Am I now in permanent AF?
Just a brief introduction , I have been suffering from AF for about 5 years and after 3 ablations ,1 was for flutter, I was getting episodes every 2 to 3 weeks usually lasting 4 to 6 hours. These episodes are usually terminated by PIP flecainide and metoprolol . I’m used to them now and basically ride

2 year old won’t wake post BM

May the Fourth be with me!
Headed to my fourth ablation today after many deliberations. Cardioversion took care of an atrial tachycardia episode back in February. Per EP’s instructions, came off metoprolol and flecainide four days prior to today … and amazingly no Afib or flutter. In fact, feeling quite well. So wondering if I

Edoxaban dangers
Yesterday, 28 Mar 22, I received a letter from my local surgery stating that a review of my medication had taken place by a consultant cardioligist and that I was being moved from Apixaban to Edoxaban as it was cheaper and was not detrimental to my health. It transpires On my medical records had been

AFib, Post Ablation, & Sex
I haven't seen this topic here and I don't know if it's within the guidelines but here goes: What relationship have folks here experienced between sex, Afib, and the post-Ablation period? When my Afib started, there was some correlation between having episodes after having had sex. Apparently, sexual

Can a TENS device help with mood and pain relief?
A TENS device has a pad which is attached to your body. Small electrical pulses are sent to the affected area which can either distract you from pain or even dismiss it completely. I tried it for Auto Immune Encephalitis and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It's relatively early days as we've

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation - TENS type machine
Hello all - I have read good things about the above for lupus related fatigue. Does anyone have any recommendations for a machine ? I know about the exercises etc, but am more interested in treating the fatigue using a TENS type machine. I'm in the UK

First degree AV block - can it be caused by bisoprolol?
Hi All, This morning I did a ‘random’ Kardia (6L) ECG and it came back that I was in sinus Rythm with wide QRS. It was a one off and five mins later I did another one (and many others since) and all in normal SR. I sent it off for a clinician review as I’ve been worried about it all day and they’ve come

Lyme Disease can cause AF & much more!
Hi Guys, just a short timely message to check for tics if you have been outside in long grass or heathland. LD can trigger an irregular heart beat. The following is the best I've read in a while https://heartmdinstitute.com/health-and-wellness/lyme-disease-symptoms-prevention-treatment/

10 days afib now finished HR too low?
After 10 days of seeing heart rate mainly over 100 but zooming up and down, it is now on the 50s and little energy to move. Presumable the Bisoprolol working too well. Is this normal? I am not faint or dizzy

The importance of speaking to the right person & being persistent.
Well I went back into AFib 9 days after CV. Tachycardia, breathless ,light headed. I phoned the Arrythmia nurses number & was told it is a shame it didn't work but to get my Gp to do an ECG & send it to email.They would look at it & go from there.Probably decide to do a 24 monitor & see me in clinic.Waiting

Not to complain, but . . . maybe I need some reassurance?
I had a rough time in the recovery period from my cryo ablation at the end of June last year, after a promising start. Then, since October last year I've had a lovely period without any major problems. Sure, I'm sensitive now to whatever my heart is doing, and when I lie down in bed I can feel my heart

Coming off drugs b4 ablation
I’m on amlodipine (Ca channel blocker) and metoprolol (beta blocker). Plus flecainide (Na channel blocker). All fairly low doses. I have to come off them before my fourth ablation for four days so not looking forward to that. Anyone experienced withdrawal symptoms doing same?

Tens Machine
Hi, I have endometriosis and adenomyosis and pretty much in constant pain. I am already on pain medication and morphine. I was looking into getting a tens machine but I don’t even know where to begin looking. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you in advance 😊

How do you know it's adeno flare not something else? So much pain!
Hello ladies....hope you're not suffering too much today. 💕 My question is - how do you know it's an adeno flare and not something else? (I'm a wee bit scared right now). I'm on day 7 of my period - still bleeding bright red blood, medium to light in flow, but that's not overly unusual. My back pain

Post op puzzlement
I had a
nerve
block
for the surgery and wonder if the swelling & numbness is a result of it. My Dr. did not prescribe physical therapy. He just said work back into walking based on a pain tolerance. Just feeling frustrated and confused. My daughter says the slow recovery is tied to my age, 72.

Here is the update after consultant visit. As PMR pro suspected I have now been put on Alendronic acid, a liquid bottle of 70mg made up with 30mg water to 100mg weekly due to recent DEXA scan. She did say she didn't think my scan was bad as I am just past menopaused and many women are at this point without
