Post ablation-1year. Having irregular heartbeats lately but rate stays around 70. Feel quivers at night lasting only a few seconds.
It has been a while since I have been on here. Had an ablation after being diagnosed with afib last July. Have had minimal episodes during first 3 months and only episodes of "skipped of beats" lately. However I have noticed quivers at night or at rest. They go away when I take a deep breath. It feels

Clarifying previous post re ELIQUIS AND XARELTO-- HOW DO YOU TEST THAT THEY ARE WORKING?

Eliquis and Xarelto for A-fib: how do you know it's working?
HI -- i've had a-fib for several years but only recently started anticoagulant: Eliquis. If anyone here takes this or Xarelto -- do you get blood tested for coagulation rate? how do you and your doctor know if it is working, being properly absorbed, or if you are in theraputic range? The research literature

Other heart problems after ablation?
I would be very interested in hearing about anyone in this group who has developed other heart problems after having an ablation for Afib. I ask because last July I had cryoblation for my Afib and was doing okay until this past March when I developed some problems: tired, out of breath when I did anything

Phrenic nerve damage
I had my first ablation April 26th and it was an extensive ablation also. My shortness of breath and dry cough were my major complaint after the procedure. Could not get a definitive answer as to why I was so short of breath. My EP came to town and I was able to see him and found I was out of rhythm

3 months post ablation follow up and stopping Eliquis in 3 months?!
My EP was happy to inform me that 2 weeks of wearing monitor did not record anything bad. My recovery was tough for the first 2 months - shortness of breath and fatigue. Then one day everything changed as if I never had Afib nor ablation. I was off Metoprolol and Flecainidine after 1 months and he

Eliquis and Diastolic Heart Failure
I've been on Eliquis for 1-1/2 months. At first I was having a problem with low blood pressure. I noticed that 2 hours after I took Eliquis (5 mg.), my blood pressure would drop considerably, e.g. from 102/68 to 90/58. Now I'm noticing a trend where the systolic number will be normal to elevated and

Too Expensive
Had my RF Ablation Wed, May 3rd. Do y'all really pay that expensive price for Eliquis? Is that forever?

2 months & still waiting for cardiologist
After a 24 hour ECG ordered by my GP in January I was told I had SVT and prescribed bisoprolol, which helped a little at first but had some unpleasant side-effects. A month later I returned and the dose was increased as I still had palpitations. A month after that it was reduced again due to side-effects

Eliquis (apixaban) sticker shock in USA - how is it in UK?
When I picked up my first 30 day supply of Eliquis I was told that it costs $420.00. After pharmacist checked with my drug insurance it came to $199.00. The first thing that came to my mind was how can so many people without insurance afford to get it. Many elderly live on Social Security check of 1,500.00

Off of Flecainide and Metoprolol just 1 month after ablation
Just to share my experience post ablation because I see I am not the only one worrying. I was kind of surprised to hear from my EP to stop both medications just one month after the ablation - cold turkey. The explanation was that I was on Fleca "only" 9 months and just a small dose of Metopropolol
