I've had paroxysmal AF for around 3 years and my episodes are extremely erratic. I can go several months with nothing at all and then out of the blue, it'll happen every couple of weeks. I'm on Lisinopril for high blood pressure and was prescribed Bisiprolol and Apixaban when the PAF was finally diagnosed

AF/VT after Covid - My Story
Hi all, this is my first post. I'm 62 and have been on meds for high BP for about 10 years. I was having palpitations around half a dozen times a year for the past few years, and then after getting Covid in July 2021 (Delta variant) they started getting more regular (every week or two) and for longer

Apixaban and subconjunctival haemorrhage.
After taking Apixaban for 6 days (2x5mg, daily) I woke this morning with a subconjunctival haemorrhage in the left eye. Yesterday, the eye had been bloodshot and itchy; I had hoped that it was just conjunctivitis and would clear up. As I had a similar subconjunctival haemorrhage three years ago, two

Bisopropol as pill in pocket
As my AF has progressed and I’m now experiencing longer bouts of tachycardia and sometimes irregularities I have been prescribed Bisopropol as pill in pocket by a GP. The episodes are still only 4/5 hours with my heart rate at approximately 180bpm for much of the time. When first diagnosed with AF I

New to Apixaban
Having been diagnosed with Arrhythmia, I will shortly start taking 5mg Apixaban twice a day. This causes me much concern. Will I be able to lead a normal life, eg play golf, go abroad on holiday etc and will I be able to have a couple of glasses of wine each day? I am currently a regular social drinker

Why Do I Keep Getting Pleurisy ?
Why do I keep getting pleurisy ? I don't smoke , never had , no history of asthma - I was hospitalised in June and given an x-ray confirming it was in the bottom of my left lung and I was given six steroid pills and two sessions on a nebuliser . Then my GP said I had asthma . I'm a woodwind player !

Update and question about verapamil
Quick update.....stopped flecainide and reduced verapamil. Feeling good and no afib, no SVT. Surprisingly blood pressure which was always good dropped (now 107/68), but Verapamil is meant to lower blood pressure. go figure. Only change I have made recently other than meds is use of taurine (close to

Increased pain after pudendal nerve block.
As a last resort I had a pudendal nerve block in my left buttock 17 days ago. The pain in the injection site is almost unbearable. I hoped this would turn my life around but it has just done the opposite. I am desperate for some pain relief tried all the neuropathic pain tablets but they didn’t

Getting off Verapamil
After 2nd ablation for SVT, I had AFib episodes. Cardiologist said I could take Verapamil and if this did not stop Afib, could add Flecainide. I was told for the SVT ablation blanking period 1 week. I concluded 3 months more appropriate and decided to take 180 mg Verapamil sustained release once/day

Hubby forgot his pills 🤦♀️🤦♀️
After ablation 3 weeks, high HR last week culminating in cardioversion; he was doing so well with normal HR, sinus rhythm & BP. Then he forgot his pills last night, went into AF overnight, and now has HR of 120. Any suggestions/thoughts will be gratefully received! Our thoughts are to monitor over the

Tachycardia and PACS 14 months post ablation.

London NHS recommendations for treating arrhythmias
I have just moved to London & have ongoing heart arrhythmias that I’d like medical advice on. I wondered I’d anyone could kindly give me advice on the best NHS centre to be referred to in London? I was diagnosed with paroxysmal long RP atrial tachycardia in 2019 and I’m now 53 years old. I am currently

Post op puzzlement
7.5 weeks ago I had surgery to reconstruct my Achilles’ tendon. The short version is my foot is still swollen and I can’t walk due to pain. I had a nerve block for the surgery and wonder if the swelling & numbness is a result of it. My Dr. did not prescribe physical therapy. He just said work back into

So Worried - update
We’ll, he’s still in hospital; they’ve tried various drugs unsuccessfully to bring the HR down. They’re planning a cardioversion today - bit anxious about it because he missed a dose of apixaban on Tuesday in all the kerfuffle of going into hospital! 🤞🤞it all goes ok and does the trick!
