Good News
Well I am not sure if you’d call it good news, but it is for me 13th was the FIRST birthday of my new heart so to speak lol that’s what I call it One year ago my EP found a way to save my life. I was unable to walk, and I had had a cardioversion that not only failed, but almost finished me off

Should one asymptomatic and isolated AF episode be medicated?
Hi Forum. At my pre op assessment (for hip surgery) last Monday the ECG showed AF. No symptoms at all, I walk my dogs +/- 4 miles daily. My BP machine shows normal resting heart rate and BP. So on strength of one ECG my GP has prescribed anticoagulant tabs which I know is for the AF risk of clotting.

Consider Archery for Building Strength
I realize this post may not apply to all of us, but hear me out, not all of us can or want to spend an hour at the gym pounding weights or running , yet we don't want to waste away and lose our strength . I read an article that stated brief intermittent burst of light to moderate exertion type exercise

Prescribed NDT on NHS now doctor refusing to prescribe. Help!
I has to move GP Practise and before moving to current one I asked to speak to a GP. Receptionist said it wasnt necessary if a nhs consultant has recommended they will prescribe. So wouldn't get a doctor to phone me. I moved. All seem good but my repeats were not being set up. So became concerned.

Successfully treated my Multiple Myeloma and now in remission from both MM and PCA

Bisoprolol & Apixaban
Early sixties. Coming up to two years when I had peridarditis which developed into permanent afib until I had cardio version four months later. Been mostly clear since then but occasional bursts of arrythmia, typically early beats. Think I was stressed out but have also given up alcohol and now exercising

3 weeks post CABG surgery
Looking for a bit of reassurance… My dad had a triple heart bypass 3 weeks ago, all went well apart from starting with a chest infection whilst in ICU. He was given IV antibiotics then oral antibiotics and was discharged after 5 days. He’s been home just over 2 weeks now and has been to the GP and his
