Is there anybody out there?

Since joining a few years ago, I've had a cardiac arrest and died with a dual chamber pacemaker and I have a AAA. I also have been diagnosed with IPF Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and now use oxygen when I do tasks in the garden or housework and when I go out walking. I was just wondering if there is anyone else who has both ischemic heart and IPF as I would love to share experiences as so far, I haven't managed to find anyone to talk to. Thanks

Hello :-)

I am sorry no one seems to have had the same issues as you are going through or maybe they just did not see your post if there is someone that has so you could try posting again or you could try talking with the BHF Nurses to see if they have any advice

Despite what you are going through I hope you managed to have a Happy Christmas :-) x
