Atrial Fibrillation

[Flyingfifer]

Strange so many people are suddenly getting heart related health concerns, wonder what could be causing that...

Thought you said you we're leaving....obvs no mates to talk to, unsurprisingly, so here you are poking again....

Mine started 15yrs ago. Ronks was long before the jab too.

Stay off this thread you're less than welcome. If I have to get the mods to rid you I will, however I'm staying near Peebles this week so if you want to grow a pair and come down to discuss it please do. If not as I suspect stay off here.

Never said I was leaving the forum?
Guaranteed way to get me to hang about is to be a pissy wee cow though

What would you like to discuss big man?

Coward. You're poking the pot as usual as you well know. I'm not getting into this on the forum. Go to PM and we'll do it there, or as I say come to Peebles and talk to my face if you have a backbone. Either way no more here.

I hope they are getting you sorted dr_john

I hope they are getting you sorted dr_john

Thanks Ron.

I’ve been switched to some different beta blockers (Sotalol) in preparation for the cardio version procedure. Still feel rather fatigued but soldiering on! Also cut right down on alcohol intake which has helped.

Sorry to hear this John, all the best mate.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and works effectively. Let us know how you get on.

This is weird. My AF is classed as ‘persistent’, meaning that I don’t have AF ‘attacks’ as such, and never have done. It’s just there all the time in the background. However my lack of energy etc is apparent lately, and stick me on an ECG and my pulse rate is all over the place, not especially high but not steady.

Anyway I’m having the cardioversion procedure done privately sometime soon, seems like the best option at present

[ronk]

Mine was paroxysmal
It would start when it wanted and stop when it wanted - no trigger food/drink/activity could be identified and believe me I tried!

The surgeon had a very difficult job finding the rogue area to ablate - if it returns then he told me it’s a further ablation and a pacemaker - ablate & pace in his words.

Really interested to hear how you get on. My AF symptoms appear to be very similar to yours. I don’t have attacks but my Apple Watch constantly reminds that it is there. There are additional complications in that I had a stent fitted when I had the cardiac arrest and another artery was also partially blocked. This is being managed with medication. Because of the position of this artery the heart team decided it was too risky to fit a second stent.
Like you I sometimes lack energy, especially in high or low temperatures. But what I do find is, the more I do the more I am able to do and the better I feel. We have a decent sized garden and have hedges all round so there is plenty that needs to be done. At the start of the Summer I struggle a bit to get going but once into a routine, cutting grass and hedges I manage quite well and feel much better than I do during the Winter months.
Good luck with the treatment.

I would add that although the surgeon cured the AF - I remain on Anti Coagulation therapy - bit of nuisance but better than the alternative!

We had a pergola fitted a couple of weeks ago and I spent many hours today applying wood preservative. Just about knackered me, but after a shower and a ginger beer I felt great. Had a pint at the local to cebrate!

Ironically a cardio consultant rang me the other day to enquire why I was still on them Ron, he's going to speak to the surgeon that did my ablation to ask his opinion on whether I need to be on them. I'll let you know if it's of any interest.
