PVC nightmare
PVCs are weird heartbeat sensations. Fluttering, pounding , flipfopping….had them for 20 years and recently learned how to deal with them. But they’ve gotten worse lately. Had testing including ekg, stress test, etc. All good. That’s reassuring until I have another attack. It is crazy making and I feel

A ‘Normal’ Day
Hi everyone, I’ve had a journey on bisoprolol so far and I can’t at this stage say I’m completely happy with the medication nor whether I am tolerating it all that well. I still feel like my breathing is quite laboured at times and keep petrifying myself with google searches that I have given myself

Cryo ablation
Hi All, After my first cryoablation for af last year my EP told me that he didn’t manage to get it all during the op as he didnt have all the equipment he needed at the time. Thankfully I’ve not had any episodes of af post ablation but do get a fluttering sensation a few times a week which can sometimes

Ablation for a 78 yom
I am a 78 Tom. Healthy other than cardio issues of afib. In 2017 I had an ablation which worked for two years. Then sporadic AF for a year. This year (2021) AF back with pulse rate of 162. The controlling med, Amiodarone was prescribed for six months. With the AF I had premature ventricular contractions

Bisoprolol
Just to say my 1.25 Bisoprolol took about a month to kick in. Its worked very well on my PVCs so far.

PVCs
I have PAF and due my first ablation at the start of September at Barts. Last night I had a PVCs for the first time . Am I right in thinking that this type of ectopic is the dangerous type ?

Doctor checkup yesterday
After being forgotten in the exam room ...1 hour later nurse had to locate the doctor, who wasn't even in the building...... anyway, found that my echo and blood work to be very good. I was told...and I kind of thought this as well, that what I was feeling in my chest were pvcs...not Afib. Not concerned

Bisoprolol - side affects.
Hello all, I hope you are keeping well. I am on a very low dose 1.25mg of Bisoprolol to help me cope with PVCs, I have a sinus arrythmia, junctional rhythm, PVC's and suffer from bigeminy - I'm very aware of every skipped beat I have and the anxiety of it all was really taking it's toll hence the medication

I’m going crazy
Backstory: have had occasional heart palpitations since I was 15 years old. Changing in frequency and feeling. I turn 23 tomorrow and have never felt this bad. I’ve had tons of ekgs, echos, holter monitor, blood tests, you name it. Been to a few cardiologists that have told me my palpitations are benign

PVC’s or ectopic beats
Hi, I was diagnosed with paroxysmal afib at 43 in 2017 and had catheter ablation in March this year. Afib returned for a couple of hours twice but was in the 3 month blanking period so was ok. Stopped the flecainide and verapamil 2 months after procedure as advised by surgeon and need to say it feels

I’m feeling really lost right now. PVCS, junctional rhythm, ventricular bigeminy
I’m feeling so disheartened and deflated recently. I starting suffering from shortness of breath at the beginning of the year which I believed may have been anxiety induced, I also had chest pain upon exertion eg. Putting up my Christmas decorations. I should mention that for the last 5 years since

Arrhythmias/Heart Failure ... this ECG please?
My EF is 27% and I am plagued with either
Ventricular
Tachycardia
or Atrial Tachycardia, lasting hours sometimes. Recently been in hospital (short stays) when Troponin up and then down again. This happened late on Friday afternoon and of course, there's never anyone to ask.

Amioderone for PVC's
Hi I have had pvc's for 45 years now and none of the drugs that were available that many years ago were effective. I have heard of a drug called Amiodarone which is getting good reviews for safety and effectiveness. Is there anyone out there who has tried this? Regards Cliff in Western Australia

Do you get weird signs or symptoms before an arrhythmia starts?
Just curious if anyone gets a weird feeling/sign/symptom before their arrhythmia starts? The doctors believe I have some form of SVT. Been trying to catch it for years. But after many failed attempts at event recorders etc they finally put in an implantable loop recorder. I was diagnosed with inappropriate

When you are better and then worse
I think I was doing better over the last few months and then my doctor sticks me on Lexapro an I get an ear infection (unrelated but at the same time) These two actions have thrown me way off. I am off the lexapro but it really made for a tough month and the ear thing was taken care of by ENT. I am
