A new experience!
Well I’m baffled! I had my third cardioversion (alter 4 ‘failed’ ablations) a week ago today. I then enjoyed 4 days of NSR but on Sunday evening, my Kardia suddenly told me that the arrythmia had returned. Disappointment yet again! My heart rate had gone up to 125+ bpm and I was registering Possible

Persistent and Permanent Atrial Fibrillation
Approximately one month ago I introduced myself to this forum. I greatly appreciated the warm welcome and the helpful responses I received to my post. I've returned with hopes of receiving some feedback from any members who have persistent or permanent Afib. I believe I've done as much research as

3 years post successful PVI RF Ablation
Had my three year check up, ECG, Holter monitor, PM diagnostic, echo and full bloods.All good. No AFIB since ablation. BP good. PM has many years left. Only meds 15mg zarelto and 40mg micardis. Still have not got back to as much energy as I would like, maybe just getting old.

changeover to Dronedarone
Diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib in 2022, on 2.5 mcg Bisoprolol only until last week. Had only few AFib episodes( 4 in a year) and found beta blocker increasingly difficult to tolerate, especially nausea. Saw an EP cardiologist last Monday who suggested to stop my Bisoprolol , take nothing for 24 hours

Flecainide (again)
Very interesting post by FraserB earlier. My problem is the opposite. Cardiologist raised my dose to 100mg x2 per day after being on 50mg x2 per day for a year and a half. After the third dose of the 100mg 2 hours before bed I felt terrible. The 2nd dose in morning I felt good with no reaction. Was worried

Eliquis and AF symptoms
Hi all, I've been following the posts on this forum and have received helpful feedback re blood thinners and AF. I was recently diagnosed with AF and was put on Eliquis, which I've not yet started because of what I heard about the side effects. I have bradycardia and experience flutters and lightheadedness

Hydration (again)
Following yesterday’s post, I’m puzzled why we need to obsessively drink so much water for good cardiac health if we have atrial fibrillation and take anticoagulants. I try to drink 2 litres a day but it’s becoming very inconvenient, because of urinary frequency, urgency and nocturia. No gp or consultant

Pulmonary Vein Isolation
What has been the experience with pulmonary vein isolation I am seriously considering it. Risks? Results? Recovery time? I am 84 Permanent afib that no longer responds to cardioversion. The Electrophysiologist told me 70% chance for results but may not last longer than 7 months. If I do not elect

Anyone on anything a bit unusual and helpful? Any off-label or off-patent drugs?
Curious if anyone is, or has been on any drugs that aren’t the current “big ones”? I was reading a book about cancer and the common re-use of older drugs and off-label prescriptions to create a treatment stack (such as using statins, H2blockers, metformin etc) and it made me think hmm afib is also often

Is this atrial flutter rather than sinus rhythm as reported?
6 years in permanent AFib after failed ablation for AFlutter If yes, is this a known problem with Kardia?

Flutter and Flecainide
I had a prescription renewal with my doctor (GP) and during our conversation I mentioned that a few weeks back my flutter kicked up for approx. 1/2 an hour then back to sinus rthymn. I said if it does more often in future what would be the next step. He said he could prescribe flecainide as PIP. Currently

Lopressor
Persistent Permanent Afib. Any alternative to Lopressor??? Titrating to control heart rate 100mgm twice a day too much which is my Cardiologists goal 100mgm in am and 50mgm in pm too much. 50 in am and 50 in pm not enough. Was fine on 25/25 but that was when I was in NSR after cardioversion for

Follow up after cardioversion
Hi all, I had my first cardioversion in February. It was done privately as I was in a ‘holding pen’, according to my GP. (Waiting to see a cardiologist ) I was in continuous AF for six weeks, for the first time. Anyway, this procedure was successful and I am now two months in. No alcohol and no caffeine

I Too Have Persistent Afib
I too am in persistent afib (Bradycardia) with no symptoms. I was taking Amiodarone medication which caused internal bleeding. The result was blood in my urine. My cardiologist switched me to Eliquis medication, 5mg at 10AM and 10PM and I no longer have blood in my urine and my Bradycardia is under

Benefit of coherent breathing
Before PMR, I was experiencing bouts of arrythmia. Even on controlling drugs, it still occurred about every 25 days. At the start of PMR, I was diagnosed with moderate Aortic Stenosis. A symptom of Aortic Stenosis can be arrythmia. I was told that my condition would deteriorate and so regularly monitored
