Hello everyone, I had a successfull ablation for afib two months ago. However, my ectopic beat count has exploded - I used to get 3-4k a day before but now its gotten out of control I didnt get a holster count yet but it must easily be over 10k. Anybody else has experienced this in general? In has a lot of ectopics? I am honestly not looking forward to taking of anymore medication, let alone dby andreas22 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello everyone, 42 male with paroxysmal Afib here, on Flecainide since 4 months. I had absolutely no side effects so far but now I have a tinnitus since over a week. Anybody has any experience with this? It does state that as a rare side effect but I'm surprised this comes now after 4 months of taking the drug.by andreas22 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Yes I have also been wondering about the timing and what could be the reason. I was diagnosed with AFIB 4 months ago, with normal blood pressure. I do sleep very poorly since a couple of years but its not related to my breathing so I dont really know what do about it. Weightwise I am actually slightly underweight so I dont think that is the reason.by andreas22 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello everyone, been on Flecainide since 4 months and just noticed my blood pressure is way higher than usual. I never ever had raised blood pressure before so I'm now wondering if the Flecainide could be causing this? Has anyone experienced something similar?by andreas22 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Pompon, may I ask how old you are? I'm very new to this "game", diagnosed last December, on Flec since two months, 100mg a day. @Gloaming: there is quite a few literature and studies out there talking about the less likelihood of progression of vagal afib (one was quoted by GeorgN in this thread) but yeah I am also not entirely certain.by andreas22 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Yeah there are several sites claiming that it doesnt likely progress - however I have never found anyone explaining why vagal Afib would NOT progress as opposed to other Afib so I'm also somewhat doubtful.by andreas22 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello everyone, I'm 42 and have paroxysmal vagal afib that only comes on during sleep. Taking Flecanaide and had zero episodes since then. I read a lot about vagal afib being more unlikey to progress. Any other 100% vagal affibers in here that can confirm that or had an opposite experience? Also wondering about ablation and whether it also applies to vagal afib to rather get it sooner than lby andreas22 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks for the inputs - I am just wondering has anyone had ablation for Afib and did that help with the ectopics as well?by andreas22 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello everyone, I am new here and received my diagnosis of paroxysmal vagal Afib last Month. Taking Flecainide now and have an ablation scheduled for March. Since being on Flec I havent had an Afib episode and it also eliminated my ectopic bests for two weeks. However, now the ectopics are back and I am wondering: is having (thousands of) extopic beats common for people with Afib or is thst a seby andreas22 - AFIBBERS FORUM
