Is twitching when sleeping a sign of AF?
My husband is 8 weeks post NSTEMI heart attack which brought on AFib, he has had 3 episodes of AF since two of which happened as he was sleeping and woke him. He never had AF before the heart attack. He now twitches and jerks in his sleep several times a week, he never used to before the heart attack

One year on.
My elective heart surgery went badly wrong and cost me an arm and a leg. I remember being told, while pinned to the bed, that, a year from now, I would be fully functioning again and happy with the benefits of my operation. Surgery to repair an aneurysm and replace a bicuspid valve is never going to

I have had chest pain for 7 years..
Hi all It all started 7 years ago, I didn't do anything to cause it, atleast not from what I remember. I just had this chest at the centre of my chest going through to the tip of my left shoulder, like a spear going through my body. At 14 years of age I assumed the worse of course, but i went to the

High Cholesterol
Hi, I am 35 years older, health weight/diet, do not smoke. However my cholesterol level is 5.7 - I am unsure what else I can do to lower it and I’m feeling very anxious that it’s high especially given my age. The nurse said that high cholesterol increases risk of stroke and heart attacks which has

AV NODE ABLATION
Has anyone had one of these? It has been recommended to me by Cardiologist but means the pacemaker takes over the role of keeping me alive.

What does cardiac rehab class involve after mitral valve repair?
It is 3 months since my op (open heart surgery for valve repair & ablation for AF) and I have not had any cardiac rehab yet. I was meant to get notice of something, but nothing has happened yet. Can anyone tell me what it involves, eg is it a group or 1:1 and what happens in the time? Any experience

To ablate or not to ablate...etc
I finally received a telephone consultation, 6 months after my A&E admission for a fast AF. The A&E discharge report said "AF disorder SUSPECTED", and recommended a 24-hour ECG. The latest AF is only my second event in 5 years. I had an AF a year after my heart attack (stent inserted); the consultant

Double bypass
Had a double bypass on the 13th May. All went well and my wounds have healed really well and now discharged back into the care of my GP. My problem is my very low mood and my anger. I'm extremely sad to the point of crying nearly every single day. Then out of the blue I become very angry at the slightest

Apixaban side effects.
I have a new cardiologists. Hurray! He has taken me off xerolto, because of many violent nosebleeds. He says apixaban hopefully will reduce or eliminate these bleeds. My question is has anyone had any disturbing side effects from apixaban? I am starting on it today. Other than nosebleeds life is grand

Aortic biological valve Edwards carpentier perimount
Had open heart surgery in 2017 new biological aortic valve I was 63 when this was done but do not know how long this will last and will have to another one. I wondered if anyone else could let me know if they had this operation.

Abscess on aortic root
Has anyone here had surgery for an abscess on the aortic root? My husband has been told that he needs surgery to drain the abscess, but no-one has explained what type of surgery. Is it possible that he will need open heart surgery again (he already had it earlier this year for an aortic valve and root
