Having a STEMI in mid 40's...the search for underlying causes / answers for premature CHD.
Hi Everyone, My husband had a major STEMI in March 2023 with a full blockage of his circumflex artery. He was 44 years old and playing 5-a-side football in a local sports centre when he collapsed without warning. Thank goodness it happened there of all places however, as the swift actions of his team

Will it, won’t it?
My AFib occurs roughly every 3-5 weeks and ranging from 12-30 hrs. I am going into hospital next Friday 26th for surgery under an GA and have to take my last apixaban Tuesday evening. Pre op said it was unlikely surgery would go ahead if I was in Afib. I’ve been waiting a year for surgery so I obviously

When to take PIP flecainide?
Unfortunately my paroxysmal AF has significantly worsened lately and I am awaiting an ablation. In the meantime my consultant has put me back on flecainide 50mg bi daily plus an additional up to 100mg as PIP if AF kicks in. I’m now in AF almost every week for a few hours. Before it starts I frequently

Neck and Shoulder Pain
thank you for this great group. I had an asymptomatic afib incident in March which I was given a cardioversion. My afib subsided for a short time and then on a follow up with my EP I was scheduled for and received an ablation (radio frequency) on June 7, still asymptomatic except now for the last month

When to call doctor
Hi all. I was diagnosed with afib last July. I had a cardioversion and was prescribed Eliqiuis and propofenone (a heart rhythm regulator). I had no problems until I drank a little too much wine at a wedding . Now, my heart rate is somewhat erratic and can jump to 160 periodically. It has been like

First night on Buprenorphine
So today I took 0.2 mg of Buprenorphine, thinking it was better to start low. The effect was incredible. My legs didn't move at all. In fact, the effect was so effective that I even got scared. My body was so relaxed. I got a little anxious that I may not wake up if I felt sleep. I layed there amazed

Bisoprolol
Hi Just wondering about my dosage of Bisoprol. When I read related posts on here, most people seem to be on a maximum of 5mg. I’m on 12.5 which I take at night. At my most recent appointment with my cardiologist in March, I asked if it could be reduced as I get so tired on an afternoon and I often have

When to take Azidem with Paroxysmal AFib?
I’m into 5 days of AFib. Doesn’t feel too bad except when lying on side. Heart rate between 92-120. When I’ve had AFib before it lasts up to a week and goes away on its own. I don’t know why it starts or stops. If by day 7 it is carrying on should I start Adizem? I was prescribed some when I first

I finally got my sublingual buprenorhine!
Hi everybody! Thanks to this forum I finally got a neurologist who was willing to prescribe me 0.2mg sublingual buprenorphine tablets. I've been on 100 tramadol for two weeks and was wondering which would be the wiser way of switching from one to the other and finding the right dose. I'm a bit worried

Stopping an Afib?
I'm very interested to hear of any methods that you've found that actually stops your Afib and restores NSR.Mine always last 15-24 hours and always returns to NSR while I'm asleep. Flecainide has never improved this scenario and my EP has advised me to stop taking it. I've read peoples stories on here

Bothersome side effect from afib
A bothersome side effect that I have experienced when I have an episode of AFib is very frequent urination about every 20 minutes for 1 1/2 hours. Is that side effect treatable? I understand it is caused by a fibrillating atria that releases a cardiac hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide.

New Ablation Date
Hi Thanks to all who replied, supported and advised re my previous rant about my cancelled ablation two weeks ago. My scheduled ablation 3/7/24 was cancelled a week before due to junior doctors strike knock on effects. The cardiology waiting list co-ordinator was very sorry and promised to arrange
