Gp intervention
I have my AFib under control after being prescribed my meds by my heart consultant. I take Flecainide, Apixaban, & Propranolol which controls my a fib. However, I have just realised that my Gp has halved my propranolol dose without consultation! ( from 80 mg to 40 mg) I am due to have a medical review

Open heart surgery
I’m slightly anxious about my upcoming surgery for a mitral valve replacement and repair of atrium valve plus bypass on 16 January. I suffer from COPD. My worries are not actually about the heart side of the op, I have an amazing Clinical Lead who is extremely capable of this op. Amazing and clever

I am new here, struggling with feeling lonely and feeling stuck
does anyone else since becoming sick find it extremely isolating? I was 20 ish when I first started to become unwell and my tachycardia just got worse and worse as the years went by. I collapsed multiple times, one time I even split my head open after smacking off of a sink which was not a fun experience

Open Heart Surgery in my Future - urrrgghh
Hi lovely hearties, hope you're all having a good betwixtmass and have managed to catch up with loved ones and indulge in small pleasures. I had my meeting with the ACHD consultant yesterday and he showed me the Echo of my heart. Yes, I have a hole in my atrial septum. And it's big; 20-30mm, he reckons

Monster Returns
Without provocation (no triggers), I startled awake in Afib which turned into tachycardia and has continued for 48 hours now. So after a respite of nine months from my FOURTH ablation [& coming off flecainide (due to left bundle block), but still on metoprolol ER, amlodipine, and Xarelto], I’m beginning

Erectile Dysfunction
Still having Ed problems. I was given Viagra/Sindafil which didn't really do that much. I believe Cialis is better, quicker and longer lasting. Must contact GP as it's making me feel a bit depressed. Have to use pps to get off. Anyone else in the same situation?

Night sweats
Since having open heart surgery nearly three years ago, my husband has night sweats. They happen regularly but not all the time, if that makes sense. I can usually tell the nights he is going to have them because he either feels incredibly cold on the day/evening before or more tired than normal.

My Onco says he only looks at the PCa, bone health is not his department, I say he couldn't be more wrong.

Post cryoablation
I had my ablation on Friday 16th Dec 2022.Everything went fine but I was on the operating table for about 5 hours. I have a narrowing in my oesophagus so access was difficult. Anyway I had bad chest pains on the Monday night so went to A&E where I had blood tests which found I had a rising Cardiac Troponin

Have you stopped things that might hurt your bone health?
I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis and there is no way that I will agree to taking Prolia or similar drugs. You could not pay me a million dollars to take these dangerous drugs! I would like to go the natural way to just try to maintain my current situation. So I have increased calcium

useful video from ‘my hero’ on atrial fibrillation and the different treatment methods used and when (including surgery)
an interview with steven hunter, cardio thoracic surgeon . I am now 8 months post surgery and still in NSR, hoping to follow in the shoes of the other once persistent mr Hunter patients on here who have been afib free for a long time. I wanted to share for those in persistent who don’t want to manage
