Atrial Tachycardia ablation
Has anyone here had an ablation for atrial tachycardia after they’ve had afib ablations? I’m curious to know if that ablation was any different than your afib ablation? I’ve had 3 afib ablations and it seems they’ve resolved the afib and flutter (knock on wood). But they’ve left me with more regular

Does AF continue to progress silently when using drugs to successfully stop AF episodes?
I was of the belief that if my low burden Vagal AF could be controlled without drugs, by using techniques to stimulate the vagal nerve then I would not need to take drugs. The advantage is I would be able to track my AF to see if it worsens over time. I saw a new EP a month ago and he understood vagal

A question on BP
I am on Nebivolol 5mg for the last 2 months. I take my BP reading about 2 times a day and have watched my pressure go down. I hadn’t had a AFib episode in over a month since on the meds. Night before last, my BP was 114/59. I then became worried it was too low, and couldn’t fall asleep. Once

Junctional Rhythm
I have had Paroxysmal Afib since 2017, and take Warfarin and Bisoprolol ( now been 5mgs twice daily for a year ). No other drugs. I have been having a lot of unclassified results on my Kardia lately. A few is normal and I always thought it was interference or similar, or me not being still enough. However

Going in For Second Ablation
Hi folks! I had my first ablation over four years ago, at Texas Cardiac Arrythmia with Dr. Andrea Natale. I wasn't able to come off my medication after, but the meds then worked to control my afib and numerous PVCs where it didn't pre-ablation. During these four years I had been taking 50 mg of Flecainide

Aspirin75mg / gnawing pain

Hello everyone I'm a woman in my 60s and was first diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib about a year ago. I've been having an episode about every 4-5 months and was prescribed Flecainide to be taken at the onset of an episode and that seems to stop it within about half an hour, luckily. Unfortunately,

Statins for paroxysmal Atrial Fibulation?
Hello Everyone. I have P-Afib which is well managed with Verapamil 120mcg. I take Ramiprimil 5mg and Apixaban. I'm lucky my Afib has remained mild once on this treatment for the last two /three years - hopefully will stay that way- providing I keep taking Verapamil. I get the odd flutter for a few seconds

Accuracy of heart monitors during exercise
When I was recently diagnosed with AF I was told by a BHF nurse that the majority of HR monitors can't give an accurate reading due to the inconsistency of heartbeats. Yet I'm often reading concerns on this forum about HR readings on fitness monitors, fitbits etc. and wonder if there is a truly accurate

hello to everyone from New Mexico, US. I am finding out more about heart issues here on this forum than from my EP and cardiologist combined! Thank you all.

How many ablations can you have?
Hello everybody hope you’re well as can be expected, With my pvcs playing up and having some tiny snippets of fast heart rate, I’m nearly two years post my second rf ablation, just thought I’d ask how many ablations you can have before your ep gives up and chucks me on the knackers yard. I’ve had very

Is there such a thing as ‘slow AFib?’
Hello all! St Barts in London have offered me an ablation! Taunton referred me to Bristol but they were unwilling because I also have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and they didn’t have a good success rate for people like me.☹️ I was then referred to St Barts and they have said they’ll give it a go.

Living with someone with Cirrhosis it's hard but must stay optimistic!
A Long story short (difficult) in February 22 I came home to my husband yellow and barely breathing but conscious. Ambulance took him to hospital and he had to be resuscitated twice as his heart stopped before being put on a ventilator he had erupted varices in oesophagus(he'd been losing blood both

Hello, long time lurker on here and thank you to all the regular posters who keep us lurkers so well informed. Sorry in advance for the long post :) My afib story started in Feb 19 and like all new Afibbers I was scared and ignorant of the condition. I am very lucky to have no symptoms and don't

Stroke Prevention Day
The Stroke Association are highlighting the link between AF and the possibility of a stroke. I can echo that, as I was cardio fit with none of the other risks from weight, smoking, drinking, but I had AF and I was not prescribed an anticoagulant. On 6 July 2016 I had a stroke. The following words

why a stress test?
Been a while cause all has been “quiet.” I have been taking Flecainide 50 twice a day, Eliquis 5 twice a day, metoprolol 15 in am and 12.5 in evening. It’s been a year. Occasional blip but nothing to talk about really. I’m 66, female, and exercise aerobically 4-5 times a week. Sleep and eat well, work
