Hi I am female 57 an ex smoker who uses a vape and need to lose some weight. I recently came back from a long haul holiday and went to GP as I was a bit breathless and thought I may have an embolism. They noted that my heart rate was very high and sent me to hospital. I had an ECG and they told me

Bradycardia Continuing After Reducing Bisoprolol?
Hi everyone, I have posted on the forum before about me potentially being very sensitive to Bisoprolol, after I had to half my 1.25mg dose on the advice of A&E and my GP to see if this would bring my heart rate up which was previously sitting in the low 40s and 50s the majority of the time. This means

Advice please!
Hello! I’m after some advice please in relation to an ongoing heart rate issue that’s causing me to worry! I’m a 41 year old male, not overweight and I don’t smoke. We were sat at work and all decided to check our heart rates on our watches. Mine went from 98bpm then down to 43bpm which I thought

Leaky Aortic Valve
Before Christmas I was told I had a heart murmur. Following an ECG my GP said it showed left ventricular hypertrophy. She sent me for an echocardiogram which the technologist said didn’t show LVH but a leaky aortic valve. I haven’t had the official results (not sent to my GP) and my telephone consultation

Update (Perspiring profusely)
Good morning all. After all your good advice I managed to see my Dr on Friday morning. I had the usual tests ECG, blood pressure, blood tests, etc. He wasn't unduly worried about any of them (still waiting for blood test results). That has put my mind at ease but he has told me to go to A&E if the

Chest 'pain' and anxiety - it's back and I hate it!
Hello crew, and hope those that watched the Crowning business enjoyed the ceremony today. Since about 6pm last night (after a day sitting quietly at my desk at home) I've noticed a return of what I've called the 'biting' in my left chest - a little nagging 'pain' that branches to my left armpit and

I’m back with this heart fear crap… I hate it
My life just feels like endless torture sometimes with the symptoms I get, like I’m a 21 male I’m overweight but have no other heart risk factors. Was up AE again after a 3 month time out. Everything fine after a 9 hour wait, trops were 4 and ECG perfect. Just high HR and BP usually from my anxiety.

Heart Attack Journal #2
I really didn’t think I’d be back here again. After my first MI in August 2019, I really thought that the medication I was on would prevent a repeat of this. However, 3 ½ years on, it’s happened again. Seems that I’m in the small minority (less than 2%) for whom the standard medication doesn’t prevent

Waiting for Holter test for 8 months for abnormal ECG
Hi,In my 40s I had a heart scan that showed a PFO but was reassured it was an incidental finding. I'm 56 now and after having palpatations last summer ( 22) I had an ECG that showed abnormal repolarization. My GP referred me for a Holter monitor test and I'm still waiting 8 months later ! I've contacted

Just diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation
Hi I was diagnosed with A-fib a couple of weeks ago via an ECG trace on my Kardia mobile. I am now on Apixaban 5mgs twice daily and Atenelol and have been advised that an ablation is the best way forward. I only have had 3 episodes to my knowledge and so it paroxysmal but makes me feel pretty unwell

Worried!
I started experiencing palpitations last year and didn’t worry too much. They seemed to start after I had the Covid jab followed by Covid itself. I went to my GP several weeks ago about the palpitations. As I was taking a low dose antidepressant ( Citalopram) with a PPI, my GP arranged an ECG. In the
