chemo and genetic testing questions
My husband’s genetic testing of the biopsies came back. It’s 19 pages and I am having a super difficult time interpreting. His Oncologist Urologist is overwhelmed with duties and we probably won’t get reviewed at the level we need. attaching the executive summary. They said he tests positive for SPOP

AFib for past 4 days
Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced being in AFib for longer than a day? And does it revert back? Usually I return to sinus rhythm If I’m only in AF for a few hours or a day but this time it’s been 4 days. Fortunately I don’t have any symptoms like I usually have apart from not being

Is the rhythm of your heart regular?
A simple pulse check only takes 30 seconds! Atrial fibrillation, also known as AF or AFib is a quivering or irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that can lead to an AF-related stroke or heart failure if left untreated. If you have AF, your heart beats in an irregular rhythm causing the blood to not

5 Days Post Ablation and getting an ECG
After three days of being extremely breathless and light headed following a cryo ablation at the JR last Friday I'm now feeling more settled, my pulse still fast and irregular but not as extreme. I had a call from an arrhythmia nurse (at last) at the JR who was very helpful. The next step is an ECG

No one died from A F
I posted earlier today . I am not now being negative , I am trying to be pragmatic . On this brilliant forum we are constantly told “ no one dies of AF “. I was wondering what actually brought on the first bout of A F to people here. Mine came on years after Mitral Valve repair . 2 long ablations

What is a cardioversion?
If you have AF you may have been offered a cardioversion, but may be unsure of what to expect? A
cardioversion
is a procedure to convert your heart from AF back into normal (sinus) rhythm. This is achieved by administering a rhythm control medication (antiarrhythmic drug) by mouth or through

High Pulse Rate and Irregular Rhythm 3 days after Ablation
I had a cryo ablation at the JR on Friday. I was expecting to be feeling better today but my pulse is all over the place, anywhere between 80 and 140, and irregular. I feel like I'm back in full-on AF.. breathless, tired and light headed. I left a message describing my symptoms with the arrhythmia nurses

New to Afib
Hi All,I'm very new to Afib after being rushed to hospital late Feb with my first episode. Currently on Apaxiban 2 x daily and Metoprolol 2 x daily. I went for about 4 weeks without another episode after the initial one, but now its a daily thing. I did a light walk on the treadmill today which sparked
