PVCs, PAF and ablation
Hello everybody, I would be very grateful for advice. My problem is that after covid booster Moderna (September) I started feeling lots of ectopics (never had before). Tried deep breathing, flecainide 50 twice a day, metoprolol 25 mg but nothing helped. My cardiologist sent me to numerous tests:

Ablation update and reassurances.
Had an ablation Dec.30. Afib episodes Jan. 2-5. I felt worse than ever before but Doc said to take 200mgs amiodarone on the 5th and would schedule a cardioversion if I didn't go back into NSR in next couple days. Well, lo and behold, went into NSR on the 6th and been afib free since. I have a follow

Can you help with this Kardia ECG strip please? Kardia say it is sinus rhythm but I’m not so sure
Reported by Kardia as sinus rhythm. I wonder if it is slow atrial flutter or heart block. I have had permanent atrial fibrillation for years after ultimately unsuccessful ablations. I only take an anticoagulant but last night I was batting along at 112 per minute during a tense online chess game so

stay positive….
Hi everyone. After having A.Fib for almost two years I had a cardioversion done on the 15 Dec last supported by six months on Amiodarone. My heart rate is now in Normal Sinus Rhythm and so far all's good. Had the Bisoprolol reduced from 3.75 twice a day to 1.25 twice a day and feel a lot more comfortable

Travelling with Afib
Hello all. I've had 3 episodes of paroxysmal afib, each time reverting back to sinus rythym in a few hours. I've had a normal 24hr monitor and echocardiogram, but I do have pre-existing CAD with 5 stents. Since the 1st episode I've taken edoxoban and my bisoprolol has been increased from 5mg to 6.25mg

Need to restage cancer
Due to being castration resistant and PSA rising while on Xtandi/Lupron, his MO says she needs scan(s) to restage his cancer. The problem is that my husband can't tolerate lying on his back for the duration and/or keep his arms raised above his head. He tried to have a PET scan last year but had to cut

Study says orchiectomy has higher risks for fracture than chemical castration. I wonder why.

No more multiple PVCs after daily sauna
I am a 58 years old male. I went into cardiac arrest almost 2 years ago when I was rapid afib. I now have a pacemaker defibrilator. Thanks to my diet,rich in potassium and magnesium, I have been afib free most of the time. Though at times I still had multiple PVC's, bigeminy usually at lunch time.

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

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

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

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
