- I had my ablation on Sep. 6 and feel fine. I wore the event monitor for a mo. and that was just a waste. I recorded once to make sure it was working, and that was the extent of it. I'm taking 50 mg. of metoprolol bid and my warfarin (he is...
- 2 weeks in NSR doesn't seem like much, but I feel GREAT, and that's what counts. I've had the monitor on about 5 hr. now, and it's done nothing. It beeps when you have an event of some type..so I'm happy it's silent. I have to wear it for a mo.,...
- Are you out there, and are you doing well. I've been waiting to hear from you.....check in K?
- I had my ablation last Thur. and I felt like a truck had run over me when it was over with. I was flat on my back from the minute I checked in till after the ablation and 12 hr. is what the Dr. wanted afterwards. I watched the monitor near my bed,...
- I have friends in Florida that have crocodiles in their yards with the flooding going on. They are in Tampa. I know you're in Florida, but I don't know where...so take care and God Bless. Hope all is going OK for you.Dee
- Today I slept most of the day, and yes I had to take a Tylenol #3 in order to do so. I'm having right sided tenderness and some pain below the ribs...but can't figure out if it is spleenic or pancreas. It hurts to lay on that side, and it hurts to...
- I'm not sure what happened in a week, but my INR runs about 2.6 for the most part on 2.5 mg of warfarin. Yesterday I took it and it was 4.6. Now, I'm off it for 3 days. I can't even imagine where this crazy reading came from, so I waited 2 hr....
- I didn't think I ever would, but I hear they help with the dizziness and fatigue of atrial fib. I don't feel the rapid heartbeat all all, but wow am I worn out all the time. I could sleep round the clock, and that isn't how I lived before. I was...
- I was scheduled to go to NYC in July to have an ablation by Dr. Reddy, and I'm canceling it. Don't even ask why...I just don't feel an ablation is going to help me, and the follow-up in 3 mo. is almost impossible with the price of airfares.I've...
- I'm getting sick of going to the Dr. and they can't get any reading at all on my BP...not with the mechanical machine, not even with a stethoscope. They simply can't hear it. The last time they must have tried about 10 times. I can go to Walmart...
- I've been waking up at night for the last week with right sided pain in my chest. I would think it was gallbladder, but I don't have one. I just had an EKG and an echo a week ago, and they were fine. It's driving me crazy. I take a Prilosec and...
- Well, everything was set for me to go to NYC for another ablation, and I think I've decided to live with this, and not do anything else. Yes, the Dr. feels he can help me, and yes he's a pioneer in the field, but I'm cautious...I will be a long...
- I've been taking some time away from the forum, because my mood certainly has not been the best. An ablation gone wrong will do that to you...but now things are looking up. My Sister in NYC is wanting me to see Dr. Vivek Reddy at Mt. Sinai this...
- Did anyone see the news article about using stem cells from your own heart to reverse heart failure. They are having significant success with it. I don't know how long it will be till it's covered by insurance, but it sounds like a major...
- I realize this is the A-fib forum...I never forget that for a minute, because I have it, but I can't help thinking that our ancestors died of cancer, and still there is no cure. My grandson has had Diabetes Type 1 since the age of 7...no progress...
