pac and
Pvc
for the past 2 years.. had multiple 2 weeks monitors, Echocardiograms, EKGs, MRI (not completed bc of Migrane), Stress test....I don't exercise anymore because I can't get over the fear of dying of cardiac arrest.

verapamil
Has anyone been given verapamil to use as a pill in the pocket to either stop tachycardia or stop pvc's ? I was at the ER a couple of days ago with tachycardia that lasted almost four hours. 100ml of Flecainide didn't stop it so they did a chemical cardioversion and it stopped it straight away. I'm always

Had a really rough couple of days. Anyone know what this tingling in my arms and fingers is all about?
This thing is hitting me way harder than I expected. I haven't been in AF for 6 days, but the last 3 days I've been getting lightheaded and tingling down my arms and into my little fingers (normally after I've been on my feet for 20 minutes). Some hours later I get hit by a powerful head rush. Not enough

Dizziness feeling when in NSR?
It has now happened to me on 3 occasions. Just wondering if anyone recognises these symptoms as being associated with AF, or should I be looking elsewhere? Just an hour ago I was sitting in my car when I felt a strong head rush / dizziness coming on. My head feels kind of fizzy and fuzzy inside. My

Any other symptoms?
I have a high amount of
PVC
which make my heart rate really high even when I'm relaxing. It makes me feel lightheaded dizzy and like I'm running a race all while sitting. I've also always have a headache.

First visit to the cardiologist
I wasn't in there long. The summary of my consultation as follows: He recommends ablation, given that I have a low resting HR and wish to return to sport. I am being referred to an EP to take this further. (I don't relish heart surgery at age 38, but, I feel content that they are going straight for

7 weeks, mixed health still
So I started Cardiac Rehab last Friday and had my second session this Tuesday. So far because of my health prior to the bypass not being great I have found it tiring for sure. I've also ended up with muscle tweaks in my shoulders, neck and back along with some pains in my calf and ankle. That being said

PVC's and PAC's when not in AF - normal?
Hello again :) So, I got my ECG machine yesterday and have been trying it out quite a bit. I am mostly in NSR, occasionally I see PACs, and my latest graph shows PVCs every 2, 3 or 4 normal beats. I haven't been in constant AF for 3 weeks but have had 2 brief AF attacks in the last 2 weeks. Just wondering

A funny thing happened when I stopped my Beta blocker.
The
PVC
/PAC episodes on the other hand were quite pronounced and frequent. During my follow-up visit my doctor declared my risk assessment to be very small and lowered my ace inhibitor and removed me from the beta blocker. Almost instantly after stopping the beta blocker the PVCs/PACs stopped.
