Digoxin
I was over medicated for years. Toprol xl, digoxin, and other medications for Afib, and flutters. I am 73 years old and they have reduced my digoxin to .125mg of digoxin…. From three times that amount. Since they have learned over the years that over medicating with digoxin above .125mg is a problem

PVC Help
Hi, been getting a lot of PVC’s last 3 days and really finding it difficult. Had ablation for PAF last March and had no af since but still on apixiban. The pvc’s are there more often than not since Wednesday and symptoms are kind of similar to afib, feel extremely nauseous when there. I have tried the

Hi, I am new to this particular forum having first experienced AF at the end of November last year. My normal resting heart rate was for many years around 50 and then on the 31st November I woke up to a heart rate around 120. Knowing nothing about AF I went to A&E and was diagnosed with AF and given

Dry mouth
I’m on flecainide and bisoprolol for afib since Dec 2020. They both seem to be working fine and I don’t have the usual side effects that bisoprolol gives in terms of tiredness thankfully. However over the last couple of months my mouth has become dry and painful due to ‘dry mouth syndrome’ I think.

Omicron & AFib
I hadn't been in AF for a month since my new meds (5mg of bisoprolol) but today i got a positive LFT then soon after I felt a flutter. My Kardia showed 'Possible AFib' although my bpm was only 53. Later the Kardia reading said 'Bradycardia', bpm was 49. My question is - do you think the flutter was just

Afib, Flecainide and exercise, again!
Hello, Forum, I have eventually managed to get some serious interest from the medical community after being diagnosed with afib 9 years ago. No one was interested maybe because my resting heart rate is in the low 50s, even though it goes above 210 when running. Anyhow now I'm on Flecainide (50mg x 2

Flecainide and Bisoprolol as a PIP approach for Vagal Afib?
I’ve deduced I have vagal Afib as all my episodes occur without fail late evening after eating or early morning waking me from my sleep. I take 1.25mg Bisoprolol daily and 50 to 100mg of Flecainide as a pill in pocket. The Flecainide stops Afib in its track usually within one to two hours but I find

Post cardioversion question
I’m just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences to me? I had a few AF experiences before going into persistent AF in September, having a CV a month later, which got me back into normal rhythm. Since then I’ve had a few moments where my heart went into Atrial Flutter, showing 170bpm and

Second ablation
I am also struggling with having a second ablation. While propafenone is stopping the AFIB, it is causing causing fatigue and weakness which is affecting my qol. I can not take anticoagulants so I have had Watchman device, pacemaker, and a first ablation. It was very successful for several years.

Afib once and done?
During a check-up back in October of 2020, I was found to be in afib. I was immediately put on Eliquis. Since October of 2020, I have never experienced another afib event. I was non-symptomatic when it was discovered and continue to be nonsymptomatic. I bought a Kardia device and check for afib 3x a

Ectopics, estrogen and covid boosters
Hi, I haven't been here in a while but thought I would share my journey so far and have a quick moan 😉. I developed PVCs back in April, 4% load. Learned they were benign but was offered flecainide and atropolol if I wanted to try. That was a drug too many for me and I got cold feet. By this time I realised

8 months post ablations update
Hi all ending the year I just wanted to post a brief summary how things have developed since my ablation in April 2021. I think my recovery has followed a similar pattern as described by many others on this site. I have phased out meds approx. 6 months after surgery. I did not have any episodes since

Are these symptoms an AFib episode or very frequent ectopics?
Had cardio version in November after being in continuous AFib since July when I had heart attack/cardiac arrest/stent. So in sinus rhythm. Then this last week every morning frequent ectopics/missed beats. Yesterday ectopics started really badly. I’m not sure if it was the ectopics (every 3/5 beats) or
