Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
I caught a bad cold (tested negative for COVID) in November 2022 and on the day that started, I went into AFib. I wasn’t given any treatment because I was already on Warfarin due to my aortic valve replacement in March 2015. I finally saw a consultant about the AFib in May 2023 and was put on Isosorbide

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

If you have Vagal AF should you be identified when they join the forum?
If you search types of AF on the web you are given 4 types, Paroxysmal
atrial
fibrillation
,
Persistent
atrial
fibrillation
, Long-term
persistent
atrial
fibrillation
and Permanent atrial fibrillation. These are not types of AF, they are stages of AF.

heart attack caused by atrial fibrillation
He was diagnosed with heart failure and
persistent
atrial
fibrillation
. We understand that normally blood clots from AF cause strokes but as they could lodge anywhere in the body could the heart attack (NSTEMI) have been caused because of an AF generated blood clot?

supplements for a fibs???
Has anyone here used magnesium or L arginine for atrial fibrillations? If yes, and you had good results, what were the dosages and how often daily? Thank you.

Paroxysmal atrial tribulation

Paroxyzmal SVT, Only when Eating
Going on 2.5 years since ablation for Afib and doing great, though a new arrhythmia has surfaced apparently. I get short runs of atrial tachycardia,...more than 3 consecutive PAC's, but fewer than 10 before reverting to Sinus Rhythm. Happens only while actively chewing/swallowing food. Swallowing

Update on Covid/AF
Hi all, Last week I reported that despite my daily dose of medication (60mg x 2 Diltiazem) I was consistently going in and out of AF due to COVID. I increased my Diltiazem by 60mg as (PIP) to try and eliminate/reduce the episodes. However, I found despite helping, this was exacerbating my AF - episodes

pace and ablate
I lost my first post so I hope Im not repeating myself. Im a 63 year old woman with persistent AFib since 2020. After 2 years medication wasnt holding me and I could barely walk to the front door. Changed GP and cardiologist. 3 failed ablations later and I know in 2 weeks he will suggest pace and

Update!
I was scheduled for a Pulse Field Ablation at the end of the month, but my Afib this week was going on for 36 hours so I was told to go to the ER. Fortunately, my doctor told me he would try to fit me in on Friday.....which he did. I am very relieved that it is over and I am home with very little

Dealing with an AFib episode without meds.
I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal AFib by an Energency Dept Consultant who ordered certain tests to be done in the future and sent me home with Anticoagulants. I wasn’t given any advice on how to manage an AFib episode or a follow up consultation just a letter to say my test results were OK.A year later

Heart rate smart watch
Hi,I have a 2 lead pacemaker for total heart block following AV ablation and 2yrs later since the procedure I'm in heart failure & afib and take ramipril, bisoprolol, dapagliflozin and having a few issues, which has resulted in me having to attend the pacemaker clinic 3x in last 3 weeks. I struggled

Detecting undiagnosed AF
I'm a stroke lived-experience person since 2016 and, I've had atrial fibrillation / flutter that started years before that. Intially paroxymal, later becoming permanent. I was the subject of a paper (available on the Internet) on pulmonary toxicity (aka cryptogenic organising pnuemonia) secondary to

Could Afib rhythm on Kardia be misinterpreted
At the end of April I received my 14 day Zio report that showed very frequent rhythms of supraventricular ectopies and no AFib. Most heart rates averaged below 100. A few weeks later I used my Kardia on 1 lead which showed sinus rhythm with supraventricular ectopy at 64 BPM. 1 minute later I used

Enemas for constipation
I am taking flecainide and bisoprolol for my afib. The medication is doing fine but I’ve got what I believe to be Pelvic Floor dysfunction. Basically one of my rectum muscles (at exit) is contracting when it should be relaxing. I’ve got biofeedback physio on Monday but wanted to know if anyone has experience

Advice please re steroid dose following fall, facial lacerations, broken nose etc…
Hi all, yesterday I stupidly trotted across a road, my leg gave way and I ended up sliding across on my face, hitting my cheek/nose on the kerb. Been to A&E, all sorted apart from sore shoulder which is a little better today. The pain feels very specific in that I feel it only in certain positions or

How is AF and Heart Failure linked?
Although the term heart failure can sound ‘scary’ it does not mean that your heart is about to stop working! Although heart failure can be a serious condition, it only means your heart is not working as efficiently as it should be and that it needs a little help to make it work better. For further
