Advice please
I've had paroxysmal AF for around 3 years and my episodes are extremely erratic. I can go several months with nothing at all and then out of the blue, it'll happen every couple of weeks. I'm on Lisinopril for high blood pressure and was prescribed Bisiprolol and Apixaban when the PAF was finally diagnosed

INCONTINENCE CONTROL
I have been dealing with this problem for about four years now, so today I tried something a little different. Instead of wearing a catheter condom & bag, pads, or wrapping the pathetic, teeny-weeny minnow in paper towels covered with a small plastic bag & rubber bands, I just wore a regular condom.

Atrial clip
Anyone had an atrial clip fitted or know anything about them. I have recently had open heart surgery for leaky valve and surgeon's assistant told me afterwards we have also done an atrial clip as you have had AF in the past. From what I can see on the Internet it prevents you ever having a stroke from

Anger and depression
Here is a crazy situation I have found myself in. I am married, 58 years old on Lupron/Zytiga. My best friend is a 36 year old female that I originally met as a coworker.

Flec only
Hi Motov. I take flec daily and use it as a PIP when I get an AF episode. When originally diagnosed in 2015 I was given bisoprolo as well but could not tolerate this as it brought me to a complete standstill, my GP took me off it. Taking apixaban of course. My AF episodes settled into a pattern after

AF/VT after Covid - My Story

Apixaban and subconjunctival haemorrhage.
After taking Apixaban for 6 days (2x5mg, daily) I woke this morning with a subconjunctival haemorrhage in the left eye. Yesterday, the eye had been bloodshot and itchy; I had hoped that it was just conjunctivitis and would clear up. As I had a similar subconjunctival haemorrhage three years ago, two

Strange reactions to surgery.
I had heart surgery about 15 months ago and have had to deal with a lot of complications. A stroke being the main one. A couple of the smaller issues got buried, but I was wondering if anyone identified. I jump out of my skin at sudden noises such as the phone ringing. I also well up at emotional moments

The French Paradox - Why the French Have the Lowest Incidence of Heart Disease in the Developed World
Wine should be consumed in moderation. I drink one glass of red wine with my dinner, between 1 and 3 times per week.

New to Apixaban
Having been diagnosed with Arrhythmia, I will shortly start taking 5mg Apixaban twice a day. This causes me much concern. Will I be able to lead a normal life, eg play golf, go abroad on holiday etc and will I be able to have a couple of glasses of wine each day? I am currently a regular social drinker

Gluten free lentil pie with roast potatoes
Hi everyone, this is what I made for dinner it’s a pie with lentils onions and vegetables with a pie crust made using a crumble recipe as that’s a lot easier than making pastry that’s why it looks a bit rough and ready LOL. I sautéed diced onion in a little olive oil before adding frozen mixed veg and
