- This is an online site I just stumbled upon. I haven't had time to really get into it but it looks interesting. Information, tools for setting goals, etc.http://myAFibexperience.org
- Interesting thoughts from Dr John Mandrola. http://www.drjohnm.org/2015/02/a-new-way-to-think-about-curing-atrial-fibrillation/
- My 31 year old daughter has been suffering with a feeling of bladder pressure and urgency for weeks. She has not been diagnosed with IC but we are concerned that she is heading in that direction. She has been treated for a UTI (urine was...
- 5 yrs ago a developed a fib for the first time when I had a routine colonoscopy. I was in the room, ready to go but hadn't been given any medication when my heart started slamming around in my chest and jumped to 180. First, a trip to ER and IV...
- I responded to another topic that I don't tell many people that I have a fib. My immediate family knows, a couple close friends know, a couple people at work knew, but that is about it. I have a hard time sharing this. It is hard to explain, and...
- Petey posted another topic about causes of a fib and I started thinking about inflammation. Seems that is a cause for many other chronic diseases as well. So....what do we do about it? If we reduce inflammation will the a fib improve?I know that...
- I had a totally different experience tonight. I have paroxsymal a fib. The last episode I had was about a year ago, thanks to flecainide. I just saw the EP a few weeks ago and my EKG was great, I did a 14 day monitor which was also completely...
- Just saw my EP for my yearly visit. I am continuing on flecainide, my EKG looked good, I do not believe I have had an episode of a fib in almost a year. I have to wear a monitor for 2 weeks to make sure I'm not missing any a fib. Then...the...
- Just wanted to share my experience today. I have been taking flecainide for a year now and doing very well. I had a couple short episodes early on and it has been about 8 months of NSR. Today I had a procedure done. I have old acne scarring and...
- I listen to Sirius doctor radio frequently. On my drive home from work today a cardiologist was talking about research he is involved with that could make non-invasive ablation for arrythmias possible. This is by focusing sound waves (ultrasound)...
- I went for an eye exam today. It's been 2 years and I decided I should get my eyes checked before I have to renew my drivers license at the DMV. 2 years ago I had to have a visual field test because he noted some "cupping" of my optic nerve which...
- He writes an interesting blog about A Fib among other things. This is his summary of the AF Boston Symposium.http://www.drjohnm.org/
- It's cold and flu time and thought this might be helpful for any of us on coumadin/warfarin..This is from a hand-out we give to our patients on coumadin at the clinic where I work. These should not have much impact on INR.Cough: OK to take cough...
- I decided to start this topic since there have been some posts recently from members without health insurance. I want to let everyone know about a resource most people are not aware of. I am a nurse in a federally qualified health center (FQHC). ...
- I saw my EP for a 6 month recheck since starting flecainide. Everything was great....no problems. He said that since I was on a low (75mg twice a day) dose that we have room to increase if needed, try another antiarrythmic if this one stops...
