Paroxysmal Afib, longest episode before seeking help?
I’ve P-Afib and usually get an episode once a month or so usually lasting anywhere between an hour and 24 hours? My GP’s approach is a “pill in pocket” when I feel my heart racing and I take a 1.25mg Bisoprolol tablet which brings my heart rate down a little but obviously does nothing for the irregular

Health Anxiety - It will create physical symptoms!!!
I guess it all started about 10 years ago. At the time I was a fairly new firefighter/paramedic. Saw all kinds of bad stuff, cancer, emphysema, heart attacks you name it. Without going in to too much detail let me just say that since 2010 I have self diagnosed (thanks to Mr. Google and my anxious mind

Want to mange this thing!
I had catheter ablation for supraventricular Tachycardia in March and second one in June. Was told 2nd ablation would fix me, as the Electrophysiologist now knew what to do/where to ablate and would use special mapping equipment and higher powered catheters. He ablated SVT site and found a Flutter site

Eliquis
Today I saw a new TV commercial for Eliquis.

A blood thinner. Many on the forum have reiterated at different

Re-introducing caffeine - is it a good idea?
I was diagnosed with PAF about 3-4 years ago and at the time the Consultant Cardiologist suggested that I switch to decaffeinated tea/coffee etc. This I did (rather reluctantly at the time as I do like my cappuccinos! i). At the same time I decided not to drink any alcohol (the most I would drink is

Dreaming and Beta Blockers
Below is copied from a Google search. For years, beta-blockers have been known to cause central nervous system (CNS) side effects, such as psychiatric conditions, bizarre and vivid dreams, sleep disturbances, delirium, psychosis, and visual hallucinations [1].22 May 2020 Following my initial PAF diagnosis

From Flecainide and Sotalol to Metoprolol
I have switched from the “plumber” to the “electrician”. He took me off from Flecainide and Sotalol and put me on Metoprolol (25 mg twice a day) and keep having Digoxin through. My energy has improved a bit and, in general, feel much better… I didn’t have the Ablation indicated by my previous cardiologist

Just Been diagnosed with PAF. Advice please.
I have just been diagnosed with PAF & already have HFpEF. I’m going to start taking Edoxaban blood thinner & Nebivolol beta blocker. Is there anyone on this combination? Do I need to be monitored at a anticoagulant clinic or not? Still processing it all.

Blood pressure meds & afib
Is anyone on Bendroflumethiazide for blood pressure along with an anti coagulant? I was on that before af diagnosed, kept my bp within a good range. With the af diagnosis it got changed to bisoprolol. BP not controlled so well, and the drug makes me feel crap even though it’s only 1.25 since earlier

pillow with built-in HEPA filter for dust mite asthma
Hi all -- Just wanted to share today's project. It's a wacky idea, but who knows, might be useful for someone, as it worked for me. This is to manage dust mite allergy while sleeping (relatively) comfortably. Previously, I was using waterproof camping sacks stuffed with fleece blankets. Inflatable pillows
