Has anyone experienced or heard of an otherwise healthy person going into atrial flutter from sildenafil or tadalafil?
Yes. Especially if alcohol is consumed with it.
I actually had atrial flutter that went undiagnosed through 2 cardiologists. This went on for years. I was actually going in to see an electrophhysiologist to see about a pacemaker. He spotted it and I had a cardio ablation procedure the next day. My heart had enlarged over the years of compensating for the low atrial output. I had the procedure almost a year ago exactly my heart function has steadily improved in that time. Mine was due to scar tissue from a heart operation I had when I was 4 years old, caused increased pacemaker cell activity. Don't fuck with this. Mine was really bad by the time that doctor caught it.
Do you have a link for this? I quick checked (very quick) and didn't see anything stand out. I haven't heard this before but it is interesting if so.
Criticalben1....I want to get an ablation so I dont have to worry about atrial flutter again in the future. How was your experience getting the ablation?
How do you know it's atrial flutter and not palpitations?
The actual procedure was nothing. They drug you up. Fentynal and adivan i believe. I wound up in the hospital for a week because I had a bad reaction to the drugs, probably because my heart was weak at the time. Most people go home the next day.I had palpitations start Thursday so I went to Dr Friday. I had atrial flutter. They gave me a cardioversion to put me back to normal rhythm. I had every test under the sun for 2 days before I left hospital and all tests showed I was healthy and no issues.
Electro cardiologist said he thinks I may have sleep apnea and need to do a sleep study. Have follow up with him Monday.
Only thing other than sleep apnea is I took tadalafil the day before, however, I've taken tadalafil as well as sildenafil many times before. I did read in a study relating to sildenafil and tadalafil causing atrial flutter in some patients. So I was curious if anyone experienced that or knew of it.

post hoc ergo propter hocSee attached article in regards to viagra and/or cialis as a possible contributor to atrial flutter.
Thoughts?

It's a case study of a single incidence so hard to know what it means aside from that individual.
I have afib. Somewhat controlled with meds. If i take cialis to many days in a row it triggers my afib. With a pretty big drop in blood pressure also, witch makes me feel like shit. I never touch equipoise or trenbolone anymore either it really triggered it lol.
I know from experience that alcohol can make my heart go into ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. I don't think it is too much of a stretch to think it can do similar to the atria.
I have a friend who says marijuana triggers his.
