Has anyone had their ablation abandoned due to phrenic nerve?
On Wednesday I went into hospital for my fifth ablation since Dec 2016. This might seem like a lot but I have a congenital heart condition. I underwent five open heart surgeries in childhood. So my EP says my heart is quite scarred and irritable from the operations, hence me having recurring issues with

The Surgeon’s Cut
Hello everyone and hope you are all in good spirits and smiling. Those of you who have Netflix may have heard of this series of 4 documentaries. One of which involves removing blood clots from the lung - transforming the life of the patient who could barely breathe he had such severe pulmonary restriction

Heart failure and permanent
Hiya all, I have heart failure and feel it might be getting worse as I am really tired and sleeping half the day away. Is there any procedure to help heart failure? I have been told I am lucky as don't have any blocked or furred up tubes but feel that people who have procedures seem to have better lifestyles

Hi all I was having flutters following a heart attack at the beginning of the year. My GP gave me a portable ecg device that I can use during an episode to track it but it only ever happens once and by the time I put the device on it has stopped. Can I stop worrying about it if they are not long enough

BP Monitors and AF
My heart surgery was not able to resolve my AF, the surgeon ran out of time (11 hours i was 'under the knife').

A thought for our loved ones.
My triple bypass heart surgery was recently cancelled at the last minute. Although disappointed I was OK about it. My wife however was very upset by the cancellation. She had built herself up for me to have the operation so emotionally it was a big come down. It got me thinking. When facing major surgery

Pain threshold?
Am I being a wimp & just need to man up? I really don’t know how I’m meant to feel or if the level of aches & pain I’m experiencing is ‘normal’ or as expected - can anyone tell me how they feel and deal with this ? I’m struggling in the mornings with stiff legs, lower back pain getting out of bed. Then

Chest Pain
Hi, my mum has recently been admitted to hospital with chest pain and shortness of breath, they thought she may be having a heart attack but having further test her arteries are all clear and they have put it down to either stress or her fibromyalgia saying this can cause chest pain, is this a common

A week ago I was offered an ablation for this monday (2 days ago) and I took it. Now at home recovering. AVNRT successfully ablated

Scientists discover how COVID-19 virus causes multiple organ failure in mice.
UCLA researchers are the first to create a version of COVID-19 in mice that shows how the disease damages organs other than the lungs. Using their model, the scientists discovered that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can shut down energy production in cells of the heart, kidneys, spleen and other organs. "This

Delayed heart surgery trauma?
Hello, I'm new here! I had open heart surgery at 10 years old (I'm now 21) and had my sternum wires removed 3 years ago. Recently I have been having really bad health anxiety - worrying about my general health and death/dying. I cannot comprehend the fact that I ever had heart surgery and the thought

I have had many occipital nerve blocks. I will randomly get migraines that last for about 6 weeks about twice a year. I go in to my neurologists office daily and get the occipital nerve blocks. He even meets me there on weekends. If I didn't get the nerve blocks I don't honestly know how I would survive

Yes I will have the vaccination
Re Vaccination If I had seen the video of a heart bypass before my op I honestly doubt if I could have got through . I therefore preferred to put my head in the sand and let them get on with it. It will be the same with this vaccination. I would rather that than dying slowly of something I knew I could
