Unexpected Fast AF
I posted earlier about some AF which started this morning at 0130. I took various Kardia readings and discovered that the heart was beating at about 75-85 bpm for several hours. When I got up at about 0900, however, the reading shot up to 146 bpm, then, very surprisingly, 10 minutes later after taking

NIDDUK quote - link between diabetes type 2 and stroke
People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease at a younger age than people without diabetes. In adults with diabetes, the most common causes of death are heart disease and stroke. Adults with diabetes are nearly twice as likely to die from heart disease or stroke as people without diabetes.2.

Afib or PACS
My afib/flutter has been well controlled in recent months with Tikosyn and propranolol and my year old pacemaker but the past few evenings following dinner I have had episodes of very brief tachycardia. I wear an apple watch so have quickly checked and can see jump to 120 and last night 150. They are

i'm very lightheaded most of the time. Could it be apixaban? Or is it normal for Parkinsons? my GP says try Dabigatran.
ive been on Apixaban (5 mg x 2 daily) since 2016 for Afb after my stroke and subsequent major heart surgery - fine, my bloods are very healthy. I'm fighting PD with exercise, food and meditation etc. I have good days, bad days but the light headedness is around most of the time. I am 78 and weigh 50kilos

Pain in stomach after running
I could google it but I’d probably read that I’d need a triple heart bypass or something... the last two times I’ve been running, after an hour or two, I seem to get a pain in my stomach on the left hand side, which lasts into the night. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced similar or if anyone

Higher BP andHR
I’m 70 and I had open heart surgery to remove a Myxoma in my left atrium at the beginning of October 2020.

Medtronic DBS battery change: opportunity for improved therapy?
Coming in 2021 for me is a Medtronic DBS battery change: what are the opportunities for improved hardware and software? How about comments on rechargeable vs non-rechargeable battery? If possible please share links to any source material.

Severe anxiety always thinking I’m having a heart attack
Hi, I have been having chest pains for about a week now. I’m constantly thinking that I’m having a heart attack. My anxiety is the worst it has been in years. Is it possible to have a heart attack for a week straight? I’m always thinking if the worst, however I do have some acid reflux and heartburn
