Permanent afib and ablation
Hello my husband has been in permanent afib for 5 years. He has had 2 cardioversions and one ablation. Never put him in normal sinus for even a minute. He recently had prostate surgery and because of hospitalizations he was without his digoxin for 2 doses. He has an ICD that is intended to shock

Advice needed! Anyone had amplatzer procedure?

Need advice. Back on A fib but feel really good!
I am a 68-year-old male that was diagnosed with a fib about five or six years ago. First it was a flutter that went into a fib. Had one ablation for a flutter and two ablations for a fib. They did not work this is when I lived in New York. I want to Dallas 4 years ago and instead of going the ablation

Weaning off Bisoprolol
Hi there, Anybody else experienced difficulties weaning off Bisoprolol? I am nearly 12 months post ablation for VT and PVCs, despite a turbulent time, my ablation has been deemed a success. I have just dropped my final dose of 1.25mg ( I was originally taking 10 mg) which I have weaned off over the

Afib and High Altitude
Has anyone had problems going to high altitude with treated Afib? I live at a mile high but often visit an area that is closer to 10,000’ elevation. When I was not on any medication I was advised to not go to the higher altitude because of increased stroke risk. Now I am on Eliquis twice daily so I

AF Fraud? And has anyone found UK support for Afib diet?
Well, I joined this list a couple of months ago just after my GP told me I had AF, and appreciated your responses to my posts. It turns out he was wrong and what I have is episodes lasting several days of a high burden of ectopics (with runs resulting in resting HR up to around 130bpm) mostly PACs and

May the Fourth be with me!
Headed to my fourth ablation today after many deliberations. Cardioversion took care of an atrial tachycardia episode back in February. Per EP’s instructions, came off metoprolol and flecainide four days prior to today … and amazingly no Afib or flutter. In fact, feeling quite well. So wondering if I

AFib, Post Ablation, & Sex
I haven't seen this topic here and I don't know if it's within the guidelines but here goes: What relationship have folks here experienced between sex, Afib, and the post-Ablation period? When my Afib started, there was some correlation between having episodes after having had sex. Apparently, sexual

I just bought an Apple watch 7. The ECG shows that I am in sinus rhythm and sometimes AFIB. Majority is in Sinus rhythm. I do have afib and a stroke last December. I have changed my lifestyle and diet and lost so far 25lbs and got another 18 to go to my ideal BMI. Does the fact that the Apple watch

Atrial Flutter corrected in time to prevent more serious heart problems
While I was seeing my VA Oncologist during a scheduled appointment, he and my wife noticed that I was not being as responsive to my surroundings as normal. He listened to my heart through a stethoscope and then took me into another room across the hall for an EKG, where it was discovered that I was

Amiodarone after ablation
I am four week post ablation. A week afterward, I had an afib episode that had to be treated with cardioversion even though I was taking 120 mg of TR diltiazem. A second episode began a week later and they told me to start 200 mg of amiodarone, which has big side effects on many and takes six months

PVCs have made me almost bed bound at 32
I’m hoping to feel less alone with this. I’m 32 years old, history of VSD as a child, and two weeks ago I was running 5k and weight lifting 6 times a week. I started off with just one or two “episodes” of ectopics when working out (these are a few seconds long with many ectopic beats). These have increased

10 days afib now finished HR too low?
After 10 days of seeing heart rate mainly over 100 but zooming up and down, it is now on the 50s and little energy to move. Presumable the Bisoprolol working too well. Is this normal? I am not faint or dizzy
