Mucous removal breathing devices and enlarged heart.
Been asked to show a neighbour how to use a flutter device to clear phlegm willing to do this. Also have a spare that she can have. However, said neighbour has just been diagnosed with an enlarged heart so wonder if this would be OK for her to use?

Update on 3rd vaccination
My 33 year old son had his 3rd vaccination cancelled due to lack of staff. It was rescheduled for this week but now he’s ill with covid so cannot have it. He’s not CEV but several family members are, my daughter in law with MS, my Dad with Non Hodgkinsons Lymphoma, my step Father after triple heart

Post AF ablation
Hello, My 65 year old father, who suffers from heart failure and AF, underwent his first AF ablation 3 days ago. Doctors didnt really tell us what to expect during the recovery period so seeing my dad struggle that much is very difficult for me. 3 days post op, he is still coughing a lot, has a headache

SWOLLEN HAND
30 months past a heart bypass and 6 months past a pacemaker and in last month been waking up with swollen left hand and wrist. I do sleep on my left side and wear a watch. The swelling goes down during the day but is not usually gone before midnight. No swelling of ankles since about six months after

Lisinopril and Lipitor
I have high blood pressure and Afib. I had an MRI on my brain and the doctor found I have had a couple of strokes. Thankfully they made my left side numb, but nothing more. I take 20mg of lisinopril a day and 80mg of Lipitor. I am continually nauseated, and my leg muscles are weak. I feel off balance

Getting off Verapamil
After 2nd ablation for SVT, I had AFib episodes. Cardiologist said I could take Verapamil and if this did not stop Afib, could add Flecainide. I was told for the SVT ablation blanking period 1 week. I concluded 3 months more appropriate and decided to take 180 mg Verapamil sustained release once/day

Xenotransplantation of pig heart
Hello everyone. I’m sure we have all read about the recent pig kidneys transplanted into humans successfully. Well, it appears it’s been done again but this time it looks like a heart transplant was done. It’s too early to tell, but this case here seems to be more beneficial towards making it a reality

Best foundation for telangiectasia?
Hi all, Anyone out there found a good foundation to cover telangiectasia on the face? I was diagnosed with systemic sclerosis 3 years ago. I know it seems trivial with all the other things we have to deal with but the redness on my face gets me down sometimes and I wondered if anyone has found the holy

Pain and breathlessness. Specialist says I'm not breathing properly. He has referred me to physio for breathing correctly!
I had a heart bypass op some 20 years ago. I've been diagnosed with my left diaphragm not working properly. Other specialists have said it's asthma and yet another specialist said I've got lung disease. I can only push out 200 to 250 on plastic thingy, sorry forgot what it's called, and have pain

Severe angina symptoms without significant obstruction
I am new to this forum and wonder if anyone can cast any light on my symptoms. Saw GP at the end of August last year with breathlessness on exercise and she diagnosed possible angina. Only 3 weeks before I had spent a whole day working on my allotment but by the time I went to the GP I was struggling

AV Node Ablation Update
Hello and Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone Thought I’d update you on my current situation. I had a Pacemaker fitted on June 30th as the first stage of Pace and Ablate after my third ablation failed in Sept 2020 and drugs didn’t help. The AV node ablation was meant to be 4-6 weeks after the PaceMaker

Open Heart Surgery Coming Up: Questions and Advise
Hi all! Happy New Year. I have been lurking around for a while and found some great tips here! My first post/question. I am 45 years old and will have aortic valve replacement next week. Mechanical valve. I will be in blood thinners for life? How bad is bleeding on a minor cut? Or on a nose bleeding

Spironolactone Side Effects
A couple days ago there was a discussion about severe leg swelling due to heart failure. Several of you mentioned better results with Spironolactone than you had with Lasix. I plan to talk to my Dr about it. But can those of you using Spironolactone please let me know about any side effects or problems
