Failed fourth ablation
My husband just had his 4th ablation (first one was way back in 2007), surgeon just shrugged and said it was a no go, too much scarring from previous ones...told pacemaker next...so sad. He's in constant flutter mode right now and we don't know what to do? If it flips into fibrillation, do we go back

Stress test
At my recent visit to EP he said he would schedule me for stress test. I asked why and he said it had been 4 yrs. since I had one and he didn’t want to miss anything. I told him after my last one I didn’t plan to do it again! My afib is brought on by extreme physical stress and/or extreme emotional

Afib
I have been taking 5.mg of Apixaban twice a day for a year for Afib I have no energy whatsoever so tired all the time. Blurred vision aching legs. Can’t go on like this. Anybody else on Apixaban experience these systoms? My house is a mess can’t find the energy to do simple tidying up.

An anniversary....of sorts
It was four years ago today that I was diagnosed with Atrial Flutter and given a DC cardioversion (after the chemical cardioversion failed). I remember sitting despondently in the hospital bed, thinking I now have a heart issue that will need declaration on travel insurance and could have a big impact

Another blip
First since late December, this time didn't even have a cold or anything that usually makes the HR go up and the AF kick in. Had been at work yesterday, drank OK (I thought) and although going 8 miles around the ward didn't feel too manic. Have been a bit stressed this week with wife being on nights

Nightly afib!
Well, despite trying everything from magnesium taurate to arginine, vitamin C and D and everything in between. I still get nightly episodes of afib that wake me usually between tow to three hours after going to bed! I can always self terminate these episodes using a variety of vagal manoeuvres but I’

Matcha green tea
Hello … I am thinking about starting to drink this type of tea. I have read that it is very healthy. I cannot drink coffee because it is too caffeinated. This supposedly has half the caffeine per cup but it is still somewhat caffeinated. Has anyone tried this type of tea? I am afraid that it might

Supraventricular tachycardia post ablation
Hi all, has anyone developed supraventricular tachycardia after ablation for PVCs? Can these make one very dizzy? Post procedure I have had several episodes recorded on the 5day holter. Before the procedure I didn't have these. I am 41yrs and take 2.5mg bisoprolol, 80mg telmisartan and 1.5mg indapamide

Ablation
Hi. I have been taking Flecainide for 10 days now 50mg twice daily for PVCs and none sustained runs of VT. They haven’t worked has much than I thought they would. My EP said if the Flecainide don’t work then I could have an ablation. I was just wondering what the odds are if the ablation making my PVCs

Feeling upset
I had a successful ablation in October 2020. Since then I had a couple of echo cardiograms and blood tests and my heart function improved a good deal. Was back playing tennis and at the gym with the agreement of dr. Two weeks ago I felt unwell, no appetite and tired for a couple of days. Woke up

High blood pressure.
I had my blood pressure taken at the pharmacy today. He said it was high. I was shocked as it has always been very good. The last time I last it taken the nurse said it was excellent. What causes high blood pressure Could it be Warfarin or Bisoprolol? Unless it could be because I have AF now?

Permanent afib and ablation
Hello my husband has been in permanent afib for 5 years. He has had 2 cardioversions and one ablation. Never put him in normal sinus for even a minute. He recently had prostate surgery and because of hospitalizations he was without his digoxin for 2 doses. He has an ICD that is intended to shock

Need advice. Back on A fib but feel really good!
I am a 68-year-old male that was diagnosed with a fib about five or six years ago. First it was a flutter that went into a fib. Had one ablation for a flutter and two ablations for a fib. They did not work this is when I lived in New York. I want to Dallas 4 years ago and instead of going the ablation

Afib and High Altitude
Has anyone had problems going to high altitude with treated Afib? I live at a mile high but often visit an area that is closer to 10,000’ elevation. When I was not on any medication I was advised to not go to the higher altitude because of increased stroke risk. Now I am on Eliquis twice daily so I

AF Fraud? And has anyone found UK support for Afib diet?
Well, I joined this list a couple of months ago just after my GP told me I had AF, and appreciated your responses to my posts. It turns out he was wrong and what I have is episodes lasting several days of a high burden of ectopics (with runs resulting in resting HR up to around 130bpm) mostly PACs and

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
