Excellent consultants visit!
Hospital visit went well. ECG done, Echocardiogram done. Saw the very nice consultant who said that they will be doing something to patch my holes! If possible they will use the umbrella like thing, but if it is too big/complex they will have to do open heart patching! I'm going for a cardio catherisation

AFib or other arrhythmia??
Hi peeps, as some of you know, I was diagnosed with Afib last year. Prior to this, I had had another type of arrhythmia for many years and had been under a cardiology dept for nearly as long. My problem now is differentiating between Afib and the other arrhythmia. When I was first taken to hospital

Exercising with A-FIB - and after affects
I have had 2 ablations (2017, 2019) and (I think) 7 Cardioversions and discovered (confirmed) today that I am back in a-fib unfortunately. I have aortic stenosis and a parachute mitral valve ("the structure of my heart is not normal" in the words of my EP) which we think is the reason for the ablations

Anxiety following TIA end of July, has anyone had similar?
I have had open heart surgery July 2019, replacement aortic valve, and single bypass. The TIA came out of the blue, was going to my daughter’s house for the evening, husband has a pizza oven, and they were having friends round. I went to write a card for someone, and the words wouldn’t make sense! Rang

Due to have heart bypass on Wednesday. I usually wear crop tops but have been told to wear front fastening bras. Won’t it rub on scar?
Would appreciate any female related advice.

creating a warfarin app - how should it look like to you?
hi everyone - I have looked around the internet for good apps that can help you manage your INR level but I haven't found any. As my hematologist is considering switching my anticoagulant from Fragmin to warfarin, I would like to create an app that makes my life easier on this medication. I code, so

Atrial Fibrillation or not?
My query is do I have Atrial Fibrillation or should it be named something else. I have a normal sinus rhythm but I am tachycardic and the heart rate spikes at times. I have frequent ectopic beats but have been advised they are of no concern. Just been prescribed 1.25mg of Bisoprolol.

Skipped beats in a row
I can go about my day to day fine with no symptoms, and out of nowhere and during my sleep I can have about 5 skipped beats in a row before I jump back into NSR - does anyone else have experience of this? It’s very jolting waiting to go back to NSR, I’m about to start bisopropol to see if this will help

Happy days
100 days since open heart surgery for leaking mitral valve. This is me at the summit of CATBELLS this morning. Reached the top in 36 minutes non stop. All thanks to hard work and the fantastic rehab girls at Papworth. All those small steps lead to larger steps lead to the success I had today.

New here
Hi everyone. I am new here. My story began approx 2 years ago when I woke up not being able to breath. I was taken to the great PAPWORTH hospital in Cambridge. After tests I was told that I had to have open heart surgery to replace my Mitral valve. This was done with pigs tissue making up the new valve

T3 sources
Hi It’s been a long time since I’ve been on this site. I have been taking T3 for a long time now under approval by an endo. But I’ve had to source and pay for my own. I had quite a lot of T3 and I’m now running low. I have also been dealing with other issues and a few months ago had open heart surgery

Another update on 5th heart surgery….
Ok, well I’ve now been here for almost 2 weeks and hoping to be discharged today. Thought I’d give a bit more of a comprehensive update (although don’t want to scare anyone!) Quite a few problems with various levels (INR, potassium and hemoglobin) which has lead to several blood transfusions and potassium

Prognosis for compensated cirrhosis
I have cardiac cirrhosis from right sided heart failure. Tricuspid valve is regurgitating severely sending blood back to liver, congesting it to the point of cirrhosis. I have no liver symptoms. Found incidentally on CT scan. Anyway, I know that survival is 9-12 years for compensated cirrhosis at diagnosis

Edoxaban or Apixaban.
On Friday last week I noticed my left arm was a bit swollen and by Sunday a lot swollen so I decided to consult the NHS website and ended up being directed to NHS 111 and then to "make an urgent appointment to see your GP". Being on holiday in Cornwall I contacted the local NHS out of hours service and

No stent extra meds
After having a cardiology angiogram last I was told then by the cardiologist that I would need a stent but he would speak to colleagues. Then I got a letter to say I’m staying on my meds plus statin’s and aspirin. My finding were “Access was via the right radial artery. Results showed mild ascending
