Advice regarding setting of expectations ahead of cardiology appointment would be appreciated.
AF since March 23. Currently only really experiencing breathlessness on inclines. No experience of HR over 100 (as far as I know). Devices confirm persistent AF since March. Echo revealed a few mild heart failure issues and recommended cardiology review, which is due in a couple of weeks. My question

Back/pelvis/hip pain?
A month or 2 ago, I got a new dog, he's bigger than my previous dog and he pulls on the lead. And I got stressed adapting to the change. Somewhere soon after that I picked up a bug, and the PMR "buzzing" in my shoulders, arms and calves popped back. Not really painful but aware of "the bucket" I stopped

Can azathioprine cause chest pains?
Hi, I have been on azathioprine tablets mostly 75mg to 100mg for my Lupus for approximately 20 years. Have been experiencing chest pains on my left side especially after excretion. I had various tests and scans but they are all negative. I had Covid last September and had to stop taking the azathioprine

My Mom needs heart surgery & I'm a terrified, 47 yr old baby
I feel so selfish. My MOM is the one who needs her aortic valve replaced, not me. But here I am, terrified of the upcoming surgery. Terrified of how terrified I'll be. Why can't I reframe my thinking? Why can't I look at this as this will save her?! Quick background: I'm 47, female, never married, no

medication after open heart surgery
is there anyone on this site who has had a heart valve replacement and is now using biologic meds to control their ra? If so, I’d love to hear your experience. I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve which needed replacing in June (an event hastened by a toxic reaction to leflunomide). I’ve had an Inspiris

Atrial myxoma
Hello, I’m 47 & a couple of days ago I was screened to check for dilated cardiomyopathy, which my mother has. It was discovered I have Atrial myxoma & need urgent open heart surgery to remove it. I’m in shock & so scared & wandered if anyone has had this surgery & how it was for you?

Acupuncture and AF Post Heart Surgery
Good morning I came across this study in one of my newsfeeds this morning. I recall someone had recently asked about acupuncture for treating AF, so thought it worth posting here. Whilst this was only a small study specifically aimed at patients recovering from open heart surgery, I thought it interesting

INR control
Hi don't know if this is of any interest to anyone ,but my INR has always been impossible to stabilize My heamatologist suggested taking a small dose of vitamin K and increasing the warfarin dose I didn't do this as don't want to be taking any more supplements, So I decided to massively increase my intake

Should I be concerned about lower resting HR on bisoprolol?
I had my first recorded (though probably 3rd in 3 years) AF incident on Sunday and have got 1.25mg of bisoprolol and 5 mg x 2 pd of apixaban. I am a runner so my resting overnight HR is usually low, say mid 40s. My heart returned to its normal rhythm on Sunday night after about 19 hours in AF. So now

Lp(a) results are in ….
I’ve recently had bloods taken to test for FH and Lp(a) levels. I had a heart attack in 2022 at aged 51 and was started on a whole ton of medications afterwards including Atorvastatin 80mg and then a bit later adding in 10mg Ezetimibe. My LDL cholesterol has not been able to reach the target of 1.4

Living alone after open heart surgery
When discharged from hospital after open heart surgery are you able to look after yourself such as reaching up and down, carrying out laundry basket, lifting pots and pans, cooking, getting in and out of bath. Or is it expected you will have someone who can assist you. If you didn't have anyone what

Intravenous Sedation
I had two trial medial branch nerve blocks on my lower spine. The results were successful for pain relief so I am now ready to consider a nerve ablation. My problem is that the procedure can be painful, but IV sedation is available. I am not totally sure if they would use Versed for this sedation,

Hi guys....a recent CT scan showed some pleural effusion but nothing else...no nodes, growths or nodules, and a blood test showed no heart failure.I have to have the fluid removed on Monday and I'm bricking it already. I don't make a very good patient; former nurse; and I'm a wuss when it comes to pain

Yearly blood test
I take it many of you have reached the time when you are having your yearly blood test after heart bypass. I just wondered how conclusive and accurate you have found the results.

Resting HR on Bisoprolol
Hi everyone, I was put on 1.25 Bisoprolol in March when I had a heart attack and then told to take it twice a day in July when I went into Atrial Flutter after open heart surgery, meaning I'm now on 2.5mg. My resting heart rate was mostly in the low 60s these last 6 months which I assumed was good. The

AV node ablation with Pasmaker
Has anyone up there is surviving and how long since your AV node ablation and PM insertion? On July 28th I had put the PM in, and my EP doctor told me that in August I would have the Ablation. But his nurse said that the Doctor forgot to tell her to put me in the list for the Ablation procedure. I'm
