Cardioversion number five

This is getting ridiculous. One month after my last I've just come back to my marvellous big teaching hospital (again) and been cardioverted back in rhythm within 2.5 hours of arriving!

But this is getting silly now..... Can't keep going through this....

Hello Jajarunner,

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this, it must be really frightening and I hope that you feel better soon.

I think that you probably meant to post this on the AF forum though.

Just wondering if you ever followed up on the suggestions made to you here regarding getting your thyroid lab results and other tests. Low T3 is a risk factor for Afib as is high T4.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/164...

Cardiologists at a teaching hospital should be aware of the influence of thyroid hormones on cardiac dysfunction.

Hi and thank you for replying. My GP has slightly reduced my thyroxine as it was slightly high and I was feeling so fatigued. I'm now taking 100/125mcg alternately rather than 125. I haven't actually got the readings as I still don't have access to my medical records. It's due to come through any day and tbh, with all the 'excitement' of yesterday I'd forgotten about it. When I get those I'll post them on here for knowledgable comments. Thanks again for taking the time to answer x
