update
I am now on 15mg norspan patch, this is keeping the leg at a bearable level. I still have to fight the tugging and pulling 24/7 but it is not so severe that I want to end it all when the patch is on. They seem to have given up now and not trying anything else. I have arranged nerve conduction studies

Support for husband having triple heart bypass in February 2024
My husband had a heart attack in August 2023. When stenting his artery, surgeons said another artery needed attention. They tried to stent 5 days later but couldn't and he was put on the waiting list for a bypass. This is scheduled for mid February. He's only 65, fit - but a Type 1 diabetic. He's terrified

Just wanted to post for the first time on here about my experience on this new drug which I've now been on for a couple of weeks, for the treatment of HOCM. But first a bit of background. I've had HOCM for 15 years (that I know of). I'm 44 years old. Only in the last few years have I really had any

Sudden increase in resting Heart Rate?
Bit puzzled by this, wondering if anyone had any clever ideas? I've tried to ring the local arrhythmia nurses but not got through yet, emailed them yesterday but no reply so far. I'm on 1x1.25mg biso and 1x50 flec twice daily which appears to have been working Ok.
Saturday I did a local park run

Understanding my GP's message
I am in permanent AF and taking Edoxaban, Bisoporol and Ramipril. Recently, at my GP's request I wore a 24 hour ECG monitor. Looking at the GP's referral for that on the NHS app it seems she suspected heart failure. Have just had a message from the GP which said ' 24hr ECG reported that the rhythm

Ablation of AV node after pacemaker put on in July
Well, I have finally had the AV node Ablation, after having the pacemaker placed in July. Now I don’t get arrhythmia anymore but very fast pulsations and low rates, always around the 80s and at rest 75. Guess the pm needs to adjust to a more acceptable pace. Waiting to see. Any ideas, please. Thanks
