Newbie first post on here.
Morning all, hope everyone is well and warm this cold Sunday morning. Just thought I'd introduce myself as I've just recently joined the forum but I'm also on the bhf and health unlocked site too so here's a brief outline of my journey so far. I've been under the cardiologist for 3 years now with ectopics

cardiac ablation
my cardiologist had recommended an ablation a year ago but I choose to wait. I’ve had very few episodes on Flecinide and Eliquis. Now he’s saying my heart rate is getting too low and we need to revisit having the ablation. I’m looking for feedback from those who have had the procedure.

Back in hospital with fast atrial flutter.
I’m in my local hospital with atrial flutter (and some good old AF) at about 150 bpm (following a bypass about a week ago). This seems to switch on when I sit up in bed or get out of bed. Blood pressure is low at 94/59. It’s too dangerous to cardiovert at the moment. They’ve increased the Bisoprolol

New Here — Most Recent Arrhythmia
Hi, all — I initially posted this to the Afib Forum but just found this group, which seems more appropriate. I was experiencing episodes of tachycardia sometimes lasting up to a half hour or so. Being a non-cardiologist, my first thought was Afib and, indeed, that’s what my Apple Watch said. I ended

Dofitilide without Afib??

here’s my Christmas carol
🎤We 3 Kings of AF are; Bearing ectopics we traverse afar; Chest and neck, eyes and forehead ; Following AF route, oooohhhh; Star of AF, star of night , star with awful loss of sight , Palpitations leading , still proceeding , Guide us on to SINUS RHYTHM (🤞🤞🤞) 🎼🎹 Merry Christmas fellow

Bi Ventricular pacemaker and ICD, please share your experiences
I have been offered a bi ventricular pacemaker and ICD as a result of my history of ischemic heart disease, various conduction issues, 30% ejection fraction, slow pulse rate. It is hoped getting both ventricles to beat together will improve pumping function and my general wellbeing. The device will

Is Afib linked to anxiety ?
Hi HU'ers. This article discusses the similarity between afib and anxiety. The conclusion is interesting. [i]'Although chronic stress can affect your cardiovascular health, there isn’t enough evidence to suggest that anxiety causes AFib'[/i] I don't entirely agree with that but let's agree to disagree

Newby wondering what medicine to take for sickness and diarrhoea?
Hello everyone 🤗, this is my first proper post after dipping in and out to read your chats which I have found invaluable to settle my nerves somewhat after being diagnosed with Afib. However, I’m suffering with sickness and diarrhoea and am aware that while on the afib drugs you have to be careful what

Afib Wearables, capturing data for your EP and a helpful tool.
Thought I would give an update as to my personal study of my AF. For those that have not been following my posts, I consciously decided not to take medications for my AF so I could study the beast by trying alternatives to medications. One of my earliest thoughts was to set up a citizen science website

Aching feet at night
I’ve been taking Carvedilol for 9 months after AFIB . Had Cardioversion and Ablation but still have occasional AFIB. Now experiencing pain in my feet at night. Had anyone had the same issues and found relief?

AF and now coronary artery disease at 47. I recently had a CT angiogram and the results aren’t great. Back to being scared and worried.
So I first came on this forum with my Afib diagnosis and was terrified and depressed about the diagnosis and medications. I had good news from my echocardiogram as I had no damage at all. The last hurdle was a CT angiogram sadly I’ve not made it so well past this hurdle. I’m absolutely gutted to be honest

PIP advice please
hi all some of you know my story but I’ve had PAF for 29 years about 8 times in that period. I went back in AF in August and went on regime of Flecainide, Metropolol and Apixiban. Decided to do Cardioversion end of September after being on drugs for a month. Went off all drugs after a few weeks told

Mini Oven Recommendations
I love to cook. It has always been my favourite hobby and relaxation. However, I struggle with chopping and slicing these days ..... Food processor has helped no end on this front. But my biggest problem is getting things out of the wall oven and while HM is fantastic at lifting heavy things for me

Ectopic Beats and Afib recurrence
