Collapse then AF
Dad has mixed dementia and is 90 in May. He lives alone with my support. He has a history of collapse dating back to the 1990's but only three in all that time. He had a pacemaker in 2017 due to another collapse and found to have some heart block. A year later he had another and this is when we noticed

Is it a choice? Pacemaker v Implanted defibrillator?
Hi, it's #chinkoflight here with an update. Things are moving on. I'm in coronary care, and the evidence for my fainting whilst running story has now shown an arrthymia at the time of the fall, effectively stopping my heart functioning, leading to the drop in blood pressure and the syncope event. It's

Persistent AF
Hi everyone, I have been to see my cardiologist today. Had all the usual tests done he asked me how I was feeling I said I felt really well. He then told me I was no longer in Paroxysmal AF and I was in Persistent AF. How can they tell? I have got to have an echocardiogram done and a machine fitted

New here - matazapine not working
I've also tried
cbd
oil, nytol, and other over the counter meds. Aound 6 weeks ago saw my g.p again she put me on matazapine 15mg which didn't help I'm now on 30mg and a week in and still nothing. I can be so exhausted at bedtime yet I'm up and down all night long.

Abalation Fears
Hi All Today I went and seen my Electrophysiology specialist and have booked in for an ablation in 2 weeks time. I am quite anxious about this whole procedure. He advised me it would be a 70% success rate and mentioned he does not like quoting over this rate. 70% is based on having no more AF episodes

Kidney biopsy confirms active GPA

any tests for Familial hypocholesterolemia?
hi there, Asking for hubby 54 who runs twice a week, plays table tennis, walks 40 mins a day, healthy diet (although we are looking at sugars, fats and the various debates), has done dry January due to a dodgy bilirubin result which corrected in 4 weeks not drinking. Cholesterol blood tests from

shortness of breath subsequent to zoledronic acid infusion
Because of GI problems, bisphosphonate tablets are not an option for me, so I have gone down the infusion path. I had my first infusion on December 28th, and experienced about three days of bad muscle pain, which then resolved itself. It was a couple of weeks later that I noticed that my ankles were

Monitor for Afib
Hi all,Having gone into permanent Afib after a covid infection with no previous history I've had a cardioversion whist on amiodarone. As far as I'm aware I'm still in sinus rhythm and now off amiodarone (thank goodness). I'm on the waiting list for an ablation. My question is it worth getting some kind

afib and chest infection
hi. My afib has been steady for around 3 months (ie no episodes). My HR runs around 52-60. I’ve started with a chest infection yesterday (can remember feeling like this for a long time) I checked my afib via Apple Watch and although it says I’m in sinus rhythm my HR is low to mid 90’s. Could this

Dont panic.All I could think of was Corporal Jones.
Hi everyone. Earlier today I had to go to the Post Office to renew my driving licence. Couldn't do it online as passport had expired. They take your old licence, payment and then take your photo. Made a proper spectacle of myself as I was literally gasping for air. The Post Office counter lady was

Afib medication
just spoken to a heart consultant first appointment. He has took me of bisporpol as heart rate still to high 180 bpm especially when I’m a sleep while in AFib. but I mentioned when I go back into normal sinus rhythm my pulse crashes to 30 beats per minute which makes me poorly in a way that I’m nearly

Slow Heart Rate
Does anyone else get episodes when their heart rate goes very low? I’m in AF the whole time and the only medication I’m on is propranolol. Since being AF my heart rate has increased but not massively and I tend to be around 80bpm. As far as I can tell my heart rate never goes above 100 unless with

Heart Rate Monitors
This may be a silly question but I'm a little confused. Whenever I see a doctor I'm often asked if I have a heart rate monitor and a blood pressure machine that can deal with AF. My BP machine can't detect AF but seems to be accurate otherwise when compared to readings at my GP. When it comes to heart

1st question re cardioversion
Hello everyone - I'm 68 and have had AF for about 2 years. Apart from a brief conversation re cardioversion and ablation when I was 1st diagnosed, none of the cardiologists I have seen have suggested that I should have cardioversion. I am currently taking 10mg of Bisoprolol a day in two 5mg tablets,

Do you know the difference between a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and a heart attack?
Would you be able to tell the difference between a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and a Heart Attack? If so, would you know what to do? A sudden cardiac arrest is often misunderstood to be the same as a heart attack.
They are not the same.
They are both an emergency situation. To learn more
