Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group
Welcome to the Heart Rhythm Conditions group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
Did you know that the average heart beats 100,000 times a day? Millions of people live with heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) which occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats don't work properly. Let's connect with each other; we can share stories and learn about coping with the challenges, and living well with abnormal heart rhythms. I invite you to follow the group. Simply click the +FOLLOW icon on the group landing page.
I'm Kanaaz (@kanaazpereira), and I'm the moderator of this group. When you post to this group, chances are you'll also be greeted by volunteer patient Mentors and fellow members. Learn more about Moderators and Mentors on Connect.
Let's chat. Why not start by introducing yourself?

I have AFib but the palpitations haven’t happened for a while until yesterday when I went for a dental cleaning - I wasn’t worried or nervous about the visit however I’m wondering if placing the dental chair way back and almost flat is the reason why my palpitations started up when I got home. I could feel a slight flutter after the appt. and then the full onslaught of palpitations which lasted a few hours followed by up and down blood pressure and shortness of breath - feeling exhausted as well. It finally stopped before bedtime and I’m back to normal today. Just wondering if the position of the chair and me triggered them and if so I will ask to not place me as far back at the next appt. Any thoughts?

Is there anything in particular you would like some help with, or to know, doclarrea? Welcome to the forum.
Sajjad, I had a Pacemaker/ Defibrillator installed 2015 and it's shocked 16 times. I've had 7 ablations and recently an A V Nobe ablation. You may need an ablation in the future. Don't be scared to have it done, many people have great results.

Hi. I’m happy to be here. I’m a 68 year old retired RN. I have been diagnosed with PSVT (paroxysmal Supra ventricular tachycardia) 6 months ago. I am on propane one 150 three times a day and bisoprolol 2.5 mg daily. I joined because I am considering an ablation to terminate the pills.
Excellent, James. It is so reassuring when something simple makes all the difference.

1 ReactionMaybe. Maybe something else that is going on that amiodarone can't affect or has no 'encouraging' effect. Something that was already there, undetected, or would have appeared about now without the amiodarone....if you follow. There's no way to know unless they had purposefully assessed your PVH before prescribing the amio.
Obviously, with you now on amio, and with some mild PVH, your cardiologist/pulmonologist is going to keep a close eye, possibly requiring a monthly or bi-monthly assessment...or should.
Why not call and ask? If it were me, I'd be fully on top of what is coming down the pipe, be it prescribed or idiopathic.
