AF Returns
Hi Short back story, I was diagnosed with AF in 2016, Ablation 2017, then AF returned in 2020 and second ablation in 2021. All good until September 2023 when AF re-appeared and had a successful cardioversion last month. During last night I went back into AF (I am generally always persistent). I have

coming off Sotalol
I had an ablation in September. I read the Drs letter they gave me when going home and it looks like they’ll be taking me off Sotalol. I had to stop this for 2 days before my ablation and it started my AFib off, so obviously I’m worried about stopping it again. I am on 80mg twice a day now. They reduced

Its Baaack!
Woke at 0430 and went to the loo. On the way, I noticed that I was slightly unsteady on my feet. Sometimes this happens for a few seconds on standing up but quickly passes; this time it continued. On getting back to bed the penny dropped; a quick Kardia confirmed that I was in AF. This is the first

Sotalol - Brutal Side Effects
Hi, I thought I would share my Sotalol experience as it took me a while to figure out this was the problem "For Me"... You can see my story in my profile... But to keep it short... I was put on 120mg Sotalol 2x per day from 5mg Bisoprolol 1x per day in October 2023 after going back into AFIB and getting

too old for ablation?
My mom (81) has had bradycardia and afib for decades. About 5 years ago, she got a pacemaker and was put on sotalol & Metropolol, which controlled things well for a while. Recently, she’s been having more frequent episodes of afib (lasting a week or so at a time). Her Dr suggested an ablation, but

Stopping Sotolol after ablation - fast HR and breathless
Hello, I am an ablation for Paroxysmal AFib and Flutter on 11th July. All went well. As well as AFib I used to get long periods ( a week or more) of other arrhythmia -PACs, SVTs, PVCs. They told me the ablation might not help stop these. During the 3 month blanking period, had some days of chest

AV Node Ablation and Medication
A few days ago I posted a query concerning the procedure re medication following an AV node abalation because, having made enquiries, I couldn't get a definitive answer as to what should be happening about coming off or reducing Sotalol. I had an appointment with the Pacemaker Clinic for last Friday

Hello, I take 80 mg of Sotalol a day (40 in the morning and 40 at night). I also take Metoprolol - 12 1/2 mg twice a day. Does anyone have had side effects taking those 2 drugs together?

Covid vaccine - symptoms worsening?
Good evening. Wondering if anyone has experienced AF symptoms worsening after a covid vaccine? I have paroxysmal AF and am in day 6 of AF…usual symptoms so far (palpitations, high heart rate, breathlessness when active, occasional lightheadedness) so nothing out of the ordinary. However I had the covid

Ibuprofen
I am having a lot of joint pain just now and been taking cocodamol. 30mg per day. Struggling with walking .I have now also just been double vaccinated so have 2 Sore arms . I don't want to take more co-codamol. Can I risk even one dose of ibuprofen. I do suffer from AF and take Edoxoban , bendohydrofluorine

Flecainide for chemical version
Persistent AF for over two years punctuated by NSR for 8mths after first cardioversion but only 2 weeks after second. Now on digoxin & sotalol which controls the rate well but limits activities. Clinic suggest trying Flecainide to see if it will chemically induce NSR. Any experiences with this approach

Hi Everyone Question on Heart Rate after Ablation
I had an cryo-ablation done end of May this year. Stayed on all meds until 3 month follow-up and felt normal the whole time other than HR increased about 10 beats a minute from 62 pre ablation on sotalol to 72 after ablation still on sotalol. After the 3 month follow up the Doctor told me I could start
