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

1 year anniversary of Hybrid Mini maze
My 1 year anniversary is actually Saturday but I’m sitting in a church hall acting as a polling Clark for the police and crime commissioners election, I’ve been here since 6:15 am and will finish about 10:15 pm, that alone would of been impossible 12months ago. There’s been highs and lows over the 12months

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

Persistent afib treatment options, can't tolerate Amiodarone - so many questions...
I'm feeling rather lost at sea, I have so many unknows and questions so I'm sorry if this is a bit messy. Think I'm looking for your experiences and help with what I should ask the cardiologist about/for. BTW we live in the England so NHS. In short... Persistent new onset afib (always bradycardia) since

Return of the Duck. The Saga Continues.......
Good morning guys and gals.Hope everyone is as well as they can be. Well, here's the promised update from a couple of years ago but to be fair, nothing much had happened on the heart surgery front, I'd been in nsr and I have still been contributing replies. Settle down with a strong drink of choice,

It feels like I am having AFib symptoms.Light headed,dizzy, exhausted but not all the time. Where

A quick update for those that remember my recent posts about the Ablation complications!
Ablation 16/3, artery got damaged, 3 outpatient appointments, 2 failed attempts at thrombin infusion under ultrasound, emergency 3 day admission to hospital with emergency pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula repair (pretty major surgery involving patching the damaged artery with cow veins) . Most

advice please
I used this forum some years ago when first diagnosed and was so grateful to everyone. I need advice again, my attacks of Afib are becoming more frequent, I have flecainide as Pill in the Pocket and am using it. My query is should I try and see my GP for a EP consult or just carry on taking the meds
