- I've googled, and found nothing on this... . Is there a way to tell whether you're just having premature beats, or if you're in afib? I'm on Bystolic, which seems to prevent tachycardia. Yesterday, my heart was skipping around for a couple of...
- I asked the same question that newly diagnosed afibbers ask, which is... "will this shorten my life?" My EP said that , "no, but afib can make you feel rotten."I wasn't buying that, because.. how can your heart shoot up to 200 bpm and stay there...
- I get so angry when the media portrays complex medical procedures as a piece of cake. There is a TV Show on ABC Family aimed at teens called "Make It or Break It." It's a fictional show about a group of female gymnasts who are training for the...
- How do you report a spammer who is putting out "friend requests?" There is somebody named "WaterofLife" that is trying to promote his blog on here which sells Marine Phytoplankton and minerals.

- At one time, I was a very serious athlete. I have had a lot of injuries from leading a very active life (my latest was four years ago when I fell off a horse and broke my back in two places)... and have gotten out of shape. Then, just as I was...
- I'm having a really bad day with skipping heart beats... not a-fib per say. I was just in a meeting giving a presentation in front of a large amount of people (which I do often), and while I was in the front of the room talking, my heart started...

- Which ablation method is better? It seems the medical community doesn't know. I ran across this article today written by a doctor (meant for his collegues) which indicates to me that afib patients are still being used as guinea pigs.Atrial...
- I thought I would start a thread for any new research or innovations in the wonderful world of afib.Here's a news release that was sent to me today:MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CardioFocus, Inc., developer of the HeartLight...
- My Afib began just a month after I had a WIFi router connected to my house. I don't know if there's any connection... but this article makes you want to say, "hmmm...."http://blog.drsinatra.com/blog/jan-sinatra/cordless-phones-new-heart-risk-factor

- Hi. I have not been on a Graves Disease board in forever, because I've been in remission for 20 years. I did block and replace therapy back in 1992 before anybody had ever heard of it. I had read about it while researching Graves Disease in the...
