Calf pain
Hey so I've been doing C25k for 6 weeks now and was due to run the last leg of W6 this morning, but I didn't because my left calf is in pain. It is very sore and feels tight (kinda always do tbh!) it's ok-ish to walk on but I didn't want to run risk of further injury by running non stop for 25 minutes

Not Sure What to do Next
In March I saw my EP who put me on the waiting list for an ablation for SVT. This will be my second, the first was in 2014 for Afib. I have been reasonably well throughout the summer with a heart rate in the mid 90s until the end of September when my heart rate suddenly shot up to 150 and stayed there

Hike to Everest Base Camp anyone?
So I’m thinking of doing this as a bucket list dream - let’s say before I reach 60- I’m 54 this year. Had quadruple heart bypass 2 years ago at 51- anyone know of someone who has done altitude things post heart issue?

Long-term Warfarin use and arterial calcification?
I've recently become aware that arterial calcification is a risk with warfarin use. I've been taking a high dose of warfarin for nearly 20 years to keep my artificial heart valve ticking away. My INR needs to be between 3 and 4 so I typically take in the order of 8 to 10mg daily. I wondered if anyone

Screening for atrial fibrillation
Just a few of many papers. The third is particularly impressive. None appear to be behind a paywall. A hugely important matter. 1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5565853/ which mentions increased workload for GPs [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27059888/] 2. https://www.ahajournals.org

Question about Metoprolol
Hi all - just curious, I’m taking 25 mg metoprolol twice a day and I should have stopped it by now but worried my ectopics will increase if I do. Does metoprolol affect heart rhythm or just heart rate?

I am stalling at week 7 :( I did the 15 mins end of wk 6 and felt good, but now hitting 10-12 mins max, so frustrating! Any tips?
I had heart surgery 3 yrs ago so 15 mins was a real achievement but now feel like I am going backwards.

Waiting list
Looking for views on AV node ablation and pacemaker which has been suggested as I have been on waiting list for an ordinary ablation for so long that they think it may not work.

How are you yold
Hi, can you please tell me how you are told it's your turn for the vaccine? My friend has a text. There's a link but doesn't have anything official on it. Local chemist say ignore as it's not her turn as she's 60( triple heart bypass last year and slightly over weight) so wondering if this is the reason

When it should not be anticoagulated
From the SEC's 2016 Guide to Atrial Fibrillation Management developed in collaboration with AECCT. In female or male patients with atrial fibrillation who do not have additional risk factors for stroke Anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy is not recommended for prevention. Antiplatelet therapy is not

I’m looking for some reassurance please.
Four weeks ago I had quadruple heart bypass surgery, I am just at the start of week five post surgery and I’m struggling. The recovery is a lot slower and more challenging than I ever imagined. I feel permanently sick, can’t taste food, can no longer drink tea or coffee, am always tired and it takes

Existing heart failure drug may treat potential COVID-19 long-hauler symptom.
In a new study out of University of California San Diego School of Medicine, researchers found a drug used for heart failure improves symptoms associated with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, otherwise known as POTS. This complex, debilitating disorder affects the body’s autonomic nervous system

Did you notice greatly improved stamina after AVR(Aortic Valve Replacement)?
So I was told that I had moderate to severe aortic stenosis due to a calcified bicuspid aortic valve. At first I refused open heart surgery, but after learning that there are less invasive techniques and also being told that I would have a lot more stamina and energy if I had the operation, I agreed

Loss of appetite, change of taste, and sleeping problems following heart surgery.
I am new here. Had aortic valve replacement end of September 2020. Severe complications five weeks later led to fitting of a pacemaker and change of medication. On Bisoprolol 5 mg and Digoxin 2.5 mg and doing well. Great problem with appetite initially with rapid loss of weight. Disturbed sleep pattern

Tricuspid valve repair
I may be recommended for this surgery.My local hospital is The John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford but understandably I am looking for the best team for the job. I understand Harefields is good for heart surgery but since I have no experience of previous valve repairI I am wondering if anyone here

Mitral Valve clip
As I'm not a good candidate for open heart surgery, my Cardio is talking about a mitral valve clip. Be nice to hear from anyone who has had this done Thanks

Enjoying life ..
Just a little update , since getting my pacemaker in sept 2020 and AV node ablation 4 weeks later , I am loving life right at this moment , as you can see I’m getting out there a bit more each day , I don’t care what weather is I’m out . I’m not saying it’s been all plain sailing as I have a sore shoulder

Unlucky 13 and minus 7’ outside!! 🥶
Today is 13 weeks after my heart bypass, unlucky for me a snowy, cold, icy start to WK2 Run1 of the C25K programme. 💪 I completed my run but my hands were frozen by the end!!! Managed the longer duration running periods OK but found it difficult to concentrate on the new breathing technique introduced
