Silent AFib
Silent Arterial Fibrillation in a73 year old male with a normal heart rate (between 75-85 generally). Unfortunately it's permanent! Seeking advice from others in this same boat for thoughts of what to do or what they are doing/planning on as a treatment ? One specialist say Ablation. The next

1000's of PVCs!
So about 5 weeks ago, out of nowhere, I started with PVCs constantly over a 24 hour period. It stopped the next day. It happened again 2 days later, again gor 24 hours. Then about 4 days after that, I was woken up at 4am by really strong heart flutters. I got up, went to work (I work in cardiac theatres

Ongoing nausea
I am on the full cocktail of meds for HCM and AF. Bisoprolol was changed to 6.25 mg Nebivolol 5 weeks ago due to increased PVCs which are now under control. Am suffering with constant pretty bad nausea BUT this had started on and off a few weeks before the change of beta blocker. I was having good and

cardiac ablation
my cardiologist had recommended an ablation a year ago but I choose to wait. I’ve had very few episodes on Flecinide and Eliquis. Now he’s saying my heart rate is getting too low and we need to revisit having the ablation. I’m looking for feedback from those who have had the procedure.

Back in hospital with fast atrial flutter.
I’m in my local hospital with atrial flutter (and some good old AF) at about 150 bpm (following a bypass about a week ago). This seems to switch on when I sit up in bed or get out of bed. Blood pressure is low at 94/59. It’s too dangerous to cardiovert at the moment. They’ve increased the Bisoprolol

PVC’s (ectopics) or AF?
I’m now home following a bypass about three weeks ago. Whilst I feel fatigued, I’m managing to walk 500m or so daily. My resting heart rate has come down to about 58-68 bpm. The medication which I am taking daily to control arrhythmias is Bisoprolol 10mg which replaces my former Sotalol. There is

here’s my Christmas carol
🎤We 3 Kings of AF are; Bearing ectopics we traverse afar; Chest and neck, eyes and forehead ; Following AF route, oooohhhh; Star of AF, star of night , star with awful loss of sight , Palpitations leading , still proceeding , Guide us on to SINUS RHYTHM (🤞🤞🤞) 🎼🎹 Merry Christmas fellow

Is Afib linked to anxiety ?
Hi HU'ers. This article discusses the similarity between afib and anxiety. The conclusion is interesting. [i]'Although chronic stress can affect your cardiovascular health, there isn’t enough evidence to suggest that anxiety causes AFib'[/i] I don't entirely agree with that but let's agree to disagree

PVCs again and again!
Still seem to be getting more than my fair share of PVCs recorded on my Kardia. Yesterday every hourly reading recorded SR with premature ventricular contractions. Fed up with it as I'm really aware of them. I've taken an extra bisoprolol today and am hoping that helps.....I guess I'm going to have

Metopralol tartrate vs succinate er..differences please and which is better for eptopics and flutters?

Newby wondering what medicine to take for sickness and diarrhoea?
Hello everyone 🤗, this is my first proper post after dipping in and out to read your chats which I have found invaluable to settle my nerves somewhat after being diagnosed with Afib. However, I’m suffering with sickness and diarrhoea and am aware that while on the afib drugs you have to be careful what

Afib Wearables, capturing data for your EP and a helpful tool.
Thought I would give an update as to my personal study of my AF. For those that have not been following my posts, I consciously decided not to take medications for my AF so I could study the beast by trying alternatives to medications. One of my earliest thoughts was to set up a citizen science website

Aching feet at night
I’ve been taking Carvedilol for 9 months after AFIB . Had Cardioversion and Ablation but still have occasional AFIB. Now experiencing pain in my feet at night. Had anyone had the same issues and found relief?

AF and now coronary artery disease at 47. I recently had a CT angiogram and the results aren’t great. Back to being scared and worried.
So I first came on this forum with my Afib diagnosis and was terrified and depressed about the diagnosis and medications. I had good news from my echocardiogram as I had no damage at all. The last hurdle was a CT angiogram sadly I’ve not made it so well past this hurdle. I’m absolutely gutted to be honest

PIP advice please
hi all some of you know my story but I’ve had PAF for 29 years about 8 times in that period. I went back in AF in August and went on regime of Flecainide, Metropolol and Apixiban. Decided to do Cardioversion end of September after being on drugs for a month. Went off all drugs after a few weeks told
