GCA, Afib, heart failure
I was concerned my Afib following a TIA Aug 23 wasn’t controlled. GP requested bloods for BNP plus CRP/ ESR which hadn’t been done since March. I have had bouts of fatigue which have up to now been linked to adrenals following a Syncathen test. The CRP came back as 15, ESR 14. Rheumatology helpline suggested

EKG Stress Test
Last Month i had an EKG at hospital with the drug to induce heart rate as if we are on treat mills, Dobutamine drug. My Rate would not increase as fast as they wanted, so kept giving me a bit more through canula, all of a sudden it shot up, and i heard the operator on one of the machine say that my

my TAVI experience
hi I had myTAVI on Wednesday and apart from horrendous bruising and for some reason a bit of backache I am home. One or two minor problems in hospital with oxygen level dropping to 70 and ECG being ‘prolonged’ but everything settled fine . They said my heart had 80% pressure not sure what that means

Palpitations/Arrhythmias safe/unsafe limits
So my problems still continuing, but at least I know from the angiogram done Dec 2023, my heart is clear of blockages, but I have some furring of the arteries Does anyone know what are the safe/unsafe limits for palpitations/arrhythmias, which I'm currently experiencing. So from the beginning of May

Time between Afib trigger & episode
Hi all, I've very recently been diagnosed with Afib (thanks, Apple Watch for highlighting the problem I'd never heard of) and have been to the GP/hospital since February to get a proper diagnosis. So far all my results are showing normal (blood pressure, Echo, blood tests, that sort of thing). ECG did

Angina
Hi everyone. Over a few years, my nana, uncle and nephew died young of heart failure and my brother is waiting to have 4 stents put in. For about a year I have had chest pains on and off and I informed the gp that heart failure ran in my family on my mums side. They said everything was normal. But in

Hi Everyone and thanks for all your replys to my previous post. My Wife ended up phoning for an Ambulance at 01:30 this morning as I couldn't breathe or feel my legs. I used my GTN SPRAY but didn't help. Anyway the Ambulance man was brilliant he did all the checks and was talking to my wife about me.

Dronenadrone and Bisoprolol
Hi all Is anyone else on Bisoprolol alongside Dronenadrone (Multaq)? The Multaq has been very successful to date at reducing my AF burden to 2% or less every week measured via Apple Watch Series 8. After a 24 hour ecg holter my cardiologist thinks that I have an arrythmia called SVT (Super Ventricula

ER visit vomiting and diarrhea and heartbeats
Addition to earlier post about ER, etc. Before the ER visit I I had been experiencing pounding heart after some regular activities. EKG didn’t show anything the doctor didn’t talk to me about any tests they did. At the ER the rate was slightly above 100. They kept me until it was below

Little update
Hey everyone Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I went on holiday last week with Dan, my best friend and her family. We went to Mablethorpe on the East coast for a week and me and Dan before that had a few days in Derbyshire. I had an ECG before we went and my heart rhythm was slightly abnormal so

Personal Device to buy for 24hr home ECG.
I had a pulmonary vein isolation procedure 2 years ago for paroxysmal SVT/ ectopics. Been in NSR for two years 😊. Since having Covid booster 6 weeks ago had a return of arrhythmias and SOBE. So back on Apixaban ( had some at home and GP Px some more). Over last few days no daytime arrhythmias 👍, but

Update to ‘Waiting List’ post - cardiology appointment
This morning I had my cardiology appointment re my development of Left Bundle Branch Block. After the usual procedure - ECG, height, weight, BP, oxygen - I was called in to see the cardiologist, who, I have to say, I didn’t take to. I realise it’s sheer old fashioned prejudice but in a situation that

Unusual prescription?
Hoping this is the right forum... Hi all, I'm 73 with no weight, diabetes or BP ailments. A CT scan at a Targeted Lung Check last year revealed mild emphysema and "coronary artery calcification". The ensuing ECG indicated heart block (LAFB). Following an ultrasound last Thursday, I was prescribed these

Lightheadedness after AFib episode
A few weeks ago I posted about not being given any medication to shorten my AFib attacks and received many useful replies. Thank you all.. Since then I have sent my ECG readings to my cardiologist and 2 weeks ago I was started on 50 mg Flecanide twice a day with instructions to take another 50 mg one

Kardia EKG - the answer to my worries over my palpitations and heart racing!
My latest rabbit hole has been the fear and worry over palpitations, racing heart, flutters etc. My worry grows when I read similar questions on this forum, I know so many people have palpitations… and some actually have heart issues, some probably do not , and then there’s others like me - scared with

Difficult week
After my last admission I was experiencing considerable pain again , went to hospital & after ecg was blue lighted to Belfast. I was having a stemi and my right artery was blocked. A stent was fitted straight away but unfortunately I went into cardiac arrest afterwards, I'm so lucky I was in a hospital

understanding what's going on
I've had a mild arrhythmia for years, and now it's much more frequent, so I'm trying to understand what's happening and if I need to take any action. I've been to my GP to talk about it a couple of times over the past 2 years and had an ECG on each occasion, but entirely predictably, the symptom was
