I diagnosed with Flutter end of June 22 after a couple of trips to A&E. prescribed Edoxaban 30mg with Bisosporol 2.5 daily reduced to 1.25 mg daily as I already have low BP. Episodes of possible Flutter are happening at least once a week. I do have etopics apparently and one ECG showed narrow tachycardia

nefopam and acute angle closure glaucoma
Hello, I am a health care worker and I have just been diagnosed with arthritis in my hips. My gp has just prescribed nefopam and since starting them I have not been able to sleep. I have acute glaucoma and I am worried that taking this medication might damage my eyesight further. Has anyone else had

Unusual AF episode
I went out to post a letter this afternoon and was out for about 15 minutes. On my return I experienced what I thought were ectopics with some very mild chest discomfort. I took a 1lead Kardia to check and was surprised to see the "Atrial Fibrillation" indication with a heart rate of 93bpm. The AF

Stroke risk overstated for healthy people with AFib?
I am not on an anti-coagulant, and was trying to find out what the actual risk of stroke is. There's another afib forum called afibbers.org whose leaders don't believe that otherwise healthy afibbers need anti-coagulants, and that the 5X stroke risk that is cited really only applies to older people

My first cardioversion. Couple of questions. Thanks.
Oct 10 having a cardioversion for Atrial Flutter. Its been bothering me for about 2 years. Fairly well controlled with • DilTIAZem (Eqv-Tiazac) 180 mg/24 hours oral capsule, extended release but still feel extremely fatigued sometimes so I am finally going to take the cardiologists recommendation.

A tale of caution.
My FIL, whom also has AFIB, was recently switched from warfarin to xeralto. He did not tolerate it well, so while waiting for a Dr. appt to find something easier, he decided...without informing anyone, to reduce the dosage by half. Bad idea. He suffered an ocular stroke and has lost the sight in his

ablation report
So, I arrived at the Golden Jubilee Hospital in Glasgow at 0730 this morning. I was called in to a room in ward 2c where I donned a rather fetching but rather revealing gown and filled out all the required forms. The staff were warm and welcoming and very reassuring. Around 0800 the surgeon who also

Cardioversion
My consultant is recommending cardioversion as the next step in my AF treatment, primarily in order that I can stop taking bisoprolol as this appears to be impacting on my asthma. Has anyone experience of this procedure, success rates, issues with it etc?

Arial Fibrillation and Cardioversion
I have just joined and read a lot of your posts on Atrial Fibrillation with interest ad thought you might like to hear my experiences. I woke up one night in 2016 with a pulse of 160 against a normal constant of 2016. Next morning a trip to the GP and I was immediately sent to A and E given medication

Some input from the community
Just wanted to get some of you folks opinion on something. I started my Afib journey back in 1999 and after countless Cardioversions, homeopathic regimens, anti-arrythmia dru[u]g[/u] regimens, lifestyle changes nothing has worked until recently when my doctor put me on 200mgs a day of Amiodarone.

Ablation in March, discharged in August
I am very appreciative of the support provided by this forum. I appear to be one of the lucky ones in that I had my ablation back in March at Bournemouth Hospital and it went well with a quick recovery. I have had no Afib episodes since, I was put on a 7 day monitor back in June which showed nothing

Just diagnosed AFib
Hi, I am reaching out to you because I was just diagnosed with A Fib as well as an irregular heart beat and prescribed Apixaban (and Metroprolol to use if my heart goes out of control -it has a couple of times). Can anyone tell me if I should have any concerns about Apixaban. What I can expect.
