Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I found you on the internet. I did a search on AFIB and there you were. One problem that I have with doctors is that some of them do things that are convenient for them and not necessarily the best thing for the patient. In the past few months I have switched mostly to doctors that teach in The Baylor College of Medicine. I am pleased with the better quality of service and better work ups.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I found you from a yahoo search. I was just diagnosed with AFIB the beginning of this month. Being new to this, I am just realizing how many episodes of AFIB I have daily (roughly seven to ten). I always use to think the jumping and moving around in my chest was normal until it got harder.... I have an echo exam tomorrow and will find out more (I hope). For this time period I have been taking daily 180 mg of tilazem and 81 mg of ecotrin. I thought it would control my episodes, but it hasn't. > Where oh where are all our new members coming from?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I searched on Google and found the group after I was diagnosed with Atrial Flutter a couple weeks ago. You doctor only tells you so much, I learned much more about AF here. Glad to see I'm not alone in this and the hope that others have to rid ourselves of this.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Greetings Ellen from the Isle of Man! I found you when trawling the net. It is very interesting to read the posts from other members of our elite club! It makes me realise too that I am not alone with my funny heartbeat. I was beginning to think I was! Nobody I spoke to about it had even heard of it. Of course I do live on a verysmall Island but there must be others like me. I can also appreciate that I am not as bad as a lot of your members. Whilst writing may I wish you the very best for Christmas and the New Year - a healthier one for all of us! God bless us everyone. Shirley. " Ellen G.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Eileen: When did you have your initial consultation with Dr. Natale? How long will the wait have been from initial consultation to when you get the procedure done in March? Did he (they) tell you how many people are on the waiting list?
