Treatment Options
Diagnosed with Atrial flutter in January, 2023 . In December, 2023 went into Afib and had cardioversion which lasted until mid January, 2024. Went back into Afib Jan 15/24, tried Flecainide and 2nd cardioversion 2 days ago, which failed. Are there other treatment options to get out of Afib ?

Electric shock treatment
I was diagnosed with AF Nov 2022 but have beeb pretty good since then with no further arrhythmia (as far as I am aware). Recently had echocardiogram and the technician thought everything looked fine. Now had letter saying I would be given an appointment for electric shock treatment to improve my energy

Short spikes of raised HR?
Hello again, My ablation was mid March and I've been in NSR since bar 2 short episodes of AF that self converted when I was under extreme stress. Every now and then (once every 3 weeks or so) I guess I get a short spike of raised heart rate shown on my fitbit, if I'm sitting quietly I'm aware of it

Hi I am new to AF on this forum. The forum looks good and I am impressed by the quality of the posts and answers. I have been on Healthunblocked site in the section for MPN (Polycythaemia) and Thyroid for many years and I am pretty knowledgeable medically as I have Polycythaemia Vera and Hypogonadism

Prednisolone and blood thinners
As well as having PMR I also have Atrial Fibrillation. I am currently on 6mg of prednisolone.My GP is reluctant to prescribe a DOAC blood thinner for the Afib, because he says there is a risk of gastric bleeding.I am friendly with two retired GP's who are both of the opinion that this shouldn't be an

Hi - I have AFib and am on anticoagulants and heart rate medication. The thing is I never feel any palpitations of the usual symptoms of AF. My condition was only picked up as I was about to undergo an operation on my big toe!! I'm not really wanting to get a heart rate watch etc as I am rather a

Pacs, Please Go Away !
Had my second ablation for atrial flutter back in September , first ablation was in 2016 for afib, that ablation worked for almost seven years. Have been having these weird extra beats, I felt them and they showed up on my Kardia . After some internet research, people told me they are pacs. For awhile

Ectopic beats are freaking me out.
I have recently started to experience frequent PVCS (ectopic beats). Lying down I seem to be ok, but when up and about I get them every 5-10 seconds or so sometimes!! My cardiologist doesn’t seem to be concerned as I had a normal echocardiogram and kind of just sent me on my way. He said it might be

new to AFib
Hi, Last week I spent the night in hospital with AFib. I came home with 2 sorts of medication (beta blockers and blood thinners). It was a very scary process as I have always been healthy, despite my age , 67, and my weight, 17 stone plus. As soon as I came home I knew I needed to lose weight to help

Can you tell me what is this new symptom?
Hi once again. Just now I've noticed and felt a new type of heartbeat. My heartbeat was two beats -> pause -> two beats -> pause. Can someone tell what this is? I see a mention of bigeminy or pvc's. I'm currently almost a month post ablation. I didn't have afib episode since December. This is a first

Is it a choice? Pacemaker v Implanted defibrillator?
Hi, it's #chinkoflight here with an update. Things are moving on. I'm in coronary care, and the evidence for my fainting whilst running story has now shown an arrthymia at the time of the fall, effectively stopping my heart functioning, leading to the drop in blood pressure and the syncope event. It's
