Never ending atrial flutter/afib
Hi sorry me again. My husband is back in afib/flutter and he is now being loaded with amiodarone for yet another cardioversion. He is permanently breathless and always exhausted. He will have the procedure again in January we hope, depending on the waiting list. In the past this drug has pretty much

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??
Hi, all — not sure this is the right place to be, since it doesn’t really appear that I have AFib. 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 up going

anterior myocardial infarction
my husband had a heart attack March 2022 he had a total chronic occlusion of the lad artery, left
ventricular
systolic dysfunction, atrial
fibrillation
and hypertension. The mri showed the territory supplied by the lad was non viable so there was no benefit to opening it.

Not great news today
The end of October I had a cardioversion that failed in less than a month. I met with my cardiologist two weeks ago and he confirmed what I thought that it failed. Actually I have atypical flutter it’s not my a fib as such. He wanted me to meet with the EP he works with so today was the day to do that

Afib breathlessness
Firstly, sorry, I don`t know how to add to an old post so started this. To try and keep it short I had a cardioversion for Afib which worked for a few weeks. I was later put on bisoprolol which I really struggled to walk any distance and upstairs (Asthmatic). Many kind people on here gave me good

Medtronic monitor
my husband has a Internal defibrillator and has a Medtronic monitor. At times the lights all flash like crazy and we don’t know if this is right. The instructions don’t make any sense at all. I just want to know if it’s working ok

Should I give up taking Amiodarone
I had a cardioversion last May and was delighted that it worked first time. I took 100mg Amiodarone daily until November when I slipped into AFib again. I did a 3 per day 200mg amiodarone for one week, 2 per day and then 1 per day and this hasn't sorted it. My resting pulse is 75-80 (whereas normally

Eliquis and CBD gummy’s
I am taking 5 mg of Eliquis two times a day. I started taking 20 mg of CBD Gummies which has helped my mood and pain immensely. I did some research and read that you should not take CBD with Eliquis as it can be very dangerous causing an overdose of Eliquis. Has anyone here tried taking CBD with Eliquis

Anxiety over ectopics.

Vagus Nerve and Afib Questions
Folks, Can I test out a few elements of my understanding of the vagus nerve and vagally induced Afib with any of you that understand it better than I do please? 1. Vagally induced Afib is triggered by an over-active or over-stimulated vagus nerve, which in a sense means that you are too calm or relaxed

Atrial Fibrillation & Implantation of Fiducials & Spaceoar at UCLA.

4 weeks after Pfizer Biotech vaccine
Up until 4 weeks ago I was in control of my afib with life style changes and Flecainide, then I had a COVID booster vaccine and it's all gone out of the window. For a few days immediately after the vaccine I was a little poorly and my heart readings were all over the shop. Since then I have had periods

update on speaking with nurse.
So I had to do fibricheck for a week for Nurse and apart from one bad episode of AFIB all the others are eptopics. I’ve upped my Bisoprolol for now if that don’t work then I have to up the flecainide. That’s the one I don’t want to up. I have been given the all clear to get back to my HGV job so that
