Heart Valve Replacement - severe dizziness and breathing difficulties 1 year+ post op
Hi! My dad had his 3rd open heart surgery last July (2021) and he's been poorly ever since. He had a heart infection which went undiagnosed for months (despite lots of GP phonecalls) resulting in an emergency valve replacement (he was born with a hole in the heart and was due another soon anyway but

Emergency Room Visit: Besremi and Afib?
It was a stressful week last two weeks as my husband had open heart surgery on November 21 and I'm taking care of him at home now. Last night around 9pm I noticed shortness of breath, and a racing heart after doing a lot of work around the house. My Apple watch said I was in atrial fibrillation with

LIMA by pass or open heart surgery by pass which hals the best longevity does anyone know)?
My husband has been told he could have a LAD by pass using mammary artery instead of leg version. They do keyhole surgery through rib cage. Has anyone had this? Is it different to quality of open heart surgery ?

Tilapia Loin with Creamy Dressing, Asparagus and Whole Grain roll
The roll is an oatmeal roll made with whole wheat and spread with EVOO, a little salt and plenty of garlic powder; the asparagus was blanched then tossed in olive oil and topped with lemon zest and the tilapia loin is covered in a creamy herbal lemon aoli.

Nervous about upcoming bypass surgery
Hello all. I’ve got heart bypass scheduled soon and worries are creeping in. It’s all happened really fast with me being in my early 40s and fairy active. Then being told post angiogram that a triple bypass is needed (mainly due to genetics I’m told). Any advice would be great.

"Remodelling" of the heart
A member has lately said that the MDs have advised him to go for an ablation as soon as possible (he is in his 50-ties) in the course to prevent "remodelling" of the heart. I do believe in their good intention, but am puzzled if that really is so. The normal heart operation is with the coooperation

Metoprolol
I have a CT angiogram tomorrow at 0830 and have been given two tablets of Metoprolol (50mg) to take 12 hrs and then 2hrs before the procedure. This is apparently to slow the heart down (to below 60bpm). I rang the hospital and told them that I already take Sotalol and my heart rate is generally slow

supra-arterial myotomy
hello has anyone had this heart surgery? It seems to be more available in US but not so in UK. Technically it’s cutting the heart muscle open to release the (most common) LAD which grew inside the heart muscle instead of on the surface of the heart during pregnancy so is a congenital heart defect (myocardial

Pregnancy pain relief
Wondering if anyone has any tips for pain relief while pregnant? I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant and today I've really struggled with pain across my entire back, to the point I've laid in bed sobbing tonight. My usual go to would be deep heat/voltarol/ibuprofen gel but none are able to be used during

Never Ending
I was only diagnosed a week ago, after a weekend of being in AFib, went to the ER. Confirmed. It's been non stop ever since. I am now on Xarelto and Metoprolol 50 x2 a day. NO relief. Most of my ECG readings show heart rate around 130-140. BP mostly ok--a bit high, but not awful. I find myself

Trip Tips?
I’m 71 and run mainly to maintain
bone
health
(I gave osteopenia) so could do without a repeat. I have a reputation for tripping- even when walking. Besides remembering to pick my feet up at every step, what can I do? Any footwear better than another? Anything else? Knee and elbow protectors?
