Recent echo after A/F diagnosis
Had a 3X CABG 19 years ago ( I'm 69 now) and just 3 months back had a bout of A/F which was treated with the usual Bisoprolol and Warfarin (bad reaction to Apixaban so that was a no go). Had the echo 3 weeks ago and was given the results yesterday - valves working well but Ejection fraction down to 40

Energy Drinks post Stent
I had a heart attack in 2016, and a stent fitted the week after. Been on standard meds ever since. I've had no angina, no issues and I train hard in the gym 6 days a week doing both hard cardio and weight training. I can cycle miles with no issues, and train with weights for 3 hours with no issues,

Lipitor
My husband's was prescribed 20mg Lipitor per day following the fitting of a stent. He was informed that whilst his cholesterol was "low" this was required to protect the stent. He has been taking this dose for many years. However, in February he was admitted into hospital suffering from confusion

Is it common to get chest pains with thyroid problems?
I saw a post today from someone who was having chest pain with their thyroid problem and was wondering if my pain could indicate I have the same.

I've always had an interest in butterflies (lepidoptera) but life got in the way over the years and my hobby fell by the wayside - like a lot of us I suppose. While I've been off work recovering from a CABGx3 in February this year I found six little caterpillars on a kale-type plant near one of my

2nd night home
My partner is 45 and was told 3 weeks ago that he was suffering from panic attacks after we rushed him to A&E , in the following week the pains got worse so we asked the G.P for a second opinion, the G.P prescribed beta blockers and arranged a phone appointment for next week with a cardiologist, unfortunately

diet benefits?
Dear all, I thought my story might be of interest to some. 3 yrs ago I collapsed in the gym with some sort of arrhythmia which spontaneously recovered after half an hour. During that episode I never had any chest pain. I was subsequently investigated and by exercise echocardiogram was found to have exercise
