my doctor told me i had this artrial fibrillation three weeks ago ive had an ultrasound and its normal but im still getting this problem every day i am on medication but it does not seem to help much at the moment so if the ultrasound was normal why have i still got this
When I was first diagnosed with atrial fibrilation it was trial and error with the medication until the right one was found that kept my Af under control. So maybe there is need for a change of medication.
Best wishes.
Hi frances its a bloody awful thing to have mines come back big time after a gap of 4 months and i hate it with a passion just trying to get my meds right and medical lot to get it sorted chin up and battle on
Hi Frances - go back to your gp and let them know my ultrasound was also normal the consultant said they sometimes just dont know why - you might just need your medication increased or changed. hope you feel better soon
it is a worry but i had the ultrasound which was ok then angiogram which showed up parixysmal atrial fibrillation i also had the 24 hour monitor really it was the monitor that showed up im on medication which has helped the consultant is talking about having a ablation but im a bit scared of that mine all started just a year ago thought things were much better but this last week im now getting a little pain about 3 x day the right side at the front of my chest each time i have ecg its mostly in sinus i have a good gp but this all takes its time and i dont know about you but many times i feel real ill also before i go remember to get refered to a consultant wish you al the best

do you get any pain only this pain i get is horrid drs seem to take no notice of it you really cant explain how you feel just that you know something is not right also im so cold i take warfrain wonder is that anything to do with being cold i see you are tired same here i think it helps when you can see others have the same symptom wish you well when you know anything let us know
Warfarin causes a lot of people to feel cold. I know someone who wears an overcoat in summer. It can also commonly cause joint pain and hair loss.
My pain is in my chest i said to doctor it feels like stitch he hust blanked me i was on warfarin last year doing the blood count thing did my bead in boring hospital 3 times aweek
For goodness sake get a pacemaker fitted , then it's no meds
Tried to get me on the waferin merrygoround, I refused point blank,
they put me on anticoagulant tablets straight away,seen to many on warfarin
having to have checks every week, not of that for me
I asked my doctor if a pacemaker would help and he said not in my case. So a pacemaker is not always the answer I wish it was that simple.
Its so boring on warfarin
Charles if it cured me i would have a frogs heart fitted
Hi all my name is pat
from North west UK
i have A F just out the blue 10 years ago
I hate being on Warfrin but if it helps then what can you do I love my Veg but it plays Havoc with warfrin
i Am 62
`hi Pat like you i find it very hard to keep my I N R leval i really enjoy my veg there is no way i want to eat it 7 days though i have my blood taken and its either up or down to much so i have to take more warfrain or less or leave it off for a few days it is a bit of a pain i started on warfrain in june last year.
Coumadin is a tablet been about 2 years
no blood test readings sounds great but more money than warfrin
I cannot get it off my. GP because of cost it is crazy
What was the tablets called Charles the Antocoagulant ones please
