Anxiety over NHS heart attack radio adverts
Is anyone else’s health anxiety getting worse after these NHS heart attack early warning adverts? I feel like how they describe all the time! And lately I’ve been getting all those symptoms every few hours, every day - hard beats, chest pain/tightness, left sided jaw, shoulder, neck, arm ache. The works

Chest Pain, fear of heart attack.
Hi, I’m 20 year old man. I’ve suffered with anxiety a while but like don’t want to blow this off to it but it could be. So I had this sudden crushing chest pain 2 days ago, went into instant panic attack. Sat down with my mum and could talk and walk around but was fearing I was having a heart attack.

Are my symptoms consistent with B12 deficiency especially burning sensation.
Hi Hoping people can tell me if some weird symptoms I'm having are consistent with B12 deficiency. I'm in the UK London. I have started getting burning skin sensations - feels like someone applied deep heat when I wasn't looking. I get these on my forearms, shoulders, patches on my upper back. They

CHD
My Mum died 11 days ago from CHD, My Dad had a triple heart bypass, 6 and half years ago. And sadly died 8 weeks later, CHD was one of the cause. What are the chances of me developing this?

Afib and aflutter
I’m new here and looking for similar conditions and ideas to cope. I had Afib for 20 straight months. After 5 cardio and 1 ablation I finally was out of Afib which lasted about a year. Then into aflutter which has turned out to be more debilitating than Afib. Ive had cardioversions and ablation that

Hello ! I'm not sure this is the right place to get information, but here goes I am advocating for a 35 yr old nephew who through a routine physical found to he had hep c and most likely contracted it during heart surgery as an infant. This never showed up in prior blood work. Well, they cured the hep

Only change I have made recently other than meds is use of taurine (close to

New valve in action
I’m new….I am recovering from open heart surgery in mid Nov during which I had a replacement aortic valve and a bypass. Recovery has been slow - not helped by catching pneumonia, but I can now walk on the level for 18 min and am building up my fitness. All hints tips and encouragement welcome!
