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

Vaccine for Mitral Valve Prolapse?
Hi, I’m new to this so I’m sorry if this is in the wrong place. I was diagnosed with MVP 10 years ago with mild regurgitation. I also have first degree heartblock though I understand that’s trivial. I have the annual free flu vaccines and have had the pneumonia vaccine etc and have an annual hospital

Alternating heart beat
Hi, anyone else had this happen? Had ablation 6.5 months ago. Had a few periods of tachycardia, but hotter monitor showed nothing major. Had four episodes which lasted longer and I needed PIP. This week I've been rushing around and have probably done too much and yesterday morning I felt really tired

Angina
Hi all, Can I ask what your angina pains you get, as I am having different pains recently like electric shock to the heart they only last for a second, the other night I had about 8, I took gtn and the pain did go eventually. My doctor at the hospital said that shooting pains are not a symptom of angina

Help needed interpreting a Kardia report
The odd “quivering” heart sensation which I have now had for about 6 days continues every night. When I awoke this morning I took a Kardia reading whilst it was taking place and sent it off to Kardia for analysis. The finding is reproduced below. The bradycardia is known to my GP and cardiologist and

Frightened
I’ve recently been diagnosed with Stage 2 adenocarcinoma and about to undergo 8 weeks of chemo then surgery. It’s all been explained to me and someone on this site likened the surgery to being as major as heart surgery. What I’m struggling with right now is a sense of complete detachment, like I feel

I've been on Metoprolol for about three years now (low dose, half a pill morning and night). Can I wean off of it? If so, how?
I have had Afib, once recently that I was able to reset holding my breath. I'm not on a blood thinner. I'd like to see if it can be managed without the meds. I'm 66 and otherwise healthy. I had a some high blood pressure but cut almost all salt out and got that under control. I'd like to use supplements

Tricuspid repair/replacement
Hello everyone, my tricuspid valve was damaged in the course of ablation some years ago. I found out last year that my heart is no longer coping well and my valve needs repair. Are there any, women in particular, who have had open heart surgery or valve repair that can offer any advice or information

Apixaban issues
I have been ob Apixaban now for an number of years. But lately whenever I am having a blood test I seem to be having issues with either the vein not giving enough or just collapsing. But when one is found it then refuses to stop for some time. When I was on warfarin for over 20 years I did not have

Hi all, hope you can help me. I have been having problems with my heart for over 6 years now. Mostly Racing and ectopic beats. I have had many ECGs and had 24 hour monitor and one for 5 days. All they picked up was one episode of SVT which they did not seem bothered about. I am on a beta blocker but
