Hi all, please can some of you list the life style changes that can be recommended to some one newly diagnosed with Afibb?
I have a friend who is awaiting diagnosis of Afibb, also has huge burden of ectopic beats and tachycardia when in sinus mode. I have seen on here listed sometimes, the life style recommendations that can be made whilst awaiting cardiology appointment but have been unable to find them. Also can not remember

Could anyone share with me their experience of the process, experience and effectiveness of the Implanted Loop Recorder?
Hi Friends, I am having a loop recorder implanted on Friday at Barts. I was feeling quite positive about the idea but as the day gets nearer find myself getting myself getting nervous about it. My main anxiety is that in some way way in will cause to me have another A-fib episode, which I haven

Post ablation arrhythmia
I am almost 4 months post ablation for atrial fibrillation. Whilst jogging after my daughter, who was on her scooter, I had an odd heart episode. It may have been AF, but it felt like it could also have been ectopics combined with sinus rhythm - my heart was already beating quite fast, which made it

8 MONTH waiting times…
I saw a pain clinic consultant two months ago and he referred me for nerve block injections in my abdominal wall and groin… after speaking with pain management yesterday, they advised me to follow up on the appointment as I haven’t had anything yet. I’ve just been advised that the MINIMUM waiting time

Anyone else tried it!
Had an appointment with Arrythmia nurse today. In AF when I arrived and picked up on ecg twice. My episodes are getting closer together and Flecainide at 100 x2 is no longer holding them. I am wondering if slowly weaning myself off it and going permanent will be a better bet. All thoughts gratefully

Sliding into persistent Afib
Hello I am on Flecaine 200 ( slow release) and 3.75 Bisoprolol. I usually get episodes 1 or 2 times a month the longest lasting between 5 an7 hours which self resolve. However last Saturday/Sunday night at 2 in the morning I popped into Afib. This lasted until in 1 pm the next day. I was a bit wiped

Ectopic beats are a pain.
Hello everybody, hope you’re all as well as can be, 10 months post 2nd ablation and over a month ago came off of flecainide, still taking bisoprolol and apixaban. I spoke to my ep last week and said all was well was having some bumps but felt the ablation was blocking them quite well, hunky dory we both

Afib
I have been taking 5.mg of Apixaban twice a day for a year for Afib I have no energy whatsoever so tired all the time. Blurred vision aching legs. Can’t go on like this. Anybody else on Apixaban experience these systoms? My house is a mess can’t find the energy to do simple tidying up.

How do you feel when in AF?
I am 66 and got diagnosed with AF last November and am on anti coagulants and beta blockers. I have been relatively fine since then other than the odd ectopic and fluttering but just for a few seconds. Then three days ago in the early hours of the morning I woke up with a thump in my chest and my heart

Am I now in permanent AF?
Just a brief introduction , I have been suffering from AF for about 5 years and after 3 ablations ,1 was for flutter, I was getting episodes every 2 to 3 weeks usually lasting 4 to 6 hours. These episodes are usually terminated by PIP flecainide and metoprolol . I’m used to them now and basically ride

May the Fourth be with me!
Headed to my fourth ablation today after many deliberations. Cardioversion took care of an atrial tachycardia episode back in February. Per EP’s instructions, came off metoprolol and flecainide four days prior to today … and amazingly no Afib or flutter. In fact, feeling quite well. So wondering if I

Edoxaban dangers
Yesterday, 28 Mar 22, I received a letter from my local surgery stating that a review of my medication had taken place by a consultant cardioligist and that I was being moved from Apixaban to Edoxaban as it was cheaper and was not detrimental to my health. It transpires On my medical records had been

AFib, Post Ablation, & Sex
I haven't seen this topic here and I don't know if it's within the guidelines but here goes: What relationship have folks here experienced between sex, Afib, and the post-Ablation period? When my Afib started, there was some correlation between having episodes after having had sex. Apparently, sexual

First degree AV block - can it be caused by bisoprolol?
Hi All, This morning I did a ‘random’ Kardia (6L) ECG and it came back that I was in sinus Rythm with wide QRS. It was a one off and five mins later I did another one (and many others since) and all in normal SR. I sent it off for a clinician review as I’ve been worried about it all day and they’ve come

10 days afib now finished HR too low?
After 10 days of seeing heart rate mainly over 100 but zooming up and down, it is now on the 50s and little energy to move. Presumable the Bisoprolol working too well. Is this normal? I am not faint or dizzy

The importance of speaking to the right person & being persistent.
Well I went back into AFib 9 days after CV. Tachycardia, breathless ,light headed. I phoned the Arrythmia nurses number & was told it is a shame it didn't work but to get my Gp to do an ECG & send it to email.They would look at it & go from there.Probably decide to do a 24 monitor & see me in clinic.Waiting

Not to complain, but . . . maybe I need some reassurance?
I had a rough time in the recovery period from my cryo ablation at the end of June last year, after a promising start. Then, since October last year I've had a lovely period without any major problems. Sure, I'm sensitive now to whatever my heart is doing, and when I lie down in bed I can feel my heart

Coming off drugs b4 ablation
I’m on amlodipine (Ca channel blocker) and metoprolol (beta blocker). Plus flecainide (Na channel blocker). All fairly low doses. I have to come off them before my fourth ablation for four days so not looking forward to that. Anyone experienced withdrawal symptoms doing same?

Nerve block injection
I’ve had neck and shoulder pain for years tried everything without any real relief. Next moth I have an appointment with a radio neurologist, where I am to be given a nerve block injection in the even that this will work. I’ve heard so many discouraging things about this injection, and would welcome
