An Update to Tokyo Update
It's 5 months today since my mini-maze with Dr Ohtsuka in Tokyo. Yippee !!! 🎂 I will save the song and dance for the 6 month milestone, save to say that I am in NSR each and every day for the whole day. I take zero medications and do not require an anti-coagulant as my left atrial appendage was removed

Variations in persistent Afib
My resting heartbeat has remained fairly constant (85 - 90) since I went into persistent Afib around 6 months ago. My symptoms, however, are very variable. I get the chest full of frogs sensation from time to time, just like those with PAfib. And some days I have good energy at least half the day without

Advice please!
Hello! I’m after some advice please in relation to an ongoing heart rate issue that’s causing me to worry! I’m a 41 year old male, not overweight and I don’t smoke. We were sat at work and all decided to check our heart rates on our watches. Mine went from 98bpm then down to 43bpm which I thought

when a tablet is not THE tablet
Before I tell My story I just want to make the point that I am sensitive to all Meds. I was diagnosed with Perm. Afib 5 years ago and tried on several Anticoags. before settling with Eliquis (apixaban) as the one I could tolerate. I have taken Eliquis for the last 5 years without any issues. In January

YIKES-no Flecainide for 5 days
My ablation is in 3 days and my EP had me stop taking Flecainide 5 days prior (but I'm to remain on Eliquis until day of procedure.) I must admit I've been nervous stopping the drug. I'm moving slower, doing deep breathing throughout the day, removing any stress. I have had 3 episodes of Afib since

Counting the days to an ablation for Focal Atrial Tachycardia
Tanta Anna follow up! Has anyone had this type of ablation? It’s my sixth ablation! This has been an awful experience for the last four months- now weaning off atenolol, which may be feel very ill. Stayed on that medication after many other trials. I am in the US, traveling 1000 miles to Dr in

Ablation Booking
I saw my EP last week and told him I have not had a single AF episode since starting the meds over 4 months ago. I am taking Flecainide (50mg) and Diltiazem (60mg) twice a day without any side effects whatsoever. I put to him that I wanted to go off the meds as an experiment to record for any changes

PVC Ablation offered.
Good morning everybody I hope I’m finding you all ok and not too bumpy. I have now been offered an ablation for my annoying pvcs, I have to stop taking bisoprolol two days before procedure, I just got told to stop taking them. I’m sure my ep knows best, my ep thinks the beats are originating in the right
