High risk from covid and pvcs.
4 months ago I started having pvcs. Some days they're occasional somedays frequent. I'm not on any meds and am waiting to hear from a cardiologist. I decided a while back that i wasn't going to have a booster jab for covid and have ignored the texts from my Dr's surgery inviting me for it. Until 5 minutes

Can anyone give me any information on AFib and sleep apnea please
I’m 59 woman in continuous AFib for last 3 months after heart attack. Noticed on occasions I’m waking up in the night to breath. Feeling I can’t get my breath. This has got worse over last few weeks. I’m a normal BMI. I’m also falling asleep at times downstairs 🙈🙈

What is the success rate of an Ablation?
It looks to me like about 50%. My doc is hell bent on trying to stop my Afib as it is non stop and he says that my heart will grow in size and I will have trouble breathing in years to come. I have not seen this noted before on any of the remarks. I have had a cardioversion, lasted a week. Now on

New Fibber
I was diagnosed with A-fib in September 2021. I have been taking Diltiazam for about two months in an effort to reduce horrible feelings from PVC’s. This, prior to a-fib diagnosis. Doc now saying Diltiazam not effective for A-fib and is going to start me on Flecanide after review of tests. I fear this

A question about Flecainide
When in first-time sustained AF this year, I was prescribed Flecainide in an attempt to return me to sinus rhythm. This did not work and subsequently I was given a DCCV which I’m pleased to say did the trick. Following the consultant’s recommendation, I am now taking Flecainide (50 mg twice a day) to

(seeking some advice) PVC's, Flecainide, and possibly another ablation.
I've been lurking around here for a while. BACKSTORY-- March 2019 bigeminy, trigeminy. I was offered Flecainide but was scared to take it because of all the stuff I'd read about. I ended up with an ablation in June of 2019. No meds everything was fine until about a month after the ablation, which I

Advice please!
Hi I am new here I have just found this forum and I am hoping somebody will be able to help me .

Watchman Device
I was diagnosed with afib only one time during a routine checkup. It was never found again. I even bought an afib detector that I test myself 3x a day. I have never had any symptoms. With that said, I realize afib is a progressive type of issue. In view that I have great cholesterol numbers and nothing

Anyone have ablation for asymptomatic afib/aflutter?
Hi. I appreciate the great answers and support from my previous question on this forum. I know the main reason for ablation is to eiminate afib, improve QoL and hopefully get off of the meds. This may be a stupid question but are there many people with asymptomatic afib/aflutter and heartrate of 70-

Can heart pounding ectopics come with pulsating head pressure?
I am new here, but have already found the site to be very informative and helpful. For more than a year now, almost daily and usually at the end of the day, I have been experiencing pulsating head pressure and sometimes a sense of dizziness. The head pulsations often seem to sync with heart pounding

Pulse Oximeters to help/predict Afib?
Hi folks, Has anyone had any success with using one of these devices to reduce the number or duration of Afib episodes/symptoms. I am about to trial one to monitor my O2 and heartrate at nights because I feel that undiagnosed sleep apnoea (perhaps below the clinical definition) may be causing or contributing
