What Helps You Stay Awake During Daytime
My husband has stage 4 CRPC and has a fib so he cannot drink caffeinated coffee so how does he stay awake during the day? This is especially embarrassing during church. Any suggestions that have worked for others are appreciated.

Stopping flecainide advice needed
I suffer with SVT and idiopathic VT, for which I take 50mg flecainide x1 a day and I also take 10mg propranolol at least x2 a day. I went for an EP study and ablation last year in October but unfortunately the ablation was not possible, due to not being able to set off any SVT or VT episodes. I stopped

Guilty or not ???
Today, after a few days of increasing pain in my neck, started on left side on Wednesday this morning also right side, I have taken extra 5mg Pred without consulting my GP who has previously indicated he was happy for me to manage my medication. For about 4 weeks now I have managed with 6mg Pred, so

Post Ablation Diagnosis
I have been very fortunate and had my Afib ablation in Leicester in May. I had excellent treatment with very minimal side effects from the procedure and am back doing exercise and best of all, no episodes of Afib - so all very positive even though it is very early days. My follow up appointment is in

Not recurred in almost 5 years
I got regular bursts of self-resolving Afib since the age of 19, ten minutes here and there. During this time I was chronically low carb dieting and overexercising. My longest episode was in 2019, at age 29, where I woke up in it. Went to A&E and it self resolved about 10 hours later. Had PACs/PVCs since

Sleep and Afib
As predicted my occasional episodes of A Fib which began in 2007 has recently become more of a problem. They are now presenting differently tho. My resting heart beat is about 60bpm and whilst in Afib they are now usually 60 to 75, only rising further when I am moving about. My question is can anyone

AF - Sudden Increase To Every Night
I occasionally get a very slight twinge or spasm in my heart during some mild exertion - a gentle bike ride or lifting the hoover for example. This often kicks off an AF bout the following night. I had the twinge thing on a ride a couple of weeks ago which caused an 11 hour bout of AF, and since then

Blood pressure warning
More fun and frolics. Before I went to pamper myself in Montenegro (swimming in the sea, lounging on the Cabana) I checked my blood pressure which I do regularly and noticed a little warning sign like a heart next to my diastolic. The literature said to seek advice so I asked him in doors and he casually

Smart watch blood pressure function
I love the ECG function on my Galaxy watch and the blood pressure until I noticed the instruction not to use if on meds etc. I don't understand why it's safe for Afib but not for BP. Can anyone explain please?

afib related to drop in blood pressure
last week I had an extreme drop in blood pressure 87/50 and was unable to stand up or even sit up. Was taken to the hospital. Diagnosed with pneumonia and told that infection can sometimes cause drop in blood pressure particularly because of my a fib. It seems that because the lungs are so closely

Actual appointment face to face with an actual human!
After being sent to A&E last November by GP, diagnosed with AF and discharged with meds, then an echocardiogram beginning of March, I have an actual appointment booked with an arrythmia nurse end of July! Still a little bit in shock that I'll get to talk to someone! Came about because my GP wanted to

Troponin serial levels
I had an Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest back in Sept last year. Long story short came out of hospital a week later with a defibrillator implanted. However, my discharge letter stated that a Troponin test was done as usual I presume and the serial levels were quoted as 163 and 425. I have been curious

Now need a stent or bypass
I posted on here a bit ago that I have been tired and out of breath ever since my 5th ablation last August. My cardiologist put it down to the Bisoporol I was taking but 3 months ago after seeing him and complaining he sent me for a ultrasound scan. All was OK then I wrote to him saying I am not

Permanent AF, decision to do nothing
I’m have AF constantly since months, maybe years. My heart rate is normally in range (70/80) and I don’t have any symptoms. I conducted an active and fulfilling life. I went to the cardiologist for the first visit and he left me the 2 options: 1. Do nothing and go on with your normal life 2. Try cardioversion

Taking Flecainide with Bisoprolol
When I was first diagnosed with AF a few years ago I was told to use the "pill in the pocket" approach to terminate an episode by using bisoprolol and flecainide - the flecainide 20 minutes after the bisoprolol. Now, for the last year I've been on bisoprolol 1.25mg daily and just take the occasional

travel insurance
Hi All, Had an OHS to have an AVR in January. Recovery is going well, albeit a few PVC now and then. Planning on travelling to India in December with my wife and 2 children. I need some advice on travel insurance regarding sort of cover I will need and insurance providers that do such covers etc.
