heart rate / calcium channel blockers
Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask but at the end of May I had an episode of vasovagal syncope and was diagnosed with pernicious anemia, which I was then medicated for. I continued to have fainting episodes and was then diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension. My heart rate rises by 50bpm

Covid booster..good news story
We are all different, and respond differently to meds, vaccines, etc. I thought I'd post to say I had both my Covid booster (my 7th covid jab to date) and my flu jab on Sat. I had a slightly sore arm, and that was it. The least reaction I've had to date. BTW I was Pfizered, like in the spring. I

Kardia. An alternate way to use it.
I think Kardia is a great home device and own four of their models. However, from experience and after reading many posts here, it seems that how you use Kardia can often be the difference between it being helpful device that helps diagnose and manage arrhythmia's, and a device that causes more stress

Peace of Mind
Over the past several months I've not been quite as active on the forum. This has been because I've been busy attending a host of appointments with different medical professionals, ranging from the practise nurse to various consultants, all in order to discover the cause of some uncomfortable and worrying

Is musculosketetal condition associated with PMR
I have not written on the form for a while but would like your thoughts on the following: On Sunday night and all day Monday I had chest pain especially when breathing in, and both shoulders and upper back were sore. It was still very painful on Tuesday so I phoned GP and was told as it was chest pains

palpatations
I had a full on MI 7 weeks ago and am very lucky to still be here. Obviously on a lot of meds but chest pain is nearly just the odd twinge from the CPR damage and possible Pericarditis (which I’m taking Cochicine for). My question is, I’ve suddenly started to get an episode of palpatations once a day

Update from symptoms etc...
OK guys, to give you a bit of an update. Nurse from surgery called this afternoon and has asked me to do a weeks worth of BP readings, done at rest twice daily. I also have a blood test booked to recheck thyroid levels and dependant on results of BP could have an ECG too. Was expecting more of a follow

Short spikes of raised HR?
Hello again, My ablation was mid March and I've been in NSR since bar 2 short episodes of AF that self converted when I was under extreme stress. Every now and then (once every 3 weeks or so) I guess I get a short spike of raised heart rate shown on my fitbit, if I'm sitting quietly I'm aware of it

Covid Jabs
Does being hypothyroid and asthmatic qualify anyone aged 60 for a Covid jab this winter, does anyone know? Receptionist at my surgery has just told me not. Although they want me to have a flu jab! I can't figure that out at all... And what do you guys think about having one anyway? I've had three

Feeling really low at the minute. Sorry this is a long one but just want to write it all down.
After Nstemi in March, I went back to work in April. Was feeling pretty good apart from a burning sensation in the chest area not quite every day. I am on the gold standard meds, apparently and the GP advised that my 3 months was up to and to stop clopidogrel on 14 June. Which I did. He increased my

GCA, Afib, heart failure
I was concerned my Afib following a TIA Aug 23 wasn’t controlled. GP requested bloods for BNP plus CRP/ ESR which hadn’t been done since March. I have had bouts of fatigue which have up to now been linked to adrenals following a Syncathen test. The CRP came back as 15, ESR 14. Rheumatology helpline suggested

my TAVI experience
hi I had myTAVI on Wednesday and apart from horrendous bruising and for some reason a bit of backache I am home. One or two minor problems in hospital with oxygen level dropping to 70 and ECG being ‘prolonged’ but everything settled fine . They said my heart had 80% pressure not sure what that means

Palpitations/Arrhythmias safe/unsafe limits
So my problems still continuing, but at least I know from the angiogram done Dec 2023, my heart is clear of blockages, but I have some furring of the arteries Does anyone know what are the safe/unsafe limits for palpitations/arrhythmias, which I'm currently experiencing. So from the beginning of May
