Heart issues because of MS?
Whats up gang, I hope you're all good.
So long story short I suffered a bout of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) for 25hrs with a heart beat between 177-200+ around 8 weeks ago. And I still get (daily) rather unsettling heart flutters, i'm still waiting on a review with a Cardiologist but the tests they completed in the hospital basically found nothing wrong. I also have a low resting heart rate 37-49 when chilling (Bradycardia).
I haven't given it much thought but I read this paper today and there seems to be a possible like and cause of heart related issues because of MS.

Has anyone had any issues with their heart and spoke to their neuro about it and i'm not talking about heart issues because of a biproduct of MS, but more specific to dymelination causing damage to the automic nervous system etc.
Thanks,
Interesting you say that as I had an episode of strange heart symptoms a few years ago that lasted a few weeks. This was before the MS diagnosis. I could feel my heart doing a lot of irregular beats. I was seen by a cardiologist and had tests done, including a heart scan, and a monitor for 2 weeks (ECG Holter). By the time I started the monitor though my symptoms got much better, and in the end the conclusion was that nothing was wrong, and the irregular beats they recorded were within the norm. The whole thing was odd, and since the MS diagnosis I sometimes think about this episode and wonder if it was some kind of relapse. I've had a few weird things happening to me over the last few years, and I now know they very probably all MS related. Haven't spoken to the neuro about it though, there's never enough time during the appointments!
Similar story here! I'm trying to ignore it as I am on a waiting list for a portable 48 hour recorder ECG. Giving up whisky seems to have improved things!
