Diagnosing Heart Failure?
I am looking for some advice from others who have been in a similar situation or know more about blood tests and heart failure please. My husband had a Mitral and Tricuspid valve repair 2 years ago but nothing could be done regarding his AF. Since COVID he’s been pretty much left to get on with things

Terrified
As per my previous post I’ve recently had lots of blood tests due to being tired all the time. I rang to see if the results were in and have been told the GP has referred me to Cardiologist for an echocardiogram. I hope to speak to GP in the morning subject to getting a telephone consultation.

Before seeing an electrophysiologist
I’ve got an appointment beginning of august to see an electrophysiologist for broad complex tachycardia, SVT, PAF. this is all after muscle damage from heart attack. The letter says I’ll have 2 hours of tests before seeing any doctor. Anyone any ideas what these tests might be? Besides the obvious ECG

NT-proBNP Level query
Trying to line up a few questions for a Cardio call in December and cannot seem to find this bit out. My last Se N-term pro BNP conc result was 444 ng/L, is this the same as pg/mL? It came back as abnormal with normal given as 0-400, I`m 66, so could I have Heart failure as no one has said I have.

Possible AF
Last Sunday I had a dreadful accident. I either slipped or tripped in the kitchen. I had a kettle full of boiling water in my hand at the time. The result was that I badly scalded my leg and was taken by ambulance to my nearest A&E hospital which is 20 plus miles away. Whilst enroute the paramedics did

Did I have a misdiagnosed heart attack?
I went to the ED a while back for flu-like symptoms and fever after a surgery. They admitted me due to elevated troponin levels (243) and tachycardia at rest (118bpm). I had an EKG, echo, and chest xray, but was only told they looked "fine". I was eventually discharged with the one word diagnosis "pericarditis

Anyone get PN Nerve Block without steroid?
Hello, I have read various studies PubMed etc. that say there is little difference in pain result whether the nerve block is done with steriod or without. Just lidocaine. My pain doc has me scheduled for a block with just lidocaine, and I am wondering if that is just for diagnostic purposes. ? I

Any help?
I am pretty much at my wits end with insomnia. My Father recently passed away, and I have struggled with ànxiety for many years. I actually live in Thailand, and have been seeing a psychiatrist for years, and I have been prescribed 0.5 MG clonazepam 2 times a day, and 2mg clonazepam at night, but

post surgical neuropathic pain
hey guys, I’m just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to help with nerve pain? I’m currently on gabapentin and naproxen and I have been given oxycarbazepine to take when I have “severe breakthrough pain”. However this just makes me feel tired after taking one so I can’t take it when I am working

RLS newbie
Hi all, I was hoping you could give me some advice about where to begin, as I'm finding reading through the posts, although very helpful, also overwhelming! I have self diagnosed as having RLS for about 20 years. It has been relatively ignorable until the last few years. Now it is affecting my sleep

Tavr procedure
any body got information on tavr procedure. I am having aortic valve replacement and due to high white cell count I can't have open heart surgery now. Hoping its sooner rather than later. Thanks everyone 😊

More decisions!!
Well I saw Dr Pepper yesterday and all much as expected. I've moved to persistent AF and a cardioversion would be pointless. I keep self converting the back to AF. Sob. So options are... Live with it as long as my rate comes down to the 80s, so will be trying Digoxin after my holiday in Norfolk.
