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?

Bisoprolol
I only had just over a week on bisoprolol 5mgs after coming out the hospital after fast afib episode. I felt breathless and nauseated. I have no follow up at the hospital, they just said gp to review so last week the gp did agree reluctantly to go down to 3.75mgs which I've taken for nearly a week but

AF and amiodaran treatment, ablations, cardioversions
This is an update to my original post in this thread and I thought I would start a new thread. I'm 55 years old and I've had atrial fibrillation for a year. I've undergone two cardioversions, and the last one lasted for about 10 weeks. For the past 10 weeks, I've been in atrial fibrillation all the time

I NEVER LEARN
Hello everyone, It's 5:44 AM in California and the paramedics have just left. I called them as while lying in bed I felt nauseous, and stomach felt odd so I put my oximeter on my finger and watched it go down to 29 and then back up to baseline HR for me of 50 and it really freaked me out but I tried

Continuous afib
I have had afib for 17 years and have been taking Flecainide (initially 25mg and after few years 100mg) and Metroprolol 25mg. I had afib episodes every 6 months for one or two days and after that it went away. Each episode lasted for three or four hours. For the past two years I have been taking

update on switching to digoxin from lopressor
Stopped digoxin this am and starting back on lopressor. bad heartburn and nausea just kept getting worse. Lots of hydrating and will explore ablation. Really felt sick on digoxin. Although don't feel generally great this was really not a good experience.

Puzzling Tachycardia
Hi Everybody, I hope someone in this lovely community will be able to help me understand my puzzling tachycardia. Just to give you some background. I have been diagnosed with paroxysmal AFIB little over five years ago. I have been on Amiodarone (100 mg) for the past four years. Amiodarone helps, but

Slowly Reducing Antiarrhythmic medications
I had an abalation just on 3 months ago. After the first month my EP advised I can start reducing my medication which is Flecainide and Dilitiazem and he did not need to see me anymore. I am now taking 50mg Flec. and was initially taking 100mg. By July I should be medication free. I have had some

calming a fibs
So, I am having a fibs right now 9:30 at night in the USA. Heart rate went up to 137, then down to 80s 90's jumping all around. Could feel it racing and I was short of breath. My question is this: WHAT CAN I DO TO CALM ALL THIS DOWN? HOW DO I STOP THE ANXIETY WHILE IT IS HAPPENING? I just drank

Heartburn from Digoxin
On Digoxin 2 plus weeks. Blood level fine. Am having constant heartburn/nausea. My Dr said not a usual side effect. Tough it out? or go back on Lopressor which had its own side effects. Many say it will get better. Permanent persistent afib.

Paroxysmal atrial fribulation
Just another question all whilst I was on verapamil and digoxin my heart rate just raced away for no reason not afib but just a rapid rate of bpm whilst moving or trying to work doesn't happen with bisoprolol so much

pacemaker
There is a forum, I think, for pacemaker discussion, however I couldn't figure out how to ask question on that forum. Many of you have pacemakers so maybe you can answer my question. My pacemaker is working about 85% of the time and keeps my heart rate at 60bpm. Lately I have been getting extremely

Anticoagulants stopped by new consultant
I'll try to be as brief as possible! January 2019 I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism in both lungs and also AF and flutter. After various unsuccessful attempts to correct heart I had a catheter ablation June 2019 . Responded well and put on Bisoprolol and anticoagulants which I was told would

Persistent Afib
Thank you to everyone for your replies. This is the best site for info and also advice that I have found. Persistent AFib but HR controlled and stays under 100 most of the time. Now on Eliquis and switched to Digoxin .25mgm a month ago with Lopressor 25mgm/25mgm and trying to wean off Lopressor

AVnode ablation
All,Has anyone out there had an av node ablation? I have been in persistent afib since feb of this year, and meds are not working. My quality of life has been miserable. I have a pacemaker with wires in my ventricles and my heart rate is very well controlled. It's the afib which is so bothersome.

Does persistent/constant afib lower the heart ejection fraction?
Newbie question - it hadn’t even occurred to me but if one (aka my husband) has persistent/constant afib (and he has constant atrial flutter also we think) will that most likely impact the heart ejection fraction? I mean now I think about it it seems logical that if the heart isn’t contracting and
