When Do Your AFIB triggers actually cause reaction?
First, I want to thank everyone here for all the wonderful information you have provided over time, it has helped me immensely in so many ways. There seems to be a lot of discussion about things that trigger AFIB, like chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, etc. My question is: After you consume the "offender

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

Newbie
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?

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.
