What is CHAD score?
2 months ago, I fainted 3 times in one day - 2 at home and the third time in the hospital lobby after being discharged from the ER. In the ER, they detected AFib and gave me cardizem intravenously. I spent the night in the hospital with a Holter monitor and no more episodes occurred. I was sent home

Question on labs….
Hey guys. Brand new to all this and not sure what I’m seeing - so hard to get reliable information out there. AST 24 ALT 18 GGT 22 High ferritin (404) Dr has raised the alarm and wants to check for hemochromatosis and alcoholic live disease. I have read that the AST ratio is high at 1.26 but all else

Diagnosed with AFIB 3 months ago & stressed out
I was just recently diagnosed with AFIB. I went to lay down and the heart just started banging in my chest like a bunch of marbles let loose. Went to the emergency room and after a cardioversion and 30 hours of monitoring the cardiologist released me. This came totally out of the blue....I am slim,

Head hit
I’m on Eliquis ( recent start) and bumped my head on the brace of a large ladder. Not a horrible hit but now worried about bleed. What to look for? Others hit head without issue/ worry? Thank you.

Feeling sad
Anyone else feel forgotten Having a moan, I was diagnosed three years ago with AFib , I am 73. This disease is the most awful thing and no one in the medical profession seems interested . I have no contact with my Consultant and my Doctors told me you have a chronic condition , learn to live with it.

President Biden - Atrial Fibrillation
I saw this and thought some people could be interested that even a President functions with health challenges. Biden is the oldest first-term president in US history, and the last comprehensive update on Biden's medical history came nearly two years ago when his presidential campaign released a three-page

Post Wolf Minimaze - 11 days - feeling great
Post Wolf Minimaze - 11 days - I am off Eliquis for life since my surgeon Dr. Randall Wolfe at Houston Methodist Hospital clipped my Left Atrial Appendage. The LAA is where blood pools during afib and can cause a stroke. What a relief to have this done. I am currently AFIB free since 2/21/20 and was

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.

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

How long usually after my burr hole surgery (on 28/6/21) for a sub dural hematoma before I can resume blood thinners for my A Fib?

Afib
Have others with ET had AFib? I haven’t noticed any posts about it. I am now taking Eliquis and 75 mg of Metropolol. I am waiting to see an electrophysiologist to have an ablation. Can’t wait as AFib is no fun and the drugs for it on top of Hydroxyurea make me feel like a zombie!! As always thank

Pulmonary embolism Treatment
Hi I’ve been diagnosed with APS as a result of having clots in the lungs (Pulmonary embolism). Current treatment is Apixaban (Eliquis) 5 mg tablet morning and night on going. I have been advised by my specialist that Eliquis may not be as effective as Warfarin. Was wondering if anyone had similar symptoms

Atenolol . . . Are there any AFers still on it?
I have been taking 25 mg a day of atenolol for the past 20 years for HBP and now with AF for rate control. I understand it's less heart specific than some other beta blockers, but it seems to work for me. And my cardiologist is comfortable keeping me on it. I'm in permanent AF, QOL is great and I

High heart rate post-ablation
I had a cardiac ablation for both AF and flutter 4 weeks ago. Recovery has been pretty smooth; one episode at 10 days where i had a heart rate of like 150 bpm for 4 hours, but it settled on its own. at 2 week check-up, EKG showed no sign of AF, but some flutter. my EP added amioderone to the metropolol

Lack of appetite and sour stomach
Hello everyone, I am currently going through something strange. I have periods where food is unappealing to me. When I try to eat, I just cannot do it. Yesterday I was able to have a protein powder smoothie with almond milk, banana, strawberries, and blueberries. Then at lunch I was barely able to
