Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group

@veronica0127 Thanks for chiming in. When I wrote that a few weeks back, it was three years after my second ablation. It's a long story, but my first failed drastically inside of six days and I had to be in the ICU and put on amiodarone. Second ablation seven months later worked, and I have been free of AF ever since. The three ablations back-to-back were about six weeks before the second ablation....none of them kept me in NSR for more than a short reprieve.

Hello, I'm from Arkansas, and I was diagnosed with Afib mid March this year and currently on eliquist. Also have anemia and Kidneys were in stage 4 failure. Kidneys have recovered somewhat and Doc thinks will get back to my normal. Now am trying to figure out with condition to address first. other symptoms are shortness of breath when walking and exertion,

Hello my name is Roger and my condition is PSVT(paroxismal supra ventricular tachycardia)

@doclarrea Welcome. How are you managing? Do you have confidence in your 'team'? Do you have a plan that you agree with and are following?

@richard54 Just my inexpert opinion, but I would expect your 'handlers' to want to correct the anemia ASAP, which might also improve your cardiac function........................no? If the anemia can be fixed, your kidneys 'should' improve some, maybe a lot, but your blood will oxygenate the organs better, and also your heart. You may never have AF again, and that could mean you can discontinue the Eliquis, which would be awesome. So, if I were better educated than I am, and a betting man, I'd put money on them wanting to tackle your anemia aggressively. That's not to say a cardiologist wouldn't want to monitor you or refer you to an electrophysiologist at the same time, but you'll soon find out. Good luck. AF is no fun if you are symptomatic, as I was/am, but it won't kill you. Anemia is a more serious problem in my view...for now.
