What’s the difference between LiCB lithium battery CP 2032 and CP2016? Are they interchangeable? is one better than the other for a Kardia mobile? Thanks!by SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
Jim and Daisy, you give me waaaay more credit for knowing how to do this stuff. I can't even find what version I have using Settings and About Kardia... as for options available like share or pdf etc, I'm muddling through it. UPDATE: I emailed my EP last night and he replied this morning, saying one tracing looks like it is normal rhythm, the others could be atrial fibrillation oby SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM

I think I can include a better look-see of those double beats—but I had to compress the file (& don’t know quite what I’m doing) I had quite a lot of them yesterday, it seemed, and “a-fib feelings” until I took my evening Flecainide. Thanks in advance.by SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quotemjamesone I think the problem is you're taking the screenshot of only the preview. Try this. (1) click on the preview.; (2) then scroll down and click on"download pdf"; (3) then click on "skip" or enter a password if necessary, and then click on "next" (4) scroll down a little and now you will see the entire EKG; (5) now take your screenshott; (6) editby SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks Carey, I don’t know how to do that, but I’m sure there’s a YouTube video about I. I’ve just been doing screenshots. I’m not all that technologically “with it.” Sue UPDATE—. I’ve been trying & trying & watching videos & cannot figure it out, how to send a download pdf. I have an old iPhone7, maybe that’s why? I’m so frustrated & feeling not real smart either.

I’m not sure how much you can see on my Kardia screenshots. attached. This is something totally new to me, having a ‘double’ heartbeat and then a regular one and then another regular one and then a double one. If I can describe it, it’s like this: beat…..beat….. beat..beat…..beat…..beat…..beat..beat Things seem to have resolved, knock wood, with my evening medication but what the heck is tby SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Carey & thanks for checking in. I was due to take Flecainide at 11pm last night but I had already taken Diltiazem at 7:40pm and I remembered some thing about how they don’t play nicely together so I called after hours at Kaiser, which is available 24/7, and they checked with the ER doctor and I was told to not take any more diltiazem but to take my flecainide as scheduled at 11 o’clock becby SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
I guess I’m wondering how long it would take for it to resolve if I stayed home —-and to me, a hr of 110 to 125 for hours and hours is worrisome. In the past ER visits, I was given metoprolol, which resolved the issue.by SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks again, Daisy!!!! In the past, I’ve converted after 2 “pushes” of metoprolol, given 10 minutes apart. The max they were going to do was three pushes but thankfully I converted after the second one. Thanks so much!!by SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks, Daisy for the extra info—very helpful to me!by SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thank for the input Carey. My EP said that if my bpm gets over 110 that I should go to the ER. I’ll give the Diltiazem some more time to work. Isn’t there a human health limit as to how many hours you can have tachycardia before you should seek medical intervention??by SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thank you both for ringing in. My EP said nothing about my BP when he prescribed Diltiazem as PIP. I ended up taking half a tablet, it’s a 30mg tablet so half was 15mg. It’s not extended release. I my take the other half in 30 minutes & wait another half hour & if that doesn’t work, I’ll call an ambulance. Thanks again.by SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello, it’s been a while. I take metoprolol, flecainide, and Pradaxa. Today before I took my metoprolol 25 mg extended release at the regular time of 4 pm o’clock, I noticed I was having tachycardia. I tend to have a slow heart rate with my regular meds, but my heart rate was 118 and climbing. I took the metoprolol extended release at 4pm and now it’s two hours later without much change except thby SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM

Hi, all, What are your best OTC or “natural” remedies when you’re dealing with cough and cold symptoms? I’ve tried the usual, nasal rinse, gargling with warm salt water, tea with honey and lemon, tea with honey and lemon and ginger, hot water with lemon, ginger tea, probiotics, humidifier, increased liquids (mostly decaffeinated tea and water, I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t drink sodas, I dby SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM

I fell down on my rear end on Friday--I didn't fall far because I was getting something out from the bottom shelf of the upright freezer so I was already somewhat close to my kitchen floor. My rear end is a bit sore, & part of my right side and part of my back, (but not near my spine), are very sore and painful when I get up from a sitting position, when I sit down from a standing poby SueChef - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

My regular GP is out of the office and a colleague replied to my email, and recommended using topical nitroglycerin when I have a flare up of my external hemorroids (sitz baths, Tucks, and OTC topical stuff has done not much to help with the pain!). A Rx for topical nitroglycerin was called in for me. I've never heard of nitroglycerin being used this way, and in my initial email to the doby SueChef - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Carey, and thank you again for posting on this thread! I always picture you as a Manly Man, a real guy's guy and I appreciate your compassion for this big baby fraidy cat LOL. What might feel to you like a little bit sore, might feel to me like I've been decked!

Thanks for clarifying, Carey -- that info is most excellent! Ok, so what over the counter stuff can a person with a-fib actually take if they have a bit of a vaccine reaction after they get home or the next day, like aches and pains, flu-like symptoms, a slight fever, feeling punky etc?by SueChef - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
After you get the Covid vaccine, they make you wait for a specific amount of time to see if you have any reactions to it. Apparently if you have a reaction to the vaccine within 20 minutes, the medical people at the vaccination center will give you Ibuprofen or Benadryl, I'm not sure how they determine which one to give, or what the vaccine reaction might be within those 20 minutes of waby SueChef - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
