Pains post heart attack
Three weeks after major heart attack and three stents fitted, I’m still getting the odd pain in my heart region. Sometimes I get a little pain in my heart while taking a deep breath. Sometimes it’s just a single pain and it goes and sometimes four or five pains each time I breathe. It was more so in

Night sweats
My elective heart surgery went horribly wrong. First a stroke and then a junior doctor in the stroke unit wrongly deciding that I was allergic to blood thinners and putting me on a drip of Vitamin K. Not a good move after a mechanical valve transplant with blood clots a real possibility. After two months

Me and my gizmo
I did a post yesterday about my open heart surgery and today this popped up - me with my gizmo - it is a spirometer which is linked by Bluetooth to my mobile telephone. I use it every other week t send test results to Nottingham City Hospital so that they can monitor my pulmonary fibrosis remotely.

4 weeks post redo AVR. I thought this information might be helpful to others in a similar place. I was noticing and getting a bit concerned about some increase in pain in and around the wound site and in the intercostal muscles. My cardiac event follow up nurse pointed out that this is a common experience

How my idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis in 2015 led to open heart surgery five years ago today

I hope some of you may find of interest. Regards Robert https://paperbagstories.substack.com/ It talking bit was unscripted and

Bisopropol as pill in pocket
As my AF has progressed and I’m now experiencing longer bouts of tachycardia and sometimes irregularities I have been prescribed Bisopropol as pill in pocket by a GP. The episodes are still only 4/5 hours with my heart rate at approximately 180bpm for much of the time. When first diagnosed with AF I

New to Apixaban
Having been diagnosed with Arrhythmia, I will shortly start taking 5mg Apixaban twice a day. This causes me much concern. Will I be able to lead a normal life, eg play golf, go abroad on holiday etc and will I be able to have a couple of glasses of wine each day? I am currently a regular social drinker

Sudden dull ache.
Hi, I had a heart attack and a stent fitted almost 6 months ago. I had my heart clinic follow up in October and have a follow up consult with the cardiac surgery team in a week or so. I also have a Drs. telephone consult next week. The only lingering thing i have had since my stent had been shortness

Diet and AF
I had been suffering from AF in various forms, latterly persistent, for about 15 years. I had Mitral and Aortic Valve replacement surgery 10 years ago and two weeks ago I had Catheter Ablation. I have been in Sinus and feeling good since my Ablation, until last night. I woke at about 3am in AF.

Spring Covid booster this Spring.
I have a mechanical Aortic valve replacement and therefore on Warfarin. I have AF which began shortly after open heart surgery which took place 7 years ago. Is it a GP decision if I should have the extra spring booster...? No one in my surgery has said I am vulnerable. With Covid restrictions being

His broken heart
My husband of 42 years is very sick. He has an infection in his heart internal bleeding they cannot locate, he will be getting a double aortic bypass, and aortic valve replacement. He has uncontrollable type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease. He’s a terrible patient. I’m trying to help him he’s too much

Recuperation
Hi I had a qaudruple heart bypass on 03 December 2021, it's now almost twelve weeks since the surgery and I feel fit and well. I walk regularly between 12,000 to 15,000 steps each day. I'd like to start playing double tennis again, but I'm a little concerned how it might affect my sternum. Is there

Recurring Infection and Pudendal Nerve Pain?
So I’m not sure if this will help others but I had a pelvic infection 35 years ago and then agonising pain in my right groin 6 mos later (no elevated sed rate) which responded to doxycycline - numb aching mass - and Drs said my symptoms sounded like an abscess (but a pelvic sonogram showed nothing)

Open Heart Surgery, (OHS). General comments.
I hope my experiences might help reassure other people who are due to undergo OHS, in particular Aortic Valve Replacement, (AVR). I am a 66 years old male, 3 weeks into recovery from a successful redo procedure. I had my first surgery 9 years ago to replace a failing bi-cuspid 'original' valve. Both

CoQ10 dosage and when to take ?
I have CLL and my hematologist approved CoQ10. CoQ10 is recommended in Mayo litererature, for those with no counter-indications. But I lack good information about how many mg CoQ10 that I could ingest daily, and when to take the cap or caps . Thus, I would appreciate guidance. Also suggestions

Is this angina?
Hi all, I was diagnosed with afib 3 years ago and have mentioned to several medics (cardiologists, arrhythmia nurses) that I occasionally had slight heart aches when exercising or stressed, but none of them seem concerned. Afib does not seem to be related to heart pain - so I'm not sure whether the

Safe INR level for Ablation?
I am one week from my first cyro ablation and my blood INR is 1.2. Most recommend a value between 2.0 and 3.0. What are folks' knowledge and experience in this area? Might I be canceled as, according to these numbers from today's tests, the Pradaxa hasn't thinned my blood much. Are these the cases where

1 month out from RF ablation for asymptomatic afib
Hi. I was diagnosed with afib in late 2019 at age 66 and put on an anti-coag and sotalol. I was in and out of afib quite regularly but rarely symptomatic. Three cardioversions failed to restore normal sinus rhythm (NSR) for any real length of time, so ablations were suggested (I live in the US.) Since

8 days post ablation
What a week?! I had an RF ablation at the start of last week but felt, what I thought, was excessive pain in my chest (particularly when lying on my back) 2/3 days after but just stuck with it thinking it was a standard recovery symptom for RF as I’d only had cryo done before. However on Thursday night
