Post Ablation 3 months
It has been three months since my cardiac ablation for PAC's and irregular beats. It hasn't been easy for me by any means. Almost every side effect that could happen has happened. I'm so worried that the ablation didn't work, but it's my understanding by my doctor this could take three to six months

I don’t know how to deal with my narcissist basket case of a mother anymore.
Like people are even going to believe that my aunt was writing anything after she went into
cardiac
arrest
?! I’m not even angry anymore, I’m just sad. I can’t argue with her all the time, it’s exhausting.

WAKING UP AFTER A CARDIAC ARREST RESUSCITATION
My wife 51years of age had
cardiac
arrest
and resuscitated after four attempts by the doctors who were there when it happened. This is two weeks going and can only open her eyes at day 3 and nothing more. She is presently in Intensive Care? This is very traumatic for me and my children.

New - after cardiac arrest
My husband suffered a heart attack followed by
cardiac
arrest
on 16 July. We were lucky and got prompt attention from passersby and ambulance who shocked and ventilated him. He has a stent fitted spent time in a coma at Kings and is now home having also been diagnosed with diabetes.

Wierd High Blood pressure Experience question?
My question has anyone else experienced the random high blood pressure since their brain injury or surviving
cardiac
arrest
or a grand mal seizure? If so, did you find out what would cause that to happen? And what treatment/medication was given as a result of this?

Back Pain
Does any have any remedy for back pain? It’s kind of making me a little anxious. I understand that I’m supposed to limit bed rest and if possible I want to still continue exercising without causing more strain. I’ve tried yoga for back pain and it helps a little.Does anyone have any other methods that

Hi, I'm New here
Morning all this is my first post. I was diagnosed with Severe Heart Disease last November (2016) after having severe chest pains which I ignored for some time (not my best decision). I had all the tests and was told I have unstable Angina and had 2 stents fitted. Two weeks ago the chest pains started

2nd Opinion Sidelined
Well,the best laid plans of mice and men have come to roost. I was all set to search out a 2nd opinion when it was discovered that I have fractured a rib. Lots of home bed rest, a sports bra that zips in the front, and just plain rest. I'm even moe disappointed that it was mentioned in the last ST report

POTS/Anorexia
I also died by a
cardiac
arrest
but I wasn't revived. I know how that sounds you can decided to believe me or not. But that hurt. From then on my heart would hurt off and on. The doctors said up until now that there was no damage.

Then all of a sudden a man comes in with
cardiac
arrest

Constantly scared!
Hi, I know it probably sounds pathetic and many of you on here have been very ill, but my hubby had a
cardiac
arrest
at the end of July. He just went down like a sack of spuds and no-one as yet can explain why other than it's the 'electrics'.

Ablation number 3 is 8 days away.
Pre op is tomorrow so I'm having a day trip to Manchester. This'll be my 3rd ablation and my first one since Christmas 2014. I didn't know my partner back then, but she's bricking it more than I am. It's been weird trying to explain it to her and her family and how it's not "a big deal" even though

Recommendations for family trip to Orlando?
I was wondering if any of you have visited Disneyland/ Universal Studios in Orlando with ICD’s fitted and what your experiences were, as I had my defibrillator fitted in May, after experiencing a
cardiac
