Re: My Afib is back

I have had Afib for about 7 years. I used to have scary episodes pretty often. I've been taking Flecanide ever since twice a day. The episodes have lessened over the years but still feel them coming on now and then.

The Cardiologist has been suggesting a pacemaker. Not fond of that thought but maybe in the future.

I hope you get relief, it's worrisome and interferes with a busy life.

My friend has had these procedures for her Afib, came thru it like a champ !!!

My DIL 2 weeks ago, she was put on a high doze blood thinner and got a bloody nose last weekend, ended up in the ER and they stopped the bleeding with a spray of cocaine up her nose.I guess this stops bleeding, never heard of this before. She;s fine now. You learn something new everyday!

My husband has A-FIB, has had the procedure two times to try and 'fix' him. Neither time worked.

Hopefully you have better luck @chrystaltree .

I had a cardioversion procedure. They shock your back into normal rhythm. Sounds worse than it is. It took 10 minutes. It did work. I don't know when I went into Afib again. I was fine when I had my physical in July. It will be either another cardioversion or ablation.
