Experience with amiodarone
Hi, I have had 2 previous ablations for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and previously on flecainide bisoprolol pravastatin and apixaban. I have had episodes of AF and more recently atrial flutter. My arrhythmia nurse took me off flecainide because of the atrial flutter and put on solatol which didn’t

CCB to Beta Blocker

PVCs Way Worse

Afib induced Syncopy (collapse) any experience?
Hi, I was out gentle running, no exertion, proper warmup, and I had little notice of lightheadedness followed by an immediate collapse and out cold. I have had Afib diagnosed but have no feeling of my heart however it goes. I wasn't ill, dehydrated etc fully prepared for a light jog/run, I do mean

Sudden ‘Possible Afib’
In November last year, I had my third, very extensive and arduous ablation which also involved 3 cardioversions. I felt pretty rough for quite a while afterwards, much worse than the previous two, but I have enjoyed 10 weeks of blissful NSR. My heart rate has been 50 - 60 bpm and my EP has reduced my

Monitor for Afib
Hi all,Having gone into permanent Afib after a covid infection with no previous history I've had a cardioversion whist on amiodarone. As far as I'm aware I'm still in sinus rhythm and now off amiodarone (thank goodness). I'm on the waiting list for an ablation. My question is it worth getting some kind

afib and chest infection
hi. My afib has been steady for around 3 months (ie no episodes). My HR runs around 52-60. I’ve started with a chest infection yesterday (can remember feeling like this for a long time) I checked my afib via Apple Watch and although it says I’m in sinus rhythm my HR is low to mid 90’s. Could this

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
