Post surgical stretching
I am now 2 weeks post open heart surgery for AVR. I have read on this site NOT to raise my arms above shoulder height as part of cardiac rehab, yet US hospital sites do recommend raising an arm alternatively over head to keep shoulders etc moving. Thoughts pls? I am starting to ache in my neck and shoulder

AV Node Ablation and Pacemaker
Hi Everyone, I had an AV Node Ablation and Pacemaker implanted all on the same day last Thursday 1/20/22. I was in a situation where I was having many different heart rhythms, svt, atypical aflutter and afib. I have had two MAZE procedures which worked for a while but unfortunately staying in sinus

Fisiocrem
Has anyone tried fisiocrem? Sounds a bit like deep heat. I wondered if it's OK to use alongside pred. I'm not holding out much hope for it but I'm willing to try anything to sort out my neck ache! Here's the description of it: "Fioscrem soothing massage rub for use on tense and contracted muscle areas

Open heart surgery recovery
I am 56 years old and pretty fit (apart from my heart valve issue!) and have just had valve replacement by open heart surgery. Keen to understand the recovery time for chest pain reduction post surgery? Is it weeks or months?

Male pudendal nerve décompression surgery
I am hoping that there are some men out there that have had this surgery and would like to share their experience whether good or bad. I have seen five specialist pelvic floor physios over the past 3.5years and none of them have met clients who have had the surgery yet they are quick to suggest success

AF/VT after Covid - My Story
Hi all, this is my first post. I'm 62 and have been on meds for high BP for about 10 years. I was having palpitations around half a dozen times a year for the past few years, and then after getting Covid in July 2021 (Delta variant) they started getting more regular (every week or two) and for longer

Status Update Post-atrial Cardioäblation:
Had rapid atrial quivering/fibrillation develop in Feb '21 while I was focused on avoiding a second heart attack after having had a major one 9½ years earlier. Got put on meds to see if AFib could be managed that way but worsened to the point that by Aug, my heart was tracked at 244 BPM and I'd collapsed

A little update: Finally some good news! 🎉😊
So we are currently 28 weeks pregnant (by far the furthest we’ve ever got).

Apixaban and subconjunctival haemorrhage.
After taking Apixaban for 6 days (2x5mg, daily) I woke this morning with a subconjunctival haemorrhage in the left eye. Yesterday, the eye had been bloodshot and itchy; I had hoped that it was just conjunctivitis and would clear up. As I had a similar subconjunctival haemorrhage three years ago, two

Re earlier post on different forum.
A thorax CT in September identified coronary artery disease. An angiogram in November verified extent of above as moderate to severe calcification in the LAD vessel. You would have thought drug therapy would have commenced immediately to prevent either a stroke or heart attack but NO, it wasn’t until
