Had a trip in an ambulance this morning from work to Pinderfields, AF was 180 & erratic, six hours later whilst laid in resus waiting to be admitted to mau my AF returned to between 66 - 70 & all returned to normal so now I am back home feeling tons better.

OMG
I had that fixed 2 years ago.
Seems to have worked.

I only got up to 166

Can recommend a man in Galway

 

[derek kelly]

Cheers but the guys in Pinderfields seem to have fixed me.

Had AF after my heart bypass, not pleasant and totally knackering.
Do everything they tell you and start taking things a little easier.

My wife had something similar recently
Supraventricular tachycardia I believe it was
Checked HR with a monitor it was approx 180 When ambulance arrived and hooked her up to their machines it was 213 bpm !!
Blue light to hospital and the thing that brought her HR down was blowing hard into a 50ml syringe, (3rd attempt) which apparently puts pressure on the lungs and in turn ‘resets’ the heart.... if that didn’t work .....it was ‘switch off and on again’ by momentarily stopping her heart !!
She had blood, ECG, urine etc tests and all seemed within correct ranges apart from BPM, tho this seems to be normal once again ??

She now has appointments with doc and cardiologist at hospital as all other signs were relatively normal .... so maybe further tests ???

She had something similar about 15 years ago but no where near as high or as long (2-3 minutes of fast heart rate)

Life is too short .... Carpe Diem !!

It was the dreaded chest infection which kicked the AF in, taken me off ramipril & put me on beta blockers for seven days, Doctor said “do you have a bike?” I replied “motorbike” he tutted & said “I think you need a bike for exercise” I refuse to wear lycra.

 

[Stevebrooke]

I refuse to wear lycra.

For which we’re all eternally grateful.

If you take the advice and start riding a bike I for one will travel to Yorkshire to watch it while shouting "hypocrite"!!

When it happened me the hospital just gave me lots of pills including anticoagulant AND aspirin. Pharmasist actually queried aspirin with anticoagulant. They never mentioned treatment.

By accident a colleague told me about another colleague who had a"cardiac ablation' procedure which seems to have cured it for me - and him.
That guy was in a bad way. Now plays golf 3 days a week.

The Nurses were quite petite but very nice.
