After Effects from a Triple Heart Bypass
Back in September 2022 I had a cardiac arrest and was very lucky to have had a paramedic nearby with some 14 years experience. This lady performed cpr on me and called for a defibrillator. I received one shock and regained consciousness after which I was taken to hospital and on 2nd November 2022 I

Slow irregular heartbeat?
Was diagnosed with arrhythmia last autumn, currently on edoxaban, flecanide and bisoprolol. About 20 hours ago my heart started beating irregularly, it is still slow (about 50 bpm) and seems to be missing a beat every 3/4 beats. NHS111 yesterday advised going to A&E where they did ECG and blood

The return of AF
Well, 8 months after my ablation for AF , it has made its unwelcome return. I started by feeling an increasing burden of SVE’s then noticed a different feeling which when I checked on kardia, confirmed that I am constantly slipping between slow AF, supraventricular ectopics and normal rhythm. Whatever

Am suffering misery as unable to sleep because of over active bladder
Does anyone else have this problem? Have been given medication for this problem but it doesn’t really work . The medication itself becomes an irritant ! I have so many visits to the loo at night and have been on the bladder /bowel website which is excellent. However I wonder if any of you have this

Shock diagnosis and 4 week wait for follow up at rapid-access Heart Failure clinic. Is my anxiety justified?
Two weeks ago I went for a stress echo test. It was a real shock that after a preliminary echo the test was abandoned. Serious faces and mutterings all round ensued, and a cardiologist came in, studied the screen and told me I had heart failure! She advised me not to go on my planned holiday till
