My Apple 7 watch woke me in the middle of the night showing Atrial Fibrillation, when I sat up, I realized that I was in the middle of having a heart attack. Rushed to the hospital and had to have a stint installed. Remarkably this is a week after having started my COVID shots and feel they are related. I'm on medications now and feeling better but I Thank Apple for saving my life, because knowing me I would have tried to ignore the chest pain had it not been for the watch. Best part was showing all the doctors in the hospital that the watch showed my heart rhythm, none believed me!

If you took the clot shot you need to help your vody and heart heal. Nattokinase does that best and also NAC.

ACE2 is part of what regulates blood pressure. The immunologist at university of Guelph who got cv19 and used his lab to show and study how humans develop immunity, studied the trial data, was silenced. Just typing the name might trigger the algorithm. I have noticed that linking to certain content can trigger a warning. The fact that ace2 is part of a signalling process is well by known. It’s like how caffeine by fitting into adenosine receptors alter sleepiness. It doesn’t have to do anything but bind to effect.

@mcaddc 9 месяцев назад

I developed atrial fibrillation 2 weeks after my compulsory booster for Covid. There have been studies that show damage to the heart muscle from the mRNA induced spike protein. I was first notified of this issue via my Apple Watch which picked up my initial issue which was brachicardia. The slow rhythm, 37-45 bpm, eventually changed to chronic atrial fibrillation where my heart rate at rest was regularly over 100bpm. Any activity would make it race to 150+ or more. Multiple skipped and irregular heartbeats. I’m now on blood thinners and blood pressure medication. I was perfectly healthy pre booster shot. Edit: I also wanted to add that I caught Covid about a month after my AF, so no chance that my condition developed from catching the virus. My elderly mother caught the virus about 3 days after myself. She was not vaccinated, became sick for 1 day, and the next was up doing her housework. I was bed ridden for about 5 days.

There is hope that you can get completely better. I am over 60, family history of heart issues , sleep apnoea, thyroiditis, and a lifelong smoker, if i can get better from it then a lot can. I also stopped all sports and rested a lot, to the detriment of my overall health but i am sure a quiet environment has helped my heart heal slowly I am unvaccinated so it can get you either way.

Anomalous right cornary artery 90% compressed between the pulmonary artery and aorta, no wonder i had passed out after playing sport. 4 weeks later open heart surgery - unroofing the artery, bypass (plan B surgeon said ) and ablation with a atriclip.

This video is excellent and certainly appreciated! I am 78 and had my first (and so far only) paroxysmal episode with very obvious symptoms earlier this year. I was immediately prescribed rivaroxaban (Xarelto). Answers to my questions from an otherwise excellent cardiologist wrt the need for Xarelto while in normal rhythm and quantifying the risk of adverse bleeding if use NSAIDs (much OA pain) have been much less than satisfying or useful. This presentation answered these and many other questions in addition to providing an excellent, needed, understandable, useful, and respectful primer on the subject aimed at a level higher than intellectually compromised. The medical profession universally does not recognize how much compliance is compromised by a "do this or else" approach. Thank you.

Within 1 week of blood thinner, I felt better prior to my one ablation 26 months ago(my iron also gets too high = thick blood) I had a horrific try on sotolol for afib rhythm (which failed miserably). My ablation was done 100% in afib as 5 cardioversions did not work. Grateful my Dr was so talented & experienced and loved a challenge. Dr basically cryptoablated most the back side of my heart. I stay on a blood thinner for life now. Not much more they can do. I remember after my surgery, I had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming or not, no heart thumbing. It was wonderful.

Terrific explanation. We needed this kind of conversation when my mom went into the hospital with pleural effusions. We had a cardio consult while she was there and he said she now had baseline afib. But she never felt the afib. The reason we were at the hospital was because of the effusions. No one mentioned a nexus. The effusions became more frequent and it was two years before her pulmonologist suggested that the pleural effusions were likely caused by the afib. She would have tried the ablation or the drugs even the cardioversion if it would have stopped the effusions, too.

I tried one of the Cardio Mobile and found it inconsistent. I was told by one of their reps that it may be due to the pacemaker so I returned it. I find physical exertion can bring on AFIB. Things like pushing a car for example bring it on. Limiting my exertion level or type of exertion seems to help. Tiredness is my biggest issue but as you get older you don't know what to blame. Thanks, Keep up the good work.

At 85, I've heart disease; it runs in our family. But thanks to the efforts of my cardiologists, I'm still here. And that's the key.

And most recently they installed a pacemaker.

@leochen887 11 месяцев назад

One key to my survival has been that I've been under the care of a team of cardiologists for years/decades who are able to make diagnoses and able to intervene on a timely basis, thus avoiding the necessity of rushing me to the ER because of some medical emergency, where medical decisions are made under chaotic and very stressful circumstances.

I can confirm that the likelihood of AFib is higher with alcohol. And for me other risks are of higher influence also. Stress, not enough sleep, high blood pressure and for me speaking e-cigarettes. If all come together it leads to AFib for sure. Positive influence has moderate exercise such as walking and I think caffein. I quit drinking alcohol and the other risks just happen but I should always be aware of what I am doing.

Really great. Recently diagnosed with a-fib. My sister too who had remodeling and her son who has had ablation. I am not sure, but I think anxiety is going to get me. ☺️ I am 79 years old. Now I have issues with insurance pre-approval. Thank you to Dr. Marcus and all those who have lent their talents and efforts to help. God bless you.

@@tip6725 I take two; one to stop me going into af, the other to stop me going into atrial flutter, which is the worse, I gather. Flecainide 200mg daily, along with Dilitazem 120mg daily. Since taking these, I have had no further instances of af, yet have done several long bike tours. They may make you a little breathless, but they work for me.

⚡️❤⚡️ I have plowed through a ton of media of all kinds since being diagnosed with AFib in Sept. of 2023 and this is by far the most comprehensive, informative and relevant resource that I have encountered! It also seems to be the most up to date and cites recent studies to contradict some assumptions that are widely accepted by most other sources I've consulted, including my GP. (I can drink regular coffee?! There are now antidotes for modern blood thinners?!) The only topics I would've liked to have seen included would have addressed how diet, alcohol and exercise can affect or be affected not by AFib itself, but by the medications used to treat AFib. I also would've appreciated some information and/or opinions regarding the Minimaze procedures as options to ablation. I'll be rewatching this one!

A friend of mine is scheduled for an ablation early next year , she's been on beta blockers , anticoagulants , she had an 'eye' stroke 3 years ago leading to blindness in that eye . She is not well controlled on the meds...hopeful ablation will give her a better quality of life

@paulamcminn2532 9 месяцев назад

I had an ablation 29 years ago. The episodes improved, but it didn’t totally stop them. Over the years I have found a few things that helped. I started taking a magnesium supplement and that helped. I also noticed that I had more when eating sugar, gluten. A keto diet works best for me. I still am able to enjoy a cup of coffee every day, with no episodes. I do self medicate with a baby aspirin 3-4 week, just in case.

Very informative. I have had Paramoxl Afib since I was 21 (59 now) and have just switched from Sotalol and Flecainide. I am hopeful this will reduce the number of episodes I have and am in the process of getting an ablation. I knew a fair bit about the condition, but you broadened my knowledge and explained the various options much better than I had known before. Thank you.

@MrDopug 4 месяца назад

@@michellemaynard4385 I have only been cardioverted once...and that was about 5+ year ago. Normally I wait it out....my episodes usually last between 12-24 hours. As I have aged, they have become much more frequent. The last few months, I have been going in / out of Afib every 2-3 days. Quite tough. I have just been put on 75mg flecainide with Bisoprolol beta blocker and I am 11 days without an episode.......fingers crossed.

@wobby1516 10 месяцев назад

My wife was told by her consultant to buy and use the Kardia unit whenever she had an episode. Then to E mail the result to him and from those results he diagnosed atrial fibrillation. She’s now on Apixaban and Bisoprolol, so far she’s not had another episode of atrial fibrillation. Her mother died at a fairly early age from several strokes.

When my Garmin smartwatch measures my pulse rate at rest going from 80 to 150, I may not know it's my Afib, but I'm pretty sure something is going wrong. And since I've been diagnosed with Afib, my go-to explanation is Afib. Either that, or I'm transmogrifying into a hummingbird. And I don't see any feathers yet.

I wish someone would investigate the effect that topical salicylic acid has on causing AF. When I used astringent on my face, it would cause AF after a few days of use. After cessation of the astringent it would take a couple of days for the AF to stop (pissing out the salicylic acid in my system). Recently I got AF from sunscreen, and I found they also contained a form of salicylic acid. Stopped the sunscreen and the AF went away. Nothing I googled has shown a connection between topical salicylic acid and AF, only irregular HR from high doses of “ingested” salicylic acid.

Have you investigated the use of vitamin D3 for the treatment of Afib. My heart used to shake my bed when I went to bed at night. I started to take vitamin D3 for prostate cancer (10,000 units ). After a blood test we discovered that I was still short of D3, so I took 20,000. The result was that my Afib was reduced to the point that I have almost normal heart rhythm. A ECG still shows Afib on the printout. But I have a good life. I am 88 and was first told i had irregular heart rate when I was 14 years old. I would be interested in your reaction to this.

In July 2022, my husband insisted I put his Apple watch on at the dentist office of all places because he noticed I had been short of breath a lot recently. His watch indicated I was in AFib. I checked my Fitbit app which had also picked up AFib the previous night. I went directly to the ER where I was diagnosed with AFib.

@karen-zr9ge 9 месяцев назад

Sadly, Apple watches emit radiation which can also attribute to your AFib, as well many of us almost constantly being in the soup of other electromagnetic frequencies from WiFi, cell phones & towers, smart meters & appliances, etc, etc

@dale116dot7 Год назад

I have a-fib, I first got a “picture” of it on a FitBit Sense. It also has an electrical EKG function and that is what I used. Usually it would revert to sinus on its own, usually after 5-10 minutes, though once it took a couple of hours and I went to the ER for that episode and that is where I got the official diagnosis. Caffeine doesn’t seem to affect mine much, what does is taking a proton pump inhibitor and/or any alcohol. Usually I will feel a flutter earlier in the day, I take a beta blocker if I feel anything “weird” and it hasn’t happened since, probably this happens once every three or four weeks.

Cardia Mobil is extremely useful and reliable. I’ve been using one since 2017. When in Afib, only Amioderone was effective in getting me out of Afib. In September of this year, I had ablation surgery. So far, since the surgery, I’ve gone into Afib several times, but, each time, it has resolved on its own, within a couple of hours, and without my having to take amioderone.

Alcohol wrecks my heart rate - especially when sleeping, and four glasses of wine for my caused a-fib while sleeping. One glass of wine at night lowers my HRV, and more than that keeps my heart rate high all night. It’s just not worth it to me to drink regularly. Especially after my breast cancer diagnosis.
