From stent to surgery
You may have seen my previous post but to recap, mum had a heart attack on Wednesday morning. She had a couple of stents put in to a blockage and went for another angiogram today. Unfortunately there is a calcium and fat buildup which is not suitable for stenting. She has been told she will have to

Change of blood thinner...
Hi, I'm feeling a little apprehensive! Yesterday I said goodbye to Warfarin and because my blood was too thin to start Apixaban right away, I've to wait until tomorrow morning before I can take another blood thinner, so hoping a couple of days without a blood thinner will not be a problem? Checking

Bisoprolol tablets
Good Morning All, my heart decided to have a flip yesterday after 12 months free. It is more ectopic beats now than AF. Pulse seems to be faint ever other one. Instead of a strong pulse that you can feel. I was cut down from 10mg to now on 5 mg in January. Does anyone just take extra bisoprolol without

A potentially silly question about chest pains
Hi all! So the question of if you're having chest pains with AF always comes up and, this may sound silly, but what does that really mean? What kind of chest pain? Sometimes I might get a very brief little digging pain (not very painful at all) under my breast that doesn't seem to be triggered by anything

How do I get an appointment for a Consultation in Nantes
Hi, Please could anyone help. I would like to know how to arrange a consultation with the Drs in Nantes for Pudendal Neuralgia. I would like a second opinion whether I have irritation of the pudendal nerve or entrapment. I was diagnosed in Jan 2019 with irritation of the pudendal nerve and have been

New treatments for deadly lung disease could be revealed by 3D modeling.
A 3D bioengineered model of lung tissue built by University of Michigan researchers is poking holes in decades worth of flat, Petri dish observations into how the deadly disease pulmonary fibrosis progresses. The causes of pulmonary fibrosis are not fully understood, but the condition is marked by

Heart transplant v coping with A FIB
I have spoke to everyone before here; after surgery I was very down as most of us are and was trying to find someone I could talk to as my husband isn't very good at this. I did manage to find someone I could speak with, my health overall went up a step and I was able to do a bit more. I started a phased

TUBERCULOSIS AND TREATMENT
Hi all, I have been diagnosed with pulmonary TB. After months of struggling I finally am seeing a difference with medication. I still have a long way to go with the medication. My question is why do I feel so tired. Lately I have been sleeping more and eating less. I can only stick to one meal a day

Can lung cancer treatment lead to heart problems?
I had two adana carcinoma lessions removed from my right lung and had radiotherapy on my left one, last September and November respectively. I have recently been told I now have heart failure due to these procedures which has caused the enormous amount of water retention I have experienced. Has anyone

Drugs after heart surgery
How long do people carry on taking beta blockers and ace inhibitors after open heart surgery? I had a aortic valve replacement 3 months ago.

Befriending
Hello everyone! I have recently been discharged after open heart surgery and am feeling isolated. Contacted cardiac rehab but I do not fit criteria for help. Is there such a thing as a befriending service where I could speak to someone who has experienced similar? I live in South Wales. Many thanks

Heart bypass
Hi guys Looking for some advice. My Dad is having a heart bypass at Southampton hospital next Tuesday. Up until his sudden heart attack earlier this year he was a fit and healthy 65 year old. At the time of the heart attack he had two stents inserted but was told he would need bypass following scans.

always worrying about my heart rate
ugh.. I was having a great day, sat down whilst my food was cooking, glanced over at my Fitbit and saw 58bpm and got spooked. it's usually never below 60bpm when I'm sat down. started to feel dizzy and panicky and scared myself into thinking my heart was gonna stop or something!! this is so frustrating

Slight Injury
So I played football yesterday and hoped to put my new found fitness to good use playing 6 a side. Bearing in mind I’ve put on over 3 stone in lockdown I think I should have been a bit more cautious going into the game. I did a warm up run fully expecting my new found fitness to see me through and perhaps

Took the leap of faith 🤞🏻
After nearly 5 weeks in Af, had a telephone consultation with specialist. Prescribed Flecaneide 100 mg twice a day. My fear of this medication was finally out weighed with the length of this Af episode. Took my first dose yesterday and miracle of miracles back in sinus rhythm within 2 hours! Still

Criteria for choosing non-emergency CABG?
My dad is scheduled for an angioplasty next week. His flow test and scans have revealed at least three significant blockages (over 70%) one of which is in his LAD. The doctors are planning to insert stents, but said the cath will give them a better sense of the blockages and if CABG is the better option
