Aaaaaand.. I’m back! In the hospital after being discharged 3 days ago.

My Apple Watch showed I was in afib 2 days ago. Did an EKG and the cardiologist office today and it showed atrial flutter. They send me directly to the ER.

They gave a drug to reduce heart rate. It worked some but rate went back up. Plan is to do cardioversion tomorrow preceded by a TEE to check for clots.

Best wishes! I am familiar with a-fib, a-flutter, cardio versions, meds & ablation. Having the MAZE procedure and left atrial clipping soon with MVR. I hated when I was in a-fib, especially extended bouts. Felt like I was going to die. Just horrible. Makes you appreciate a normal rhythm even more. Keep us posted please. What a great photo!!

Rose Madura Danny, it's common to have Afib and Aflutter after surgery. I had it off and on for about six weeks. Then it stopped. Mine apparently was a textbook case. Hopefully yours will go away on its own. God bless you.

Dan Fouratt I had an Aflutter event one week post surgery. Was back in for a few days. My Surgeon made rounds and said Aflutter is not unexpected after surgery. It is nothing to do with you but the surgery. I then said you mean it is your fault. Hang in their you will get it under control.

Deena Z Danny, disappointing, I know. But as others have said, not uncommon.

“Hiccups” as we sometimes call them on HVS are pretty common. I remember almost passing out in cardiac rehab, etc.

Hope that the docs get this under control now. Glad they are being so thorough!!!! Keep us updated.

Robert Miller Cardioversion most likely will help with the heart rate. It might not fix Afib. You might have to go on some medicine. Amiodarone might help with afib. Metoprolol might help with heartrate but it will also lower your blood pressure which can make you dizzy. If none of this helps, you might need some further intervention. But I am confident after the cardioversion you are fine.

Ana Kelton-Brand Danny, so sorry you're having atrial flutter. It's an awful experience. I was back in the hospital with AFIB 3 times in the week after HVS. I was on IV Amiodarone each time and then took oral Amiodarone for 3 months. I was also on Eliquis for 6 months. Still on Metoprolol for heart rate. I am one year post HVS and have not been in AFIB since those 3 episodes. Cardiologist told me it was common after HVS and said it would go away, and fortunately it did. Hope this is a short-term problem for you.

Only 5 days until my AVR surgery but I still ran a 5K today at the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend. Many months ago, I also signed up for the 10K tomorrow but my husband won’t let me do it! 😆 It’s so strange being asymptomatic and feeling good and knowing that there is this surgery and recovery that I must go through if I want to live a long healthy life.

Andrea Babcock Going into the surgery fit is a big advantage for good outcome and recovery. This is what my husband's surgeons and doctors told us. They did not want him to wait until his heart would get weak and enlarge more etc. He worked physically and went hiking with me until 2 days before the surgery. He also had barely any symptoms, no shortness of breath etc. 3 month after we were able to take our trip to Germany and Greece that was planned long before we knew he needed 2 new heart valves. He went with mechanical valves and now at 11 month after surgery doing great. I hope the same good outcome for you!!! Sending Hugs.
