Another day
He's the same as he was, but his results aren't as good as we hoped. His swallow isn't as strong as it should be and ENT and speech therapist tried him with cuff down on the tracheotomy and holding over the opening, but he could only breathe in but not out. So they're going to arrange to put a smaller

Shingles & needing more heart surgery
My first mitral valve repair has failed sadly after 3 yrs & I need it redone, more open heart surgery..... but a month ago got Shingles. I was unable to take acyclovir as it made me incredibly dizzy & unbalanced. I am in terrible pain after 4 weeks & no sign of it improving though the rash blisters are

Apixaban
Hi there, I take Bisoprolol, Flecainide and until recently Edoxaban anticoagulant . However, spending much time in France I’ve found that Edoxaban is not accepted as a safe drug and I cannot get it in France . I changed to Apixaban which is available , and was previously recommended by my electro-cardiologist

A-Fib meds & Zepbound
I cannot seem to sustain a healthy weight for my age & body frame so I will be requesting Zepbound from my doctor to help, as I don’t want to go the surgical route in my 70s. I’m considered **morbidly obese** & truly, there is a lot of shame in this. Flecainide & Metoprolol control my A-Fib, & I

Swimming
My husband has some damage to the apex of his left ventricle (ef approx 40-45) + an lvt that is being dissolved with anticoagulant. He's physically well, has just finished cardio rehab & has been told to exercise normally. However the physios have told him to focus on leg/lower body exercises & also

Sore stomach on apixaban
I’ve been on apixaban for just over 2 months and have 3 weeks to go, then 4 weeks off before a d dimer blood test. I’ve had awful stomach cramps for a couple of weeks, blood in stools and leaking watery blood like I’m wetting myself (lovely picture!). The doctor is sending me for the fast track bladder

Flaxseed
Hi there, Been listening to Michael Mosley podcast and benefits of flaxseed. I am taking 90mg ticegrelor, 1.25mg bisoprolol and Aspirin 75mg. Had NStemi 6 months ago and stent fitted. My BP is quite low but considered good. Apparently on a big trial flaxseed didnt reduce BP in those that had low BP

Just been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Worried!
Hi. I’ve just been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and am so worried. The cardiologist has recommended blood thinners and a pill in the pocket for when episodes occur but now I’m fretting about having a stroke or having a brain bleed from the pills! I am going to make some major lifestyle changes

Atrial Fibrillation
I'm in the process of finding out which blood thinner is best for me. Started with bisoprolol 1.25mg twice daily and feeling ill so have changed to Edoxaban causing cold hands and feet and breathlessness. I feel that my Cardiologist hasn't taken into consideration my other health conditions, i.e. Asthma

Sore tongue
Does anyone else have a very sore tongue. I am wondering if it's connected to me taking Apixaban a blood thinner. Or connected to Sojrens.

Having a STEMI in mid 40's...the search for underlying causes / answers for premature CHD.
Hi Everyone, My husband had a major STEMI in March 2023 with a full blockage of his circumflex artery. He was 44 years old and playing 5-a-side football in a local sports centre when he collapsed without warning. Thank goodness it happened there of all places however, as the swift actions of his team
