Scared
Well, first time posting here. Just over 10 days ago my lovely dad who was active and vibrant took a massive stroke. I rushed to his side and went into overdrive for the next week. I grieved immensely for the father I had lost, he is still in hospital but is not the same person. I started to feel

What do anticoagulants reduce our stroke risk to?
Me again :) I keep reading online that afib increases rid of stroke 5-6 fold (depending on the source). Whatever the stats it's clearly a huge risk. What is not clear is whether they mean that's the risk WITHOUT anticoagulant or even with it. If you are on the drug, by roughly how much does it reduce

Is it possible to live with symptoms without beta blockers and just have anticoagulent?
Hi there I have PAF and can live with it, other than the fear of stroke or heart attack. I am seeing consultant next week and want to be clued up so I'm not fobbed off. In a nutshell I want to know if I can not bother with beta blockers and just mitigate stroke risk with anticoagulant? Or is there

Heart Attack at 54!!
Hello everyone, guess what I had a heart attack on March 8th. I have SLE and am on Hydroxychloroquine. I am now recovering and had to have a stent fitted. It was all very frightening and took me completely by surprise. Lupus!! The Cardiac Team did not seem in the least bit interested in my Lupus. I

I would LOVE some SUPPORT and SUCCESS stories, PLEASE!!!
Hi, I'm new to this site. I've stumbled upon it because I have what I believe people are saying is PTSD or Health Anxiety so I google all day long and search, but it only creates worry. Here's my story: I'm a 35 year old male, married with two beautiful daughters who are 4 & 3.. I have a family history

I want my life back!!!
I'm 37 years old and I had my first panic attack 3 years ago and everything has gone down hill from there. Every ache or pain I get I think I'm dying. My dad passed away from heart complications so from then on I'm always thinking I'm going to have a heart attack. I can't sleep, I barely eat, and work

Sitting on the floor of my bathroom crying...
I actually left work early today because i couldn't cope with the physical symptoms I was having, of course the anxiety came galloping on the heels of every single symptom but the symptom did come first. I have been having this pressure/discomfort/pain in the center of my chest, upper abdomen and back

Stroke risk
Trip to A&E after a bout of severe irregular heart beat. Having suffered from AFib for several years with 4 ablations I thought that I was getting along nicely , my meds were stopped including warfarin , when 6 months later it reared its ugly head again and I was put back on 50mg flecainide twice daily

I suffer sever panic attacks that sets my heart off racing, what if I give myself a heart attack? I'm really scared of that

Panic attacks return full throttle.
I had a minor panic attack in december but besides that I was free from it for about 6 months. Until now. I was just playing a game until all the thoughts started rushing into my head. My entire body was heating and my chest was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, I felt as if I could barely even gasp

Super Anxious about my Heart!!
I'm 17 years old and I supposedly have anxiety. My chest pain and nausea and shortness of breath seem unreal it's so bad. My parents and my friends and doctor and my counselor say it's just anxiety/stress, but I can't get the words "heart attack" out of my head. I feel like I could just die any second

Heart attack
Hi guys. I'm 17 years old and all I can think about is my chest pain and fearing a heart attack and dying. My doctor said there is no way someone as young as me should be having heart problems unless I've had previous heart problems or I'm doing drugs or if I'm very athletic. I'm none of those, but I
