Coping with NSR in the shadow of Afib - tips please!
Something of a big question this, but one I’m grappling with in my life right now. Apart from a month or two early on of feeling an occasional erratic heartbeat, my experience of Afib has been almost entirely persistent. So I have not experienced the episodes of sudden arrhythmias that paroxysmal Afib

PVCS and bigeminy
Hello, new here. Not sure if I’ve posted on the right thread but I was just looking for anyone going through the same thing.

Palpitations worse after ablation
Good evening everyone, I’m really struggling after my catheter ablation 10 days ago. The palpitations and ectopics I’m experiencing are awful. So different to the palpitations I was having before my ablation. They are very erratic. I have Dilated Cardiomyopathy and AVNRT. I know it’s early days

Afib with rvr after vomiting
i wrote this on the Afib forum Hi, I am a fit 56 year old who had a migraine, threw up and ended up with afib with rvr and a sustained pulse of over 150 for 40 hours. Usual resting pulse is low 50s. BMI is 22. This potentially happened once before 10 years ago under the same circumstances but it righted

Afib and A&E - Update
Hi all, My afib came back around 3 am and it's still here after 7 h. I came to A&E, they did a chest scan and blood and I'm waiting for response. I'm psychologically destroyed by this and I fear they won't do anything because I don't have high rate, leaving me for months in this again waiting for the

Metropolo
I take 25 mg of Metropolo twice a day! I get short of breath when I do house work , my heart rate is in the 90's because I am in AFIB all the time! They are trying to control my blood pressure and pulse with this medication ! Does other people have this problem?

I usually see a dip in HR a few days to a week before ba episode. I seem to have them every 6/8 weeks with one exception in last year of

Complications of Operations with AFIB
Just read a report stating Patients with preexisting atrial fibrillation (AF) have a 31% increased risk of death within 30 days after noncardiac surgery compared with matched patients without AF. I guess my hip operation being cancelled would have been easier to accept if this had been explained

24 hour monitor
My paroxysmal AF was not picked up on a 24 hour monitor. I was checked a couple of times over a 5 year timespan and told that I just had lots of ectopics. Finally, when it became more severe the GP eventually relented and booked me in for a seven day monitor whcich picked up the atrial fibrillation

PVC/ PACs
I’m using a Kardia six lead. Virtually every single one of my ECG s is coming back PVC. Has anyone else experienced this. It started a couple of weeks ago I’m currently fighting off the remains of a chest. The cardiologist I spoke to suggested I take carvidilol for short time to see if it helps.

Tall tales
New Scientist, 11th November edition (p18) has an interesting article. Researchers at Uni of Bristol examined records of 454,000 adults and found that "... taller people have a greater risk of having irregular heart rate." Further, that those "... taller than average at age 10 were more likely as an

bisoprolol reduction
Thank you everyone for your replies. After my visit to A and E on Sunday the doctor told me to take an additional 1.25mg of bisoprolol for 3 days so now taking 2.50mg per day. I think I was a little naive but trusted the hospital to reduce to 1.25 after my cardioversion he said my heart rate was

Looking for advice on what feels like chains of ectopic heartbeats?
I used to have Wolf Parkinson White, which would occur with SVT runs and ectopic heartbeats which could be quite painful and alarming. My fear was always the ectopics, they'd cause such sudden pangs in my chest that my brain processed them as dangerous. However, it was a fast run in my sleep that then
