Driving - keep on going ?
This is my first post - please bear with me. I'm 76 and I've had heart failure for around five years and have been taking Ramipril and Bisoprolol to control the failure. Last November I had a Pacemaker fitted. The Doctors have decided I have a high burden of atrial fibrillation and need an anticoagulant

Massage
Hi everyone, is it safe to have a massage when you've got heart failure and PAF? I rang my surgery for advice and was told that they didn't know. Wishing you all well.

AF, heart failure and Digoxin
Hi, I started with AF in my mid thirties, I am now 60, and in 2013 was diagnosed with heart failure through mild left ventricular impairment due to right ventricular pacing (I am on my second pacemaker) and 2 leaking Valves. After the HF diagnosis I was put on Bisoprolol and ramipril, and kept on Digoxin

Microvascular heart disease
How would a person be diagnosed with microvadcular heart disease? Are there specific tests?? I feel the young cardio doctor is just grasping at straws as I fit most of the critetia. He has no other explanation for my daily angina which has become worse since 3 stents fitted a year ago after m.i. I now

Bisoprolol, can it cause insomnia?
I have been on a low dose, 1.25mg of Bisoprolol, which I take in the morning, for 3 weeks and my insomnia has got far worse, awake every night into the early hours of the morning. On top of that I am just not not feeling too well since taking it. I am due to see the heart failure nurse on 5th feb and

Second Blood Test
Ok, have just had results for 2nd blood test. 12th Dec gfr was 65 but I know I was not drinking enough. Now drink 4 or 5 cups coffee daily plus at least 1ltr of water but 2nd blood test was gfr 62 and creatinine level 87. I don't really know what any of this means and have an appt with the gp tomorrow

Constant AF and not good ablation candidate
I'm new here. I am a 62-year-old female and new to my diagnosis of AF and heart failure which was devastating when I first heard those words -- now I am trying to learn how to live and maintain. I’ve read many posts of people who are worried about AF episodes, yet I am in AF all the time. I have no symptoms

Entresto 2
A couple of months ago I wrote on here about being put on Entresto, a newish drug for heart failure. This is only prescribed for patients who fall within very particular gateposts, and doesn’t suit many people so the initial dose is very low to gauge any side effects or contraindications.

Post transplant CMV Mismatch
Hi All My husband had a liver transplant on 28.11.17 and having looked at his medication and read his discharge note it says he has been prescribed Valganciclovir as he has a high risk CMV mismatch. Having googled it - sounds serious - has anyone else come across this and I am not sure of the implications

Statins and sharp pains
Hi I’m new here. I’m on my 3rd statin (Rosuvastatin) having had Atorvastatin and then Pravastatin and seem to be suffering from random pains in my chest area. It’s not Angina as I’ve used my GTN spray with no real effect. The pains only last a minute or so at a time but are quite unnerving. I was

My name is Rob from Florida. I appreciate all of you.
I currently have a gfr of 18 which just 11 months ago was between 29 and 32. I have heart disease and diabetes as well. I am 56 years old and am currently taking many tests to get on the donor list for the University of Miami. I am scared I am going to die. I try to stay positive but it is difficult.

AF won't kill you
I have read this many times in this forum. And find it reassuring. Could someone explain whether the statement needs to be qualified. My understanding is that persistent rapid AF may over a long period cause cardiomyopathy leading to heart failure. This is the basis for taking rate control meds. And
