Do you Know Your Pulse?
Do you know what a normal resting heart rhythm is? Do you know what an irregular heart rhythm feels like? Did you know that an irregular pulse can be the very early warning signs of an arrhythmia? It is vital you monitor your heart rhythm by taking regular pulse checks. For further information

Short spikes of raised HR?
Hello again, My ablation was mid March and I've been in NSR since bar 2 short episodes of AF that self converted when I was under extreme stress. Every now and then (once every 3 weeks or so) I guess I get a short spike of raised heart rate shown on my fitbit, if I'm sitting quietly I'm aware of it

Sore knee and pain gels
I know on Apixaban I can’t take an anti inflammatory or even the gels. I’ve got a painful knee. I asked in Boots about this stuff. Pharmacist said he couldn’t say. Anyone here heard of it, used it, know it’s ok with Apixaban? 😀

Dronenadrone and Bisoprolol
Hi all Is anyone else on Bisoprolol alongside Dronenadrone (Multaq)? The Multaq has been very successful to date at reducing my AF burden to 2% or less every week measured via Apple Watch Series 8. After a 24 hour ecg holter my cardiologist thinks that I have an arrythmia called SVT (Super Ventricula

Can I take an extra Bisoprolol
Hi all, I’m having loads of ectopic beats since yesterday and it’s really worrying me, a month ago I reduced my Bisoprolol to 1.25, I’m wondering if it would be okay to take another 1.25 today to try to calm these ectopics. Pulse rate is staying stable and not flying too high. My OH is away so I feel

Post Ablation Monitor Report is in..
Well, I,had an ablation on May 10th for Atrial Tachycardia and it was a 'success' in that they ablated the SVT. The downside is that 1) they weren't able to ablate the left sided ectopics, and 2) I have lingering inappropriate sinus tachycardia. So now I am stuck trying different meds again to lower

Increased episodes of AF
I have had paroxysmal AF for about 5 years. For several years I only had an episode every 6 months or so and was prescribed 1.25 of Bisoprolol just once a day and 5mg of Apixaban twice a day. 18 months ago the AF episodes got a little more frequent, my GP upped my Bisoprolol to 1.25 twice a day, no

Rythmol, Post Ablation Monitor, Bigeminy
I had a second ablation on May 10th. They got the major source of SVT byt were unable to get the left atrium source if PACs. My pre-ablation monitor showed a 12% burden of SVT and a 19% burden of PACs. My post ablation monitor showed no SVT and a 25% burden of PACs and quite a bit of inappropriate

AF and Steroids
my sister diagnosed with AF. Not many events so far and is on Apixaban and bisoprolol 2.5mg. She tolerates this well but has recently been prescribed steroids for chronic pain. She has noticed an increase in heart rate and has had two episodes of AF this week which is unusual for her. Do you think the

Hair & Nail supplements
I have rubbish nails which aren’t very strong and my hair is on the thin side. I’ve been looking at supplements and found one which has excellent results but contains herbal ingredients such as horsetail. I asked the surgery pharmacist if I can take it and she advised not to - she said herbal ingredients

Why it’s a good idea to use your Kardia etc regularly
It’s a saga but will make it as short as possible! I have paroxysmal AF, big nuisance but I don’t usually have fast episodes any more, take Apixaban anticoagulant so I put up with it. On Friday afternoon while quietly looking at a book an episode started. As usual pretty nasty for first two hours but

Some do and some don't
I was diagnosed with AF and slightly enlarged heart chambers, earlier this year, which has turned out to be permanent AF 24hrs every day. On reading posts it seems different procedures are given for AF with varying success. I have been prescribed Apixaban in addition to bisoprolol. My pulse seems

Tachycardia after ablation
What is your level of endurance/exercise that you comfortably tolerate after ablation? I was working in the garden today, NOT exerting myself much at all and my heart rate was in the 130-140 range for very little effort. I chose to rest, but could have kept working. Is it better not to stress the heart

advice needed
Hi, I have been diagnosed with slow Atrial Fibrillation since October and still waiting to see a cardiologist. The doctors have given me Apixaban. I have struggled with the symptoms and seem to have episodes every other day especially in the early hours of the nights. I have had to cut hours down at

Atrial Bigeminy
I have searched through the posts about bigeminy and many of them are quite old. I recently had a successful ablation for atrial tachycardia, but now have most incessant atrial bigeminy. There seems to be some varied research out now about atrial bigeminy causing cardiomyopathy. Beta Blockers don't seem
