Flunarizine
My neurologist has suggested that I might try Flunarizine. Has anyone had experience of this drug? Did it work? What is it's success rate? Topamax (topirimate) did not suit me. I found the side effects to be very unpleasant (frequent nausea, loss of appetite with consequent loss of weight and depression

Changing from Aspirin to Apixaban
I have been taking 300mg Aspirin for about two years after getting paroxymal tachycardia which developed into PAF. At my last visit to my EP he said we'd discuss changing to an anticoagulant at my next appointment in December. After reading so many things about Aspirin not being effective I am seeing

cox maze procedure
Hi has anyone had a cox maze procedure if so how long is reasonable to decided if it has been succesful. I also had a tumour removed from my atria. The consensus is up to 12 months before success can be judged. I am much better than my pre op permanent AF and post op. Mainly its exertion that stops me

Tai Chi & Osteoporosis
Just a quick post: Whilst in hospital yesterday having foot surgery, I was chatting to another patient and she told me how both she and her friend with osteoporosis had discovered that by doing Tai Chi they had improved their bone density exponentially. Thought those of you with it or worrying about

Micturation and AF - the reason?
Some time ago we had a discussion (with some hilarious posts) about frequent loo visits to pee during AF and it was a question which I put during a consultation but didn't get an definitive answer. I had a recent run of SVT episodes and the same trotting to the loo occurred. Apparently it is because

After 3 months of symptoms have finally been diagnosed with PAF and started bisoprolol 2.5 mgs today.
Started with 2-3 episodes a week but over the past 3 weeks have only had 2 episode free days. Last Monday was the worst when had 3 episodes and spent the whole day in a state of exhaustion. After taking my first beta blocker this morning I have had my best day for 12 weeks. No palpitations, heart rate

Increased heart rate 3 months after ablation
Hi all. I had a successful catheter ablation in February. Following it, I no longer had a heart flutter, and my AF had also gone. My pulse was down to 55-60 bpm and I felt well. However, about 3 months following the ablation, my pulse has gone up to approx 100bpm, regularly. I saw my GP last week, who

Will I forever have the AFIB diagnosis after one EKG?
I am still trying to figure some things out. But my question still becomes: Will I forever have the diagnosis of AFIB after just ONE episode that the EKG captured???? A 2nd EKG and a 2 week heart monitor showed all NSR. Never have symptoms. I am taking Metoprolol and aspirin and need to decide whether

this is my 2nd posting, my 1st query was about AV node ablation, my EP specialist has recommended that I have the AV node ablation
my cardiologist would rather I tried a pacemaker with 190mg of high dose Metoprolol, as AV node abaltion is a last resort, unfortunately this hasn't worked as I could not tolerate more than 145gms Metoprolol - 3mths after having the pacemaker inserted my heart rate went down to 43bpm, I was taken to

Are these ectopic beats?
Hello everyone I'm trying to understand what is happening with my heart and PAF. I know when I'm having an AF episode with jumping, flapping, fluttering heart and fast (150+) pulse, breathless and low BP but there are also what I have been calling 'mini episodes' which are much less severe. From reading
