Ectopics
Good evening. I have recently been given the option to begin Flecainide for my ectopic heartbeats or learn to live with them (I find this very difficult). I've had open heart surgery but although successful, it didn't stop the ectopics at all. I've been on bisoprolol which I don't feel has helped

My family has just had a very impactful experience, my son who is 22, had open heart surgery twice in the same month and we nearly lost him the second time around. He was in the hospital for 9 weeks all in total, but within that 9 weeks what he went through and what he saw day in day out, was patients

Spoken to GP at length this morning regarding this awful fatigue I am suffering from, and how awful I’ve felt since starting Amlodipine. He agreed reluctantly that as I’ve been slightly better since stopping Amlodipine a week ago he would remove it from my prescription, but has increased Cozar (Losartan

Reapplying for enhanced personal independent payment
I am currently receiving standard PIP. Unfortunately following heart surgery I am now under care of heart failure team. My mobility made worse by breathlessness. I am on a waiting list for a different style of pacemaker Can I now apply for enhanced PIP before my new re assessment date?

Irregular heartbeat after AF episode
Last night my OH had his second AF episode, first one was about 22months ago for which he was hospitalised. Since then he has been on Bisoprolol 1,25mg once daily and Apixaban 5mg twice daily. He was told if he had another episode to take “pill in pocket” once, which is a 5mg dose of Bisoprolol. This

IS HE GOING TO SLIDE OUT OF THIS ONE?!
My friends may remember that in June 2021 I went to have a pacemaker inserted. During the procedure I suffered a pneumothorax which was not acted on for 3 hrs. In consequence I went into collapse and respiratory failure and my children were summoned because they gave me 10 mins to live. Due to my b.

The blanking period after ablation
I didn't think it was possible to hate AF more than I did before the ablation. Constantly waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get a decent night's sleep. It wasn't always like this but it has been getting worse - probably 5-6 times a week. And then an ablation is offered - light

Echocardiogram Report - Bizarre as simply added to my NHS record.
I had heart surgery in February, 2020 to replace a bicuspid aortic valve with severe aortic stenosis and a dilated aortic root. Follow up as been a little lacking since discharge from the surgical team to my local hospital cardiology. I refused to accept telephone reviews, got a new consultant but

trapped nerves
my husband had open heart surgery 9 weeks ago which went well, the operation was over 8 hours. Since then he has numbness in his one hand. In the last few weeks he’s had pains in his hip and upper leg. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Thank you

They started giving me on iron tablets 3 months ago , after dietary changes didn’t improve things , but my iron stores
