TMS mind body syndrome
I have been on this journey of chronic pelvic pain for 3 years now . I had 2 surgeries trying to fix my PN based on findings of imaging . The surgeries did nothing to help at all. I work in the medical field myself so I thought that there absolutely HAD to be something structurally wrong with me. The

anal pain spasms 10 years helllllllp
Hi everyone I hope someone out there can help me because it's now been 10 Years that I have suffered with this unbearable pain and nothing seems to help. The doctors have sent me for more operations and procedures that I can even explain. Everything from two different pudendal nerve blocks to radio ablation

Onto apixaban!
I'm awaiting ablation for PAF. Cardiologist has recommended that I should start on a low dose of an ACE inhibitor for raised blood pressure, so that has added a point onto my CHA2DS2-VASc score! Due to strong family history of heart disease, he thinks that my actual risk is more like a CHA2DS2-VASc

Newly diagnosed adult congenital heart issue…
Tests after a recent incidental finding have concluded with a diagnosis of bilateral- partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection /return (PAPVC or PAPVR). Now on the list for open heart surgery and repair so would love to hear from any others with this diagnosis-

amlodipine and losartan
I have been taking 5mgs Amlodipine and 100 mgs Losartan in morning but after going into atrial fibrillation my blood pressure drops at lunch time. My GP has said to take losartan at night and amlodipine in morning. Has anyone take these medications at different times of day .

Left Atrial Shunt
I have had AF for 9 years. I currently take Bisoprolol and Apixaban. I have had two ablations, neither of which stopped the AF. However the second ablation in 2019 left an Atrial septum defect I.e. a hole between the two atria which apparently causes a left atrial shunt. The arrhythmia nurse who I saw

NT-proBNP test shows over 1800 (2,255) Does it indicate heart failure?

Afib and heart failure
Does afib always lead to heart failure?I have just had a medication review with a specialist who works with our GP surgery and doctors. He claims that any afib present leads to heart failure between 1 and 20% in the early stages. This is frightening. My afib episodes are very symptomatic and come around

Gp intervention
I have my AFib under control after being prescribed my meds by my heart consultant. I take Flecainide, Apixaban, & Propranolol which controls my a fib. However, I have just realised that my Gp has halved my propranolol dose without consultation! ( from 80 mg to 40 mg) I am due to have a medical review

What should you expect from your GP after major heart surgery, shirt term and long term?
Apart from my initial call to request repeat warfarin prescription in which case I was told to go online, my GP has not acknowledged the last 2½ months of my urgent surgery. I am a congenital heart patient who had been trying to get cardio check ups in London every year to no avail. I had to take another

Without provocation (no triggers), I startled awake in Afib which turned into tachycardia and has continued for 48 hours now. So after a respite of nine months from my FOURTH ablation [& coming off flecainide (due to left bundle block), but still on metoprolol ER, amlodipine, and Xarelto], I’m beginning

NSR...out of the blue!!
Last year I had 3 ablations for persistent AF, all deemed to be unsuccessful. 5 months after number 2 , I had 9 days of NSR but then went back into persistent AF with no further breakthroughs. Number 3 was arranged as a top up but after that did not result in NSR for more than a day it was decided AF
