Newly diagnosed angina
Just recently been diagnosed with angina after an episode of pain while running up a hill. I'd always thought the shoulder pain was connected to my brachial plexus pain, which was also diagnosed at same time (had it for years) and I was prescribed Gabapentin for this. The thing is this then cleared

Hello everyone my latest concern after my ablation 3 weeks ago is I have noticed my usually strong pulse on my left wrist is now very faint, with the one on my right wrist stronger than pre ablation. I saw my GP today who said he agreed but had not come across this before and mentioned something about

Off the AF meds, scared!
Has anybody got a similar experience of coming off the meds so soon, it just seems early days I spoke to my Cardiologist last week, after an ablation in September I was tachycardic and a cardio version was required in December. Sinus rhythm restored and February 7th he took me off both the beta blockers

Waxing or hair removal when on Warfarin
Hi. I just had a mechanical valve replacement on the 16th of August 2023. I would like to get waxed. Is it possible to? I have never bled before warfarin. Are there other hair removal methods that are safer or can I stick to waxing?

Atrial fibrillation in early 50s for no obvious reason
Hi, I'm 51 years old, fit, healthy, no high BP, don't smoke, eat mostly a plant based diet and had my first afib episode a month ago. A&E couldn't find a cause and put it down to dehydration and over doing it. They sent me away with no medication. A fews weeks later I started getting migraines with aura

Aortic stenosis
Morning all , I’m 14 months post my second ablation which was an RF redo to tidy up the PV and left atrial floor as I was told . I’m very pleased with my progress so far with only two mild and short episodes of AF . I also have mild to moderate stenosis of the valve which I was told in 2017 would have

Bisoprolol/flecanide/amytriptiline
Looking for some advice. I've been on varying doses of Bisoprolol for 2 years now, hate the stuff, feel lethargic and foggy headed and seem unable to lose weight, despite the fact I keep the dose as low as I can. The arrhythmia nurse did try changing it to verapamil and that led to the only AF episode

Ablation appointment take two …..
Deep breath and all fingers crossed, I’ve been given provisional appointment for cryoablation end of this month. They need to use an internal echocardiogram on me (ICE) due to previous heart surgery and clot risk. There is only one such thing in the locality which is why they had to cancel todays appointment

Mild aortic stenosis...is this normal?

Finally after trying to chase the a&e cardiologist who checked the echocardiogram he said my results were all normal. So I requested my results to check for myself as I feel rotten daily and it's says
