Meds vs Ablation
Hello all, I’m weighing the decision of meds vs ablation for my Afib. I am currently doing fine on meds, Xarelto and 50mg Flecainide 2x daily that my cardiologist prescribed. However, I am waiting on a referral to an electrophysiologist. While waiting, I am trying to learn and gather as much info

Measuring force of heart beats?
Hi. I'm Amelia. New here. Age 63. Paroxysmal AFib since at least 2015. Dx in 2018. Rx Metoprolol. Question: is there any way of measuring the force of your irregular heartbeats? Just wondering if that could explain the difference between people who don't feel their Afib and people that feel all of it

Bisoprolol
HiOn 1.25mg bisoprolol for heart failure also have LVSD, AFib and had AV node ablation and pacemaker. My pacemaker is set 70bpm hr so doesn't really go any higher than this and I believe the purpose of bisoprolol is to lower heart rate, so the question is why do I need bisoprolol when my heart rate is

Is coping with arrhythmia... "strong" or "weak"?
I posted the following in a different thread, edited a little for this post to make more sense. I felt some might not have read it there and might be interested in replying. I wonder what others' views are on "being strong" when faced with illness, well - arrhythmias in our case (for some daily, maybe

Symptoms after cardioversion
It's nearly two weeks since I had a successful cardioversion after being in permanent AF following an ablation ten weeks ago. I'm on 5m bisprolol and 200mg amiodarone daily. I'm feeling much better for being in NSR and able to do a lot more (I was very symptomatic in AF). I do still get slightly breathless

Side Effects or Arrhythmia?
How do you discern what is a side effect of a new med vs a side effect of arrhythmia? I feel absolutely terrible. I feel like I am 100 years old, am fatigued, feel super lethargic, and short of breath with exertion. My legs ache. I can't sleep. I feel super, super worn down and just physically unwell

afib and antidepressants
I am thinking of going back on antidepressants. I have had two catheter ablations for afib with my last one being one year ago. I am experiencing ectopics now and may need to go back on Sotalol if I drop back into afib. Is it safe to take antidepressants with Sotalol or other anti-arrhythmics?

More questions
First question: I had an episode of atrial fibrillation Friday morning. Usually, when I have an episode, I feel normal after it stops. I took a flecainide and it stopped after a couple of hours, but I felt bad the rest of the day - as if I were still in afib, without the pounding heart. I took a couple

paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
I have been diagnosed with AF and slowly getting my head around it all. I’m on blood thinner rivaoban and sotalol and rampril. I’ve just head a letter from cardiologist from our 3 monthly catch-up and noticed on diagnosis he has also put on preserved LV function, any of you lovely people know what that

Support please 🙏
At my wits end now. Hoping to get a little reassurance from this amazing group of people. I had a catheter ablation on 16th May first one and have now developed atrial flutter. Which I understand can be common. I have had 2 cardioversions in the last 10 days which both lasted 24 and 48 hours. I'm back

Lightheadedness after AFib episode
A few weeks ago I posted about not being given any medication to shorten my AFib attacks and received many useful replies. Thank you all.. Since then I have sent my ECG readings to my cardiologist and 2 weeks ago I was started on 50 mg Flecanide twice a day with instructions to take another 50 mg one

Anti-arrhythmics and NeuroPsychiatric Symptoms
Anyone have experience with the antiarrhythmics and neuropsych symptoms (anxiety, depression, agitation, etc.). I stopped flecainide for that very reason and am suspecting the same now with propafenone. Has anyone else experienced this side effect?

hi everyone or admin if you see this i Have just come off the phone to my EP and he said I am in permanent afib now and therefore I can come off flecainide I meant to ask him if I should just stop or wean off them and also if I didn’t feel good should I take it as a pip, but he said something else

Hi?? best AFib BP med?
I have AFib & cll. I'm on 5mg Eliquis 2x/day, 100mg metropolol daily and ibrutinib 140mg 1x/day for cll. Counts are good but I continue to wonder which BP med is best in relation to my continuing AFib? I seem to get fatigued if I slightly over do activities. I've been reading and metoprolol seems

AFIB caused heart failure?
Hello, my 76 year old mom was hospitalized a month ago after feeling very sick and ended up having to be intubated in the ICU for a day because her lungs were full of fluid - she had heart failure with an EF of 15%. She has had afib for over 17 years and had an ablation done when she was first diagnosed

Echo results.
Hi I have afib, not usually too often but have had a few episodes this year. On all the usual meds. Have just been given an inhaler as hyperinflated patches were found on my lungs in a chest x ray. Anyway had the results of my latest echocardiogram yesterday and was wondering if you good people can interpret

Afib and Bone density supplements
I have had afib for about four years now. My latest bone density test shows osteoporosis. My primary wants me to take Prolia or some other prescription medication. My research indicates "causes arrhyhtmia" as the number one side effect. Clearly a problem for me. I have looked at several bone density

No more appointments
I had an appointment yesterday to discuss results of recent echo. Was seen by a specialist (can’t remember official title) who is a level below cardiologist - apparently does all the ground work and liases with cardiologist. He advised that as well as afib, I now have 2 slightly leaky valves and also
