Techniques to get back to Normal Sinus Rhythm?
Hi, I’m 63 years old, fairly active through tennis, cycling & walking & have had AF for 10 years. Until recently been doing well with medication, but now in last 4 months, slip into AF every 10 days or so and bouts can last over a week. Tendency is to go into AF overnight. On Carvidolol, Apixaban &

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

Heart Scan

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

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

Surgery went well, thanks for all the words of support.
It was actually a short procedure, less than an hour. Anesthesia has advanced a lot! A nerve block allows minimal anesthesia, keeps you just under but no waking nausea, not too much fogginess. . They also put an injected anesthetic in my shoulder which releases slowly for as much as five days(more usually

Trigger (Not only fools and horses)
I have been trying for months to establish a trigger that sets off attacks of AF. I’m lucky at present that I’m only on blood pressure and anti coagulative medication as the attacks are short lived and are around every two to three weeks. I realise that they will increase over time which is similar

Calcified mitral valve
I was phoned on Monday by a pulmonary specialist to whom I had been referred for what appeared to be lung problems. He told me that the chest scan had shown calcification of the mitral valve and he was referring me for an emergency echocardiogram to try and find out what the exact situation was with

So worried
Hello all As you may know I had an ablation 3 months ago for uncontrolled fast AF which had caused severe HF and valve leakage. Prior to ablation could hardly do anything apart from rest. Since ablation thought I was doing well. Much more energy able to do daily walking, nausea gone appetite back .

Abnormal ecg
Hi everyone, I have been having a few symptoms, which I’ve posted about previously - tight chested, lightheaded, dizzy and feeling like I’m not getting enough air. Today the dr wanted an ecg to be done, it was done by a nurse who then took the results to be looked at by the dr. When she came back

5th valve replacement - ready for the battle!
Well, I’m being admitted tomorrow for my 5th heart surgery (so far, 3 aortic valve replacement, 2 with aortic root, 1 mitral valve and a bypass.) and 2nd mitral valve.

After exercise
My normal resting heart rate is around 65. When I exercise (cycle) it will go to around 155. However once I finish my ride my heart rate will stay around 80 to 90 for hours with my heart feeling jumpy. I wouldn't say I'm pushing it very hard when riding but I feel I'm getting a workout. I'm 54 had
