6 Months Post Ablation
Hello everyone! Hope all of you are doing good. Have not been logging in here for quite a while as I have been busy with work after the ablation :) Like my husband told me ...You did not do the ablation just to return to work at full speed :) Reminds me to take it easy ... and to slow down. Just to update

Waiting list for Ablation
Hi, can I ask for those who have had an Ablation, did you have general or local anaesthetic and if awake does it hurt? I’m in a waiting list and absolutely dreading it! My Bisoprolol is being changed as I have been on it for a year and a half now and when I’m into AF nothing is bringing it back into

Best way forward
I would really appreciate your thoughts on my best way forward. I recently had a two week episode of AF with an average heart rate of 120. I have had lengthy episodes like this 2 or 3 times previously. When I came out of it I became increasingly breathless and by the third day I wasn't able to do

Sotalol for Atrial Flutter
Hi everybody. I had my first appointment with an EP this week (telephone appt) and he has prescribed Sotalol to deal with recurrent Flutter episodes. These happen every couple of weeks with high HR up to 150 bpm come out of the blue and at rest with duration no more than a couple of hours generally.

Sotalol Started at Home
My daughter has had a-fib since she was 19. 1 ablation that failed after she got pregnant. Multiple meds and a cardioversion and she is in and out all the time. They started her on Sotalol 80mg 2x a day two days ago at home. I'm a retired nurse and have never heard of starting Sotalol at home. Today

Sotalol red flag drug reactions
I’m on Sotalol, have been for a lot of years now. It was originally prescribed for SVT, but I’ve developed PAF since 2014, after a nasty coughing virus and the Drs are keeping me on it. I’ve been fine on it, but what worries me, is the huge amount of drugs that Sotalol reacts with and are red flag reactions

Newly diagnosed Afib. How long to wait for test results ? Covid ? Reassurance anybody ?
Hi I'm a 35 year old mother of 3 and on the 31st December had a terrible shock when I woke in the night to get a glass of water and out of nowhere just fainted on the kitchen floor. When I came round my heart was pounding out of my chest. I went to A&E after 4 hours of this and an ecg confirmed a fib

3 month post ablation-update
Morning, Thankyou so much to you all for your advice. I got in touch with the arrhythmia nurses at Barts. I have now been advised that they are upping my sotalol dose , however thankfully after 6 days of afib my heart has gone back into NSR overnight. Prof Schilling has now said he will do another ablation

Sotalol , different companies
This sounds bizarre but I started taking Sotalol Teva 80 mg two months ago and after an initial difficult week as my body got used to the drug felt very well . For my second months supply I went to a different chemist that gave me Sotalol Biogaran . I know they are exactly the same drug but I am now

PVCs and roller-coaster Bisoprolol. Need advice, please
My daughter has 24% of PVCs but NO symptom, so she has to rely on Zio Path to check her PVCs burden. Sep 2019, Bisoprolol 2,5mg/day. PVCs went down to 12%. Nov 2019, they increased to 5mg/day hoping that it'd lower further number of PVCs. Unfortunately, it went up to 22% (!) Dec 2019, back to 2,5mg

Suddenly feeling faint
Am on sotalol 80mg twice a day. Have atrial fibrillation and ectopic beats but sometimes and without warning I suddenly come over very faint as if I'm going to pass out (very frightening) and then my heart goes like the clappers. Any suggestions please on what could be the cause?

Unexpected Fast AF
I posted earlier about some AF which started this morning at 0130. I took various Kardia readings and discovered that the heart was beating at about 75-85 bpm for several hours. When I got up at about 0900, however, the reading shot up to 146 bpm, then, very surprisingly, 10 minutes later after taking

Viatom Checkme Pro
Has anybody else used this monitor? I bought it so I could email ecg recordings to the Cardiology clinic. It will take 24hr single lead holter readings. It can be used with wired skin contacts or direct skin contacts. It can also take overnight SPO2 recordings. The best feature is that it measures the

Sotalol
I have been prescribed 40mg Sotalol twice a day as a starter dose and now have been prescribed an increase to 80mg twice a day. I am concerned to discover that Sotalol is no longer recommended by NICE for rate control or rythmn control. I asked my GP for an explanation and his reply was rather vague

Anti-inflammatories
Hi, I have been suffering over the past 6 weeks with Epididytisis and have had a course of antibiotics as well as an ultrasound (that was clear). When I spoke to a GP he was going to prescribe some anti inflammatory medication but soon realised he couldn’t as I’m taking Apixaban. I’m also taking Sotalol
