Inhaler causing A Fib
Hi everyone, On Tuesday I had an episode of a fib. It lasted 16 hours. I take metoprolol Succinate Er 25mg. The next day after using one of my inhalers Incruse Ellipta I felt kinda off. My blood pressure was quite high 148/99. The next day the same thing happened. Today I woke up and my BP was still

Suitability for catheter ablation?
Hello I was diagnosed with AF a month ago. When asked, my GP told me that catheter ablation is not really done for Atrial Fibrillation. Since many of you on this forum, and elsewhere, have had a catheter ablation, I wonder whether there were any special circumstances that made the ablation appropriate

Pulse Field Ablation
Hello Everybody, Persistent AFIB since 10/2022. 74 years. At the moment continuously in NSR post DCCV in January with initiation of Multaq (giving me some symptoms with sinus bradycardia after three week Holter Monitor use - no afib recorded but monitor showed SR/SB with rates 40-100 bpm.). Sometimes

Decision time!
Would be grateful for your views on my afib journey. Was diagnosed last November with paroxysmal afib, 2.6% burden. Burden up to 6% (from 7 day monitor in March). Have reacted badly to both flecainide and bisoprolol - fatigue, faintness, short of breath. Have been advised to have an ablation. However

Update on 5th post-ablation
Had my 5th ablation March 31st. Great for 2 weeks and then back into tachycardia with bouts of atypical afib tossed in (Kardia confirmed). Scheduled for a cardioversion May 12. Meanwhile on metoprolol and diltiazem (and anticoagulated of course). Completely idiopathic and hopefully just a blip during

Ablation update
So 8 months on post ablation I am still in permanent AFib but completely symptomless. I am back to sleeping through the night, much reduced anxiety from awaiting the next daily onset of the paroxysmal AFib, I am walking/running 4 miles a day, I have a personal trainer and am in the gym 4 times a week

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) concerns
Hi all I thought I had written and sent this but it seems to have disappeared. if you have read already my apologies. I am post ablation 3 months and doing well but finding that on my Apple Watch 4 (Bob I can see you raising your eyes to the heavens already!) I have a very low HRV of 13 which apparently

Breakfast then and now
Hi Afibbers. Had to miss a meal yesterday for cardioversion (back in NSR 🤞) hence my mind on breakfast this morning! Seeing as lifestyle change is central to Afib control and cure, I thought it would be interesting to share ideas on our first meal of the day and maybe how this has changed over time,

Pain that worsens upon movement? And triggers longer episodes of pelvic pain if I’ve been lifting or especially walking anywhere.
So, just over 3 years ago, I had a tubo-ovarian abscess, which I was in hospital for around a week with… It’s likely that this may have been caused by the coil itself and a consequent infection. Managed conservatively at the time but after repeated infections and severe pain, I was finally offered surgery

HCM - Symptoms and Treatment
Hello all Only just joined because I want to reach out to someone. Feel like I’m hitting a brick wall. So disclaimers, I have been overweight for most of my life and lifestyle could have been better. However, I was active, never ill and tried to lose some weight often. I have had a diagnosis of HCM

An Update to Tokyo Update
It's 5 months today since my mini-maze with Dr Ohtsuka in Tokyo. Yippee !!! 🎂 I will save the song and dance for the 6 month milestone, save to say that I am in NSR each and every day for the whole day. I take zero medications and do not require an anti-coagulant as my left atrial appendage was removed

Variations in persistent Afib
My resting heartbeat has remained fairly constant (85 - 90) since I went into persistent Afib around 6 months ago. My symptoms, however, are very variable. I get the chest full of frogs sensation from time to time, just like those with PAfib. And some days I have good energy at least half the day without
