Coming off drugs b4 ablation
I’m on amlodipine (Ca channel blocker) and metoprolol (beta blocker). Plus flecainide (Na channel blocker). All fairly low doses. I have to come off them before my fourth ablation for four days so not looking forward to that. Anyone experienced withdrawal symptoms doing same?

Stopping Smoking
I am so proud of getting to a year+ since stopping smoking. Yes it took a heart attack and a triple heart bypass to give me the 'motivation'. I cannot believe I have no cravings whatsoever, ending a whole day fast and not being bothered about not having a cigarette, simply astonishing to my old self

Heart Surgery in India?
Hi I am new here so not sure if this appropriate for this forum. Three years ago I was diagnosed with two leaky heart valves. Due to Covid, three appointments with a cardiologist were cancelled. I didn't have any symptoms at the time. After a visit to A&E ,because of extreme breathlessness, I was referred

*Sensitive* He’s finally here - but now we have to have him over to the surgeons 💔 UPDATED
UPDATE 3.6.22: I just wanted to say a massive thank you so much for all of the kind messages and words of support 🙏. Our beautiful boy survived 5.5 hours of open heart surgery on Wed. We we were told by the surgeons that “it went smoothly”, which was a huge relief. However, it is still very early days

Heart Failure
I contracted Covid in March and at which time I was also diagnosed with AF. I have had several Doctors and Hospital appointments and each time my Medications have been increased changed and most recently one tablet removed. I find it slightly unsettling each time a medical professional refers to it

The Wrong Watering Can!
Morning all! Three weeks today since my ablation and all is well in NSR ever since🌝 Need to still remember though that it's early days. We have two greenhouses and raised veg beds . We are also lucky enough to have a spring fed well so we don't use a water hose but cans instead. MrW fills them and I

My pulmonologist is submitting a request to perform this treatment option on me in the fall. Does anyone have experience or know anyone who has had this procedure? I hope all of you are breathing easy. Thanks, James. https://www.breathestrongamerica.org/zephyr-valve/

Breathing and coughing excercises
I've noticed in a lot of responses to questions that people recommend carrying on with their breathing and coughing excercises following open heart surgery. I wasn't given any after my surgery and am wondering what these excercises consist of as I still have breathing problems following my valve replacement

The Ablate part of the Pace and ablate procedure
In the AF Association leaflet it says the following: "The procedure does not restore the normal heart sinus rhythm and so the heart will not work as well as it would in the normal rhythm. Therefore symptom relief may not be as good as might be expected with restoration of the normal heart rhythm. " I've
