Had Cardioversion 9 days ago - today AFIB returned !
Any comments from those of you who have had similar experiences would be great . Is it worth trying again or should I head for ablation ??

Hi Deirdre, yes I continued on bisoprolol and simvasttin over that time and there were a few side effects that were not very pleaseant.

if you have ablation, it may not be completely successful either. I had ablation 5 months ago and am still going in and out of afib. Less than before the surgery, but still happening

Suzanne, I am in the same boat as you. My ablation was 4 weeks ago, have been in afib for 10 minutes or so on at least two occasions. Seems to happen same time at night. Rate don't go as high, but it is still there. Hope it straightens out. It sure feels good when afib is gone.
Others talk about side affects of meds, I don't have any. I am now on lopressor and eliquis. are there other meds worse than these?

I take Flecainide and it's no fun and Cardiazem - not fun either - makes me so tired ! I also take Eliquis 5 mg 2 x day
Thanks for info !Didi

I was on eliquis and changed to pradaxa because the latter has a reversal factor which eliquis has yet to come out with and I felt that was important.

I found a phone app called AFIB DETECT - it has given me a bit of peice of mind at times when my pulse seems off the charts and really isn't !
Let me know if anyone uses it and what they think ?
Thanks, Didi

Boobs move, my heart is beating so hard. I am doing nothing. Just sitting. Got a call into my doc. I feel ok. This is just too crazy. Anyone else out there do this?
