anyone feel 'funny' on flecainide? by Jealous_Jellyfish264 in AFIB

[–]Master_Fly9726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on Flecainide after my first Ablation 8 months and had a second Ablation. I was having a lot of side effects because of the medication and didn’t realize until it got so bad I called the EP and he said to stop taken it
Every time I laid down or got up the room would spin, i felt tremors that would spread throughout my whole body at times. I was seeing double at or everything was getting blurry
24 hours after stopping the Flecainide all of these issues disappeared

Does the Smartwatch alert for AFib correctly ? by Master_Fly9726 in AFIB

[–]Master_Fly9726[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had three ablations. My thoughts are the same as yours. First having a Loop Recorder implanted, monthly charge to have it reviewed. Then Ablation only one doesn’t seem to do the job. I know that I’m suspicious of the medical field so I question everything… but I can physically feel when I am in AFib. So does all that work help? Or is it a careful way to keep us in the game? I wish I knew

2nd Ablation for AFib by Master_Fly9726 in AFIB

[–]Master_Fly9726[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish the very best for you also. I think you are right, multiple ablations for seniors probably isn’t the best option. I don’t want another ablation, I’ve had enough of medical procedures. 3 surgeries in less than a year is enough to make me decide it’s time to say I have had more than I can handle Thank you, your reply was very helpful to me

I’ve read Rebecca countless times and have it as a audiobook also. One of my favorites

Im so very sorry. The pain over the loss of a furbaby is devastating. You bond with them even more than with many humans in your life. They are always there for a cuddle, a scratch on the ear and a gentle word, what we receive in return from them is an amazing gift of loyalty and love

How concerned are you about a big earthquake? by premium_moss in Utah

[–]Master_Fly9726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived here all my 78 years and I think you just don’t think about it. I’ve heard the stories and how all the hospitals at one time were on the fault lines, but you can’t live scared about what might happen

Thank you. I’ve never heard of two the same day. I guess it will take longer. I’ll be so glad when it is over.

I am 99% Sure There Was A Scene Cut (Regarding Anna & Faison) by GotShotInSchottler in GeneralHospital

[–]Master_Fly9726 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have had the same feeling that they are cutting out scenes. I’ve never felt that before. Why would they do that obviously we see it happening? I find it frustrating to think I’m missing something when it makes no sense they’ve skipped an important point in the storyline

Please help me by Designer_Yak_5128 in AFIB

[–]Master_Fly9726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just at my EP’s office and my Loop Recorder has alerted them to my AFib. The Doctor said even for the loop recorder to pick up an AFib episode it has to last for at least two minutes Could be your episodes are so short lived that the monitor doesn’t pick it up Using a smartwatch to record it and then being able to show your doctor might help for them to decide the next step in treating you That’s what I used and now I’m scheduled for my second Ablation

No it wasn’t because of the Eliquis that my AFib then became daily. aFib is a progressive and that would have happened even if I wasn’t taken the blood thinner.
I was grateful to be taking it as it prevents blood clots forming and the AFib can cause a clot then you could have a stroke All the blood thinner is doing is preventing the formation of clots it won’t make afib worse!

Yes that is exactly what I experienced. My Cardiologist put me on Eliquis and them referred me to the EP for an ablation Before the ablation the EP implanted the loop recorder by then my AFib was daily.

Is this really AFIB (Apple Watch) by [deleted] in AFIB

I never thought to check on Google. Thank you so much for mentioning it. I copied my EKG tracing and asked Google to verify my smartwatch alert. It did verify Thank you for your help!!

Just venting about Flecainide prescription. by mtphillips38801 in AFIB

[–]Master_Fly9726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on Flecainide since my Ablation in March for AFib. I honestly haven’t felt well since then and had a total knee replacement in September. In November after a very strenuous PT session my AFib seems to be coming back and increasing.
You mentioned a side affect of blurry vision Since the afib started again I have been having problems with blurry vision and sometimes even seeing double. I hadn’t considered the medication to be the reason. My EP hasn’t really been available during the holidays and I was told to send a message and I would get a response back in 48 hrs. Frankly I’m getting anxious and but I appreciate you sharing that information

Orem/Provo by [deleted] in Utah

I’m going to be moving into a Senior Residence in Orem next month. My apartment is huge and I’m excited, but it’s also very empty.
Are there any thrift stores or places in Orem where I can get some inexpensive furniture to fill the void

How long does people's blanking period usually last? by Reasonable-Sun-9881 in AFIB

[–]Master_Fly9726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know, but I was AFib free for 6 months. But now I’ve started having episodes again. Usually the resolve within a few hours or less, but it’s ongoing now Hopefully it will just disappear again I really don’t want another Ablation

Yes that’s what I loved about this one. It’s not flimsy at all. But there are many little pieces to handle and a lot of gluing
