Flying with afib
Has anyone in the group travelled abroad since being diagnosed with afib? I asked my EP and he said make sure you know where the hospital is (comforting)! Then I asked what to do if I had an episode on the flight, he said "Sit it out", scary as my heart rate goes stupidly fast when I take an attack.

Post Ablation Dyspnea (Shortness of Breath) and Skipping Beats
Hey All! My quick resume follows; Diagnosed in June 2020 with Afib. Had some but relatively mild symptoms. I was on metoprolol and propafenon for over a year. At one follow up visit, a doctor decided to cut the medication and I was medication free for a year. Then during another 6-month follow up

Apple Watch 9 new afib capability
I have no affiliation to Apple but I do really like my watch series 6 for tracking my heart rate, this new capability sound excellent (source apple website press release) First-of-Its-Kind AFib History Currently, the ECG app and irregular rhythm notification on Apple Watch can identify potential

AF for 3rd time in 26 months
Had to go to A&E on Sunday, referred by 111 as I went into AF and was exhausted and breathless. After a very long wait, the doctor told me that he had spoken to the cardiologist and I have a heart defect and another cardioversion would not work. This was despite the cardiologist telling me in April that

What's the point of taking Flecainide if it gives you flutter?
I'm wondering whether to consider packing in Flecainide as all its seems to have done is replace Afib with atrial flutter and the initial benefits appear to be waining, especially now that I'm supposed to take Bisoprolol too. Has anyone else decided to live with Afib on no drugs (other than anticoagulants

Atypical flutter ablation
My background is 3 years post stroke (probably caused by heart rhythms); 12 weeks at around 120 beats per minute and running; listed for ablation, to be undertaken at Birmingham. Letters between various consultants have now gleamed that they think its atrial flutter; that I will undergo a 'atypical flutter

Bisoprolol zombie
After initial amazing success with Flecainide controlling my Afib, which gave me my energy back for work, social and family life, I'm now in Flecainide induced flutter which is still better than Afib. However, I'm now on a very low dose of Bisoprolol (1.25mg) to prevent the risk of ventricular arrhythmia

Donating blood
Hello, I am new to this group, and I have a question. I’m scheduled to give blood in 2 days. I’ve never done this before and was wondering if it might exacerbate PVCs? Mine have been fairly active lately. I know drinking plenty of water is important before donating blood. Has anyone with arrhythmia given

Have a great weekend
So many positive, caring and kind people on here have supported and comforted me over the last few months since my AFib progressed. It was a nightmare - daily 3 hour interuptions to my life, broken sleep, anxiousness.etc. I am lucky in that I am asymptomatic but still it was a concern. I was placed on

Vein of Marshall 6 wk Followup
Because of my scheduling today was my follow up for my Vein of Marshall ablation. It has been almost 6 weeks. Good news I am in perfect sinus rhythm and have already been removed from Multaq. as of today. I have been very down because I am still having issues breathing and walking with the same type

Is your Afib regular and in between you are ok?
Does anybody have Afib regularly, say every 14 days but between that time you are ok. My Afib is not a fast heartbeat type. I am just irregular. It’s lasts about 3 days. After a night I can exercise and my heart rate may go occasionally up to 160, it goes back down when I stop. This is the only way I

Reactions to Flecainide and Amiodarone?
I am so glad to find this forum. Really validating to see how incredibly different people’s experiences with Afib are and the willingness to share. I’ve been in Afib persistently for a little over three months now. It returned several months after my first cardioversion, and hasn’t stopped except

Digoxin again (and again)
Long story but after being on digoxin for just under a fortnight I began to feel ill : violent palpitations, high heart rate, diarrhoea ( frequent) and generally feeling terrible. Consulted gp who told me it was a bug but he’d write to cardiologist and if I didn’t hear anything after ten days to phone

Atrial flutter
I’m taking 50mg of flecainide twice a day and 1.25mg of bisoprolol once a day. Played golf this morning and then prepared to celebrate (no alcohol as I’m teetotal) the jubilee by hosting a bbq for around 10. Never really stopped all day and then took my dose of flec at 4pm and around 5.20pm developed

Magnesium and afib
About a year ago, few months after being diagnosed with afib and cardiac arrest, thanks to this wonderful forum, I became a gluten free vegetarian, stopped alcohol and increased my magnesium with eating more nuts and rasberries. I have been afib free since, except for when I stopped my betablocker sotalol

25+ years with persistant AF, now possible AV Node Ablation
I am 52 live in the UK and have had permanent/persistant AF for I don't know how long as I only found out about it 25+ years ago by accident in the gym. I think they call it Lone AFib as historically I have rarely had any troublesome symptoms apart from more recently starting to get a lot more fatigued

Commercial Airline Flight Triggering Afib
Hello All — I was on a 1 1/2 hour flight this morning between Washington DC and Atlanta. About an hour into it, I felt palpitations and soon after we landed, I had a racing heart rate and what felt like Afib. I take 25 mg/day of Metoprolol to control ectopics, blood pressure medication and Xarelto

Digoxin advice again
Hi all I’ve posted a few times recently about AFib returning after Covid. I’m now on digoxin, 2 x Apixaban, and Bisoprolol 10 daily. Been in this for nearly two weeks. At first all was well, but I am now getting daily bouts of quite fierce AFib which are intermittent for around an hour. I’ll speak to
