After the elation of self converting back to NSR after a full blown episode of everyone’s favourite monster…. Afib, that lasted just over 30 hours, a mere four days later and I’m back in it and now at the same 30ish hour point and feeling dreadful and convincing myself this could be another seven day

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

PVCs and ablation
Hi I was booked for an ablation today but after an ECG it was unable to go ahead because there were no ectopics whereas with the Holter monitor I had 22% ectopics. Has anyone else had this experience? Also the cardiologist is recommending Flecainide to try to deal with the ectopics as Bisoprolol hasn

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

15 month after my first ablation
Hello, I have been diagnosed with Afib in April 2020, and had an ablation on June 2020. It took me 9 months to fully recover - in NSR all the time but I had periods of dizziness and high hearth rate. I was a recreational trail runner before all started, running 50 miles per week, stopped running before

8 week update post ablation for paroxysmal afib .
Hi all, I had a call from cardiologist/ep last night. I have been sending in alivecor readings regularly to document afib recurrance. I have my follow up appointment next Thursday. So, 8.5 weeks out and I'm continuing to have symptomatic paroxysmal afib. 👎 In fairness, I was warned about the possibility

PVC Plumbing
Hello! I’m wondering if anyone has PVC plumbing in their home? Currently living in an apartment building that was built in 2005, and concerned about possible lead in PVC. I know there are current standards, but I’m not sure if they applied in 2005.

Returning to sinus rhythm
I have paroxysmal afib and usually go back to sinus rhythm within 20 hours maximum. This time I’m halfway through second day. Rates are not particularly high but go high if I do much. What do others do while waiting to reset? I know that progression is likely to mean more episodes like this. My normal

UK Government announce that supplies of Molnupiravir and Ritonavir against Covid 19 have been secured.
Thousands of vulnerable patients could be taking ground-breaking COVID-19 antivirals this winter after the government announced deals to secure 2 new treatments. These treatments should speed up recovery time for COVID-19 patients and the most vulnerable will be eligible first, including the elderly

Could my racing heart, trembling and energy rushes be linked to AF?
I suffer from paroxysmal AF and ectopic beats, but occasionally get a racing heart (fast (150), but regular), accompanied with an energy rush, need to urinate and trembling - does anyone else experience this, too? I can go for weeks without these symptoms, but, after they occur, I'm left with an increased

Back in good old AF!!
Bugger! After three weeks barring a couple of very minor relapses, I’m back in pounding AF! Started at 1.00AM and still fluttering away. This follows on from being stuck in it for eight days straight and 14 hours in A&E where they just dosed me up with Bisoprolol, checked bloods and BP etc. and packed
