Should I worry after heavy fall?
I was carrying a very heavy bedside cabinet and fell on the floor, no warning nor trip that I'm aware of. I think I may have fainted. Anyway, serious bruises to my arms and a hefty wack to my chest. Now some serious pain in chest mechanics and some loose clicking in ribs at bottom rib level. I had open

Have you ever used a patch to record the rhythm of your heart at home?
We think diagnostic technologies like this can be especially useful during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing a patient to first have a telephone/video consultation before the patch is sent direct to their home. Zio is a promising new ECG patch which can be worn for up to 14 days. The National Institute

Recent diagnosis of Paroxysmal AF and underlining Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) syndrome
Hello all, I haven't written on here before but thought I would see if anyone knows some further information then what I could find on Google... ( which has not been helpful) At the end of January this year I ended up in hospital with AF. My resting heart rate was around 160 bpm and irregular, normally

Low blood pressure and AF ?
I had a cardioversion 6 years ago which corrected my persistence AF. Sadly I am in now back in persistent AF and experiencing problems with low blood pressure. When my BP is normal I feel great and have no other symptoms but when my BP drops I feel absolutely awful and have to rest. Have been taking

Researchers find 10-minute add-on heart surgery cuts stroke risk by one-third
As long as surgeons have a patient under anesthesia for one heart procedure, they may as well make it two—and according to a new study, the benefits in preventing future strokes could last a lifetime.

Broad complex tachycardia
Has anyone experienced broad complex tachycardia on a 24 holter ? Should I be worried? GP has requested an echo! I had two episodes that lasted less than 3 seconds and no symptoms other than felt them. GP said my HR went to 146bpm. The rest was normal sinus rhythm. Feeling a bit stressed with it all

Heart Transplant
Has anyone else with Cardiomyopathy been told that their only option left is a Heart Transplant? Just received this info from Hospital 4 days ago and it's left me feeling so numb. Is anyone else going through this.

Flecainide and Metoprolol Combo Have Stopped Working

My Apple watch
I have been extremely surprised today when I saw my EP at the hospital. My watch was recording that I had AF and I felt dizzy and breathless. However my ECG tracing in the hospital recorded that I was in sinus rhythm. I have always trusted my watch but now in shock as it doesn’t seem very accurate.

Help with Pudendal Nerve Neuralgia
Pudendal neuralgia. Hi, can you help or share? It seems that I have problems with my pudendal nerve and this roaming, changing pain is not good as some will know. I have a good physio and will investigate but I wonder what others have done with this. Physio thinks PD is most likely and it fits with

Peak flow readings
Good morning all. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Heart Failure and I’ve been asked to use a peak flow meter to check my lungs. Over the last week my average is around 575 (I’m a 6ft - 68 years old- male). I think this is ok and shows my breathlessness is caused by my Heart Failure. My question is

Recommendations to stop feeling sick with heart failure?
Still waiting for the final part of node ablation and switching on of CRT device. Implanted 8 weeks ago and still no news of the next bit. Rang hospital today and they could not tell me anything. Just got to keep waiting. Even though the EP casually said just give me a ring if you feel unwell and I’ll

Minimal Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement
I had Minimal Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement 3 weeks ago as I had a bicuspid valve. I am at home 2 weeks now and having a lot of difficulty sleeping. Is this normal? I am quite anxious as I get pain in my chest and start to imagine all sorts. Minimal invasive is far less traumatic than open heart
