Pressure on mid back causing AF to come on.

Once the pm was fitted i was able to forgo the node ablation. In the last few months ive been getting especially at night short breathed and coughing

CRT-P
I am due to have a CRT-P implant and an AV node ablation. If others out there have had this I would like to know what is what like and did it improve their quality of life. It is so difficult to ask the professionals question, so left feeling very nervous about these procedures.. All the posts are

anyone heard of long p wave
had my pacemaker in on Friday. Still in hospital with New med trial is bisoprolol, flecainide, amlodipine, xarelto. They say the flecainide is causing long p wave- I was taken off of flecainide in 2019 , but I thought it was for long qt wave. On this regiment of meds, no more spiking of heart

Sudden increase in resting Heart Rate?
Bit puzzled by this, wondering if anyone had any clever ideas? I've tried to ring the local arrhythmia nurses but not got through yet, emailed them yesterday but no reply so far. I'm on 1x1.25mg biso and 1x50 flec twice daily which appears to have been working Ok.
Saturday I did a local park run

Dual chamber pacemaker and HF
Hi, had a dual chamber pacemaker fitted back in July 2022 following AV node ablation.Now have HF, told by HF nurse possible cause may be due to the pacing of the R/H chambers causing strain to the L/H as it needs work harder Had symptoms of HF since being paced, HF just confirmed in the last week through

NERVE BLOCK INJECTION
Ive got neurological itch, which I am putting down to fibromyalgia, and I'm booked in for nerve block injections. Im worried it could possibly make things worse, as my body tends to over react to treatments with more pain. Lets hope it works for us both, I have no idea of the success rate with this

CBD (thc free) for pain relief
I’ve had a Triple Heart Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair. Before that I had a Lumber Spinal Laminectomy (which only worked for about 4 months). I’ve since also been diagnosed with Heart Failure so pain relief is very difficult. The Spinal Stenosis is now severe all down the Lumbar Region. I was given

full heart bypass
I have had a full heart bypass after just over 4 months waiting. I am now nearly 3 weeks post op. Nobody could have prepared me of how hard this is. I know I will feel better and I am getting stronger each day. The emotional rollercoaster is the worse. I am sad, angry and trying to be positive all at

How is AF and Heart Failure linked?
Although the term heart failure can sound ‘scary’ it does not mean that your heart is about to stop working! Although heart failure can be a serious condition, it only means your heart is not working as efficiently as it should be and that it needs a little help to make it work better. For further

Upcoming OHS
Hey all Joined after my mum recommended the site . Wish I'd known about it earlier. I'm 36 and have open heart surgery for sub aortic stenosis in less than 3 weeks. I'm just looking for someone that has had the same sort of surgery. Or even some mums around my age that have gone through it.. I'm really

A “success story” , finally.
I have been suffering the effects of AF plus the negative side of the meds for many years. Fortunately, after taking me two years considering the last option I went ahead. And in July 2023 I have a pacemaker insertion then in November had the AV Node ablation. It was needed a few weeks/months to deal

Pains after heart bypass
Hi, had double heart bypass 2 weeks ago and at least once a day I get pains in my neck and chest which ease when I walk about. I did have a partially collapsed lung whilst in hospital and wondered if this was something to do with it. Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I’m seeing the cardiac

nerve block injections
hello all I hope you are all having a low pain day I saw my orthopaedic consultant yesterday about my increasing lack of mobility and intensified chronic pain in my knees. I have both osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. He is referring me to another specialist with a view to nerve block injections

Do you find Doctors don’t physically examine you anymore ?
Had a heart bypass 4 years ago but since then I’ve had two unrelated problems that years ago would have entailed a physical examination- primarily by the doctor before a referral . Ok I’m a woman so I won’t go into the specific details . However I had to sign a form before the date of my referral giving

Contrast dye allergy vs keyhole surgery.
Has anyone here managed to have successful keyhole heart surgery, despite being unable to have contrast dye for CT scan? Were their surgical team able to obtain clear imagery despite this issue? If so, are you willing to share how they did please?

Wenckebach phenomenon
I have had two heart surgeries in the past and was getting skipped heart beats for a while. After my 24 hour ECG they found something called wenckebach phenomenon. Anyone have any idea what this is and is it normal for someone with a heart condition

symptoms following open heart surgery
hello, I had aortic valve replacement in 2022 at the age of 32. I’ve noticed that I can see my pulse in my right bicep/arm. It’s very visible. Not been feeling great the last few days and every now and again my heart feels a dull ache. My right eye is twitching a lot too. Has anyone had any
