The same old story
I’m a 75 year old male who enjoyed reasonable health until I was whisked to hospital about 6 months ago with a fib, and since then I’ve been struggling with skipped beats, particularly at night - I’d give anything for a relaxed night’s sleep. I know so many people are in the same boat, hence my heading

Should you see a Cardiologist Specialist?
After a few visits to A&E last year, commencing in June, I was diagnosed with PAF, started on Bisoprolol and Rivaroxaban, I eventually had an Echocardiogram in June this year with a report that all was okay. I have just returned to the gym and swimming this week. This morning I managed 6 lengths with

Hi I’m a 65 year old woman. A nurse. First episode of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was 2015. Started metoprolol 25 mg but after some heart pounders over the years added 12.5 at night. Had an episode of A Fib in September 5 and then November 9. Both times i went the ER, afraid of developing a clot.

2.5 years since my 3rd ablation
It has been awhile since I have last posted after my cardiac tamponade during my 2nd ablation and thought I would give an update and share the good news. My 3rd ablation went well and it has been over 2 years since I had it done. I have had no afib episodes since then. In fact I just had a heart

My Wolf Mini Maze update....
Its now been 15 weeks since I had the Wolf Mini Maze done by Dr. Wolf himself in Houston Texas (in the states). What a beautiful and exciting feeling it is to wake up and go through the day, bed over to scrub floors or do garden work, have several beers with friends or even a few cocktails, ride bike

Weight loss and exercise.
Just thought I'd drop a quick hello to you all. I hope your all safe and well. Looking for some advice on the best way to lose weight whilst living with Atrial Fibrillation. Finding it very tough to exercise without sending my heart rate into a high beat. Thanks.

Mini Miracle
I was diagnosed with Afib in late August. Had a cardioversion that lasted a week. Went on to Sotalol- kicking and screaming all the way. As of two days ago my 24/7 Afib stopped and I am in Sinus Rhythm. Dr. said it was due to Sotalol and if I stop it the Afib will return. My heart is enlarged noted

Overwhelming fatigue, chills, shortness of breath, weakness - recent labs
I’m two months into injections. Had weekly shots the first month and have had shots three times a week for the past month. I feel so awful that I can barely function. I’m short of breath,weak, dizzy have chronic PVCs and have chills most of the time. These are the same symptoms I’ve had for the last

Cardioversion yesterday. On bisoprolol 7.5 for AFib but also needed post MI. Pulse 47/54. Will pulse gradually improve over next few days?
Had stemi. Cardiac arrest and stent fitted 3 months ago. Was in continuous AFib till cardio version. Bisoprolol was for AFib but also to help damaged heart muscle heal post heart attack ( best dose for that is 10mg). So trying not to decrease it. If I stay in sinus rhythm will my pulse improve?

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 🙈🙈

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

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

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
