What Does This ecg Before and After "AIFB" Mean - 9 months ago
I usually always have a Kardiamoble ecg like the attached one before and after my heart takes off with over 100 pulse. It seems like the only answer I get from a cardiologist is "it is AFIB". I have 4 events in the attached data where something looking like the QRS happens shortly after a normal QRS, and then the same period between the short QRS until the next "normal" QRS.by kenn_green - AFIBBERS FORUM
Occasional early R waves before and after AFIB episode - 1 year ago
Almost every time I have AFIB episodes I have ekgs like the attached before and after the AFIB. Is that typical? I read: "For some individuals, consuming a large meal can cause gastrointestinal problems. These, in turn, can stimulate the vagus nerve, which connects the gut, brain and heart. A spike in the vagus nerve from eating a large meal can spark an Afib event. Research shows thaby kenn_green - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Kardia Mobile Interpretations - 1 year ago
Been away for while. My concern is that doctors either just want to put you on meds, or burn away part of your heart, and don't want to look for underlying causes, too much work? I'm not happy being on xarelto and Metoprolol Tartrate. My reps at the gym are noticeably down for upper body and I can't donate blood, which was something I felt really good doing because they can giby kenn_green - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Is high pulse (e.g. 120) always AFIB? - 1 year ago
The cardiologist prescribed 25mg Metoprolol Tartrate and 20mg Xarelto. I don't think the Metoprolol Tartrate is doing anything good, the episodes seem about as often and long as before. I'd like to drop it. I have a very slow heart, usually in the 50, and while relaxing waiting for one of the AFIB tests kept setting off an alarm in the 40's. I'm 72 and have done 25-30min (by kenn_green - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Kardia Mobile Interpretations - 1 year ago
Sometimes the data is very noisy and I have to keep restarting data collection with the Kardia Mobile to get a clean EKG. Is that typical? I have a 6L, and sometimes I have to switch from single lead to 6-Lead to get a decent EKG.by kenn_green - AFIBBERS FORUM
Is high pulse (e.g. 120) always AFIB? - 1 year ago
Every week or so I experience a pulse around 120 that can last several hours and was diagnosed with AFIB based on an EKG. I bought a Kardiomoble and look at my EKG which shows the high pulse with a repeated waveform with a clear R waves but so close together it is hard to distinguish a P wave between them. I don't know how anyone can tell I am experiencing AFIB, not just a high pulse. I hby kenn_green - AFIBBERS FORUM
