DRONEDARONE vs Flecainide

Just wanted to share for those who may be looking for stories about people's experiences with AFib and ablation treatment. I'm sure there are a lot of accounts like mine, but I wanted to share as well to hopefully add to the plethora of positive experiences with trying to treat this condition. In Ja

According to the [Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America](https://www.aafa.org/allergy-facts/), approximately 7.7 percent of adults and 7.2 percent of children experience symptoms of allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever.  For these individuals, relief from symptoms may require the use of

Hi everyone, I’m a 50-year-old man dealing with what seems to be vagal AFib... mostly happening in the early morning hours between 3 and 8 AM. It used to feel very obvious... I’d wake up feeling off, disconnected, a bit dizzy or strange... then it would usually reset later in the morning. Lately, th

400 mg BID of Multaq to amiodarone. Note: switching because of availability and not efficacy. Thank you

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to get some advice and hear your experiences with different medications for AFib. I’m currently taking Multaq (Dronedarone), but I’ve heard mixed opinions about it, and like many other medications, it comes with some side effects. It seems like every medication has its

This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2018/03/06/retrosynthesis-here-it-comes) reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot) ***** > Here, we describe an experiment where the software program Chematica designed syntheses leading to eight commercially valuable

37m 5’7 feet tall 165 pounds No medications I have paroxysmal afib with RVR with a few episodes per year. Had a very jarring experience at the ER and my primary care doctor found out about it and got very angry. Looking to see if anyone has heard of cardioversions without any sedation During an

Hey all! I had my ablation done today. I wanted to share my experience with you all since I’m a frequent poster and had major, major anxiety going into it. For context, I had a 14.7% PVC burden managed by Flecainide. Because I didn’t want to have to take Flecainide for the rest of my life, my dr an

I'm not sure what compelled me to write all of this, but I hope it will help someone. I'm sorry it's so long! TLDR: Im 33, tall, white, cis-man, scandinacian heritage, live in USA. I've experienced PVCs for years. Getting sober didn't help. Meds helped reduce how "hard" or papable the PVCs are. Elec

My first time having afib was June 2023. I went to nap after having lunch and I felt my heart beating out of rhythm. I was freaked out and checked my Apple Watch, did the EKG and it showed AFib. I didn’t believe it so I went to urgent care, they did another EKG which confirmed the afib so I had to g

47M. 6” 185lbs. Just got my ablation done - was super easy and nothing to worry about. Background: I’ve had paroxysmal afib that was diagnosed 2 years ago. Was able to keep at bay with diet/exercise for a little more than 18 months. Started getting more regular episodes and decided I wasn’t going t

Hi, EP called on Tuesday and scheduled me for SVT ablation on today (Thursday). Procedure scheduled for 11:00 am with an arrival time of 9am. I arrived at 8:40am to admissions. Signed a bunch of hospital forms and checked in by 8:55am. Nurse brought me to a room at 9:20 am. She hooked up an IV in

Yesterday I caught a QT interaction between donepezil and flecainide, and a few days beforehand a donepezil x azithromycin interaction which ended up seeing the azithro withdrawn. Donepezil has good documentation for causing Torsades des pointes with agents like amiodarone or citalopram, but I'm not

Before my ablation I read many posts and they helped me a lot so I’m sharing my experience and hope it will help others especially because my case was successful. I had an ablation for PVCs/bigeminy one month ago in a university teaching hospital where I spent my career as a nurse. I went from havin
