About this slow heart rate
I've been a long time sufferer of persistent afib I've had the usual ablations anti arrhythmia drugs and settled quite well with rate control meds till about 8 months ago My worry is that my heart rate dips down into low 40s even 30s day and night as soon as I start doing something it will rise a bit

Life after watchman.
I was diagnosed with AFIB in January 2020. After taking eliquis for Two years I decided to have the watchman implant because of all the easy bruising and the expense of the eliquis. Am interested in knowing how others have done with the implant. It’s been four days since I got the watchman and today

Amiodorone.
I am looking for some advice on taking Amiodorone. I had a cardioversion a year ago that worked well for 6 months. Since then I have been in AF. No tachycardia, just an irregular heartbeat. It makes me feel unwell and short of breath. My cardiologist has suggested trying the cardioversion again but

30 Day Cardiac Monitor
I just got a 30 day event monitor put on today, and was just wondering anyone’s experience with it. What were your outcomes? What did it find. I had 24 hr holter monitor in the past, but of course nothing really happened to record anything, besides tachycardia. I also had a echocardiogram today. I was

Slow Afib
Anyone have any experience of this not sure if it exists even. Reason I'm asking is I'm noticing my pulse rate is fluctuating between 40 BPM and 75 BPM. When I check my Kardiamobile device it says possible afib even though the pulse rate is showing at around 40 BPM. How do I know if its bradycardia or

High Heart Rate!! What should I do?
Hi all for the past two days my HR reading have been high 120 when just sitting down but it goes higher if I get up and move around. Last night I had to take my dog out which was a bit of a challenge, could hardly walk, restricted breathing due to tightness in chest and distorted vision in left eye.

Afib and aflutter
I’m new here and looking for similar conditions and ideas to cope. I had Afib for 20 straight months. After 5 cardio and 1 ablation I finally was out of Afib which lasted about a year. Then into aflutter which has turned out to be more debilitating than Afib. Ive had cardioversions and ablation that

When Is Ablation Necessary?
I am scheduled for a Coronary CT scan tomorrow to assess the condition of my heart ahead of scheduling me for my first Cryo Ablation. All of my previous heart scans show no structural or functional issues. My question is: Since I haven't had a Afib episode for several months, have dropped 55 pounds,

Query over AF symptoms
Hi, just joined and while waiting to see GPs etc I was wondering if anyone can help. I get, what feels like to me, irregular heart rhythms but only very occasionally, like maybe 1 a month. It seems to come out of the blue and often in the evening, sometimes after exercise (fell running), sometimes not

Fourth time a char?
Quick history- cardioversion to stop first event, cryoballoon ablation to stop subsequent ones. It lasted 4 years but with Afib episodes sporadically [despite beta blocker, dronedarone, Amiodarone (not all at the same time!)]. Two more rf ablations, three more cardioversions. No longer in Afib but in

AV Node Ablation and Pacemaker
Hi Everyone, I had an AV Node Ablation and Pacemaker implanted all on the same day last Thursday 1/20/22. I was in a situation where I was having many different heart rhythms, svt, atypical aflutter and afib. I have had two MAZE procedures which worked for a while but unfortunately staying in sinus

Best treatment for sudden ectopics?
Hello, fellow AF/ectopics sojourners! I'm in Kentucky, new to HealthUnlocked. Had occasional vagally-mediated AF episodes for 10 yrs, but since covid started 2 yrs ago, I think stress/anxiety upped my episodes to weekly, and recently, every 3 days. I just started daily 12.5 mg metoprolol (2 days

Is there a common cause of afib and aura?
I have for years wondered if there is a common electrophysiological cause of atrial fibrillation and migraine aura without headache. I understand that there is a strong co-incidence of the two conditions but it seems to me that there must be a common root cause of both. Any thoughts or experiences with

Cardiologist suggests a defibrillator
Hi I had 3 HA last year. The first one damaged my left ventricle and it no longer pumps correctly. My medication hasn’t improved things because of my low BP I am on a low dose. Yesterday my cardiologist suggested I need a defibrillator fitted omg. Would love to hear from anyone who has been through this

Pacemaker and Flecainide
Started having afib about 14 years ago. After a couple of cardioversions went in for ablation . Ended up having a second . for a very long time I would go in and out without any intervention. Recently started having episodes and had to be cardioverted, but after a few days went back into afib. My Dr

AFIB and Anxiety relief
I was diagnosed with Afib 3 years ago literally to the day and have found over the last few months that episodes have become more regular but sinus rhythmm is restored by using bisoprolol 2. The time it takes to restore NSR is directly correlated to my anxiety levels. . I used to take citalopram to

Pvcs
Having severe PVC’s and looking for advice. Had them the past 3 weeks now and do get breaks from them but feel they are getting worse. Kardia constantly reads sinus rhythm with PVCs. Tend to wake up with them and they are there when I go to sleep. Have tried the breathing exercise but doesn’t seem to
