Atrial Fibrillation
Posted , 12 users are following.
Hi,
I had my first encounter with AF in September of 2013. I was put on Biosoporol and Warfarin unti I had a cardioversion in february the following year.
All has been well, until a few nights ago when I woke the morning after and found that I had gone back into AF.
I have been on a low dose of Biosoporol (1.25mg) since the procedure. I also cut my alcohol intake to 2-3 drinks per week and kept exercising as I have always done.
I took myself to the local A&E department and was wired up which confirmed what I already knew. They didn't seem overally concerned that I was in AF and holding a heart rate of 80/90 bpm and told I was in controlled AF. I was then discharged and booked into my local GP later that morning.
The appointment didn't yield much movement apart from a referal to a specialist which would take approx 4 weeks.
He left me on my dose of Biosoporol and toldme to get back intouch if I felt any changes in the symptoms.
I have a feeling of been left in the dark, and as well as been quite worried that it all comes across a bit relaxed by the system when I myself am really worried!!!! Is it just me?
Has anybody felt similar?
Call me a silly worrying fool but its just the way I feel.
I have considered paying for a private consultation, which will happen a lot quicker, just to try get myself a piece of mind.
Has anybody any thoughts?
Thanks for reading.
Adrian.

really sorry I'm only just replying, only just seen your post. I hope you are well and that you are still AF free. I would definitely say go for the ablation if you need to 5 hours was a very long time you are sedated but awake it's unpleasant but I think well worth it, and once over you forget about it. I'm from Sheffield and there was a long waiting list, so after research I had ablation at the Glenby heart hospital in Leicester. Would defo recommend.
Please Let me know how you go on its nice to hear from someone with similar problems and that you are not alone.
best wishes
Debbie
