Heart not behaving
I was put on a course of setraline for pain relief and anxiety. I took the pills for four weeks but started getting lots of PVC's and runs of tachycardia so l stopped them two days ago. I couldn't get to see a doctor till today who agreed that l should stop the meds. But today I've had more PVC's and

How safe is taking Apixaban ?
Hello, I am 65 still working and reasonably fit , and have permanent Afib but so far very few symptoms. I take 2.5 mg of Bisoprolol a day. I have had Afib on and off for around 10 years As part of the great NHS system, I was told I needed to be on Apixaban However, the side effects horrify me Should

Bisoprolol & Apixaban
Early sixties. Coming up to two years when I had peridarditis which developed into permanent afib until I had cardio version four months later. Been mostly clear since then but occasional bursts of arrythmia, typically early beats. Think I was stressed out but have also given up alcohol and now exercising

Holter monitor
I had my second ablation in November 22 and think it went well. My post ablation monitor showed some AF so it was repeated in June 23. It was reported in October 23 but only today did i received a copy of the result sent to my GP. It shows short runs of atrial tachycardia and short runs of AF and I will

Ablation Number Four
Further to my post a few days ago where I described my disappointment at slipping back into ‘Possible AF’ just 10 weeks after my third ablation, I have now seen my EP. He analysed the print out of an ECG and feels that I am now experiencing atrial tachycardia rather than af and that it is worth doing

Ectopics every few seconds
I was recently diagnosed with SVT and now awaiting Outpatients appointment for an Echocardiogram. Recently have been getting ectopics every 5 to 40 heartbeats at certain times of the day especially ally when I lie on my side at night Would appreciate if anybody else has as many and should I worry

Atrial tachycardia and PAC burden and urgency of ablation question
So I finally found the report from my 14 day holter monitor and it showed a PAC burden of 4% and 141 episodes of atrial tachycardia originating from the pulmonary vein and the longest stretch being 30 beats (I guess that is what the EP meant when he said i was having mini afib episodes, maybe he was

Post Ablation
Good morning, This is a long one so Thankyou if you get to the end! I had my 3rd Ablation last Thursday 18th Jan at St Bart’s . It was a fairly complex one and resulted in going from sedation to a general anesetic during procedure. I had an overnight stay and was discharged Friday afternoon. I was

Updates on AF meds
Hello. Had appointment with AF specialist yesterday at Berks Cardiology. Everything went well. He explained everything in detail of my options, and basically said it's my choice to do whatever I wanted. I told him I wanted to exercise again at the gym, he said I could do whatever I wanted to do, but

Amlodipine and heart arrhythmias
My husband takes Amlodipine for mildly raised BP and for about 2 hours after taking it his heart performs badly. Until recently, it was merely a slightly raised rate and PAC's, but in the last week his rate is 50% higher than normal, massive amounts of PAC's and PVC's and Kardia shows 'possible AF

Mixing medications
Apologies if this is a well repeated question, but not sure how to search for old posts where l’m sure there is an answer! Does anyone know of a good site where one can search for drug interactions? Have tried the pharmacy which is okay if you can get them to answer the phone and I won’t start on problems

hi I know people can’t give medical advice but I’m hoping maybe for some reassurance/opinions I was given a stent in 2018 no heart attack but narrowed lad I’ve recently started to notice high heart rate readings on my Apple Watch SE no notification but only saw it when looking back through the days data

Stopped flecainide
Last week I stopped taking flecainide. I was on a lower dose of 50 mg twice a day. My cardiologist said I didn’t have to wean off if it because it is a small dosage. This week following the stoppage my heart rate has been very high. Just standing up it will jump into the 90’s. I called my cardiologist

Ibandronic Acid
With aggravated osteoporosis my partner has been offered the choice of monthly doses of Bonviva or a six monthly injection. Which would be most effective to mitigate the osteoporosis while remaining compatible with an AF/pacemaker regime that includes Amias, Sotalol, Furosemide, and Apixaban?.

Ramdom flips from bradycardia to tachycardia.
First Post. Hi everyone I'm a 64 year old male livng in Yorkshire, England. I first became aware of issues with my heart over 40 years ago, my wife noticed my heart would miss a beat every now and again. At some point a doctor told me I had an ectopic beat and that it wasn't anything to worry about,

stopping apixaban
I’m due to have a procedure (balloon dilation) to help my swallowing next week and the ENT consultant wants me to stop my apixaban for three days prior to this, it’s not a surgical procedure but there is a chance of bleeding. I have recently had a cardioversion and as far as I’m aware I’m still in NSR
