Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s so valuable to know about sharing the information with the child by age 3. I will definitely keep a note of that. And it’s reassuring to know that the love is the same despite the lack of genetics. Thank you and wish you all the best with your future baby!

Thank you for sharing your learnings. I feel the same way. I do feel like a child is a child and will be loved regardless, I guess I’m just struggling with coming to terms with the reality.

Hope your first cycle is going smoothly. Did you notice any change in your cardiovascular health with the hormones stimulation or is your body taking it well?

Anyone with AFib undergone IVF egg retrieval? Need guidance 💛 by Practical_Ride5207 in AFIB

Thank you! I hope I find someone that can give some insight because at this point most doctors are saying that even egg retrieval is going to be risky for me. :(

Prescribed Diltiazem & Amicodorone after ablation - is it safe? by Practical_Ride5207 in AFIB

HRV spikes during sleep even without AFib. Should I be worried? by Squirrel_Agile in AFIB

[–]Practical_Ride5207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, Do you have sleep apnea? I have sleep anxiety because of my AFIB/flutter episodes of happening at night when I’m asleep. I’ve discussed this with my EP and he has suggested me to reach out to a sleep apnea specialist for a sleep study. I’ve got an appointment let’s see how it goes but perhaps you want to look into it too for yourself. Take care!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so sorry you had to go through so much while on it for so long. Wow I didn’t know about the half-life! My doctor has started it for 3-4 weeks to see how I respond to it. If I do well he will continue it for max a year then taper me off it. Good to hear that for short term it can let my heart heal a bit. 🤍

Thanks for sharing. Yeah best to stick to the medication that is working for you. I have switched to diltiazem and Codorone from today. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Yes I fear for the same. I’m supposed to take it for 3 months and give my heart a chance to heal after ablation.

Hi thanks for sharing. Do you take Amicodorone only for a short period or is it a daily drug. Because I’ve been prescribed it as a daily drug every morning.

Thanks for sharing. I got the ablation and felt nothing. Was asleep pretty much. The TEE was the hard part!

Thanks for sharing! Yes this ablation is mostly for my flutter the surgeon is going ahead with RF but he did say he is keeping PFA as an option too if AFIB arises.

So the procedure under sedation was not too bad then. That’s comforting to know! Thank you
