Newbie - Constant bradycardia afib/arrhythmia symptoms?
Hi! I'm curious if anyone has/had constant 24/7 bradycardia afib/arrhythmia? What symptoms did you experience? Short background, husband had an ICD implanted 6 of Feb and it has caused/triggered constant afib (reading medical research I now understand these procedures are known to in cases be pro-arrhythmic

Mitral Valve
Hi to all, Up and till 7 March 2024, I never even had one thought about my heart valves. One week later I am scheduled for open heart surgery to replace the valve on 20 March 2024. I think I am still in shock and denial. I am feeling anxious about the operation and whether I would die in theatre. Should

Exercise following open heart surgery
Eleven weeks ago I had open heart surgery to remove a large atrial myxoma. I would now like to start getting back into exercise as I’m feeling much better though still have some soreness around my sternum. I would particularly like to get back into yoga to build up my strength and suppleness. Has anyone

Aspirin vs apixaban and other blood thinners
Has anyone here with atrial fibrillation been prescribed aspirin rather than other blood thinners like apixaban? I would rather take aspirin but my cardiologist prefers apixaban. It seems like there is research that goes both ways. My GP rolls his eyes and says opinion changes from year to year. I

Congenital Heart Disease
Hello This is mainly aimed at Females who have congenital heart disease. I have recently had my third open heart surgery, it’s been successful and I’m recovering well. I would like my own family in the future which the hospital is aware of because that’s on of the reasons as to why I have had surgery

Facebook group for parents of children with heart block
Hi! My daughter was diagnosed with heart block when she was a year old. I've found it really hard that so little information is available about heart block in children, and there is no specific group for affected families in the UK. I am sure that lots of families have useful knowledge and experience

Discomfort 8 weeks post ablation
So sorry to ask a question again. I live on my own and things get worrying. Had ablation 8 weeks ago and after 10 days felt great. Walking well etc etc. 3 days ago I started to feel chest discomfort and aching in my back. My Apple Watch says I am in sinus rhythm and 65-75bpm but the trace is all over

Recovery
Has anyone else had previous open heart surgery and had burning pain and discomfort in left side of ribs, back and sharp pains in chest? I know this is all part of the healing process but the burning pain and discomfort has started in the past week, which is my third/forth week after surgery. I expected

I have lately been to the DRs with my open heart scar.. The top and bottom of the scar is oozing yellow pus, which has been dressed. Since noticing the oozing I have also noticed the left side of my breast, back and chest is very painful and uncomfortable especially in the morning and evenings. I don

feeling alone
Hello, I wondered if anyone else felt like this? I have a very rare heart condition and require open heart surgery very soon. It’s all come as a big shock as I didn’t know I had one. I don’t feel typical feelings of anger or worry etc. I feel really lonely. Most things in life someone can go through

Three weeks after open heart surgery
During the day I feel ok, walking around, doing light jobs around the house. In the morning I feel sore and struggle to get out of bed, in the evening I have a painful pain across my left breast, ribs and down my back and continues even after taking painkillers.

Possible carotid artery problem discovered 3 weeks after double heart bypass surgery.
My hubby has been home for 2 weeks after his bypass surgery, and because of an ongoing vision problem, it's now suspected that his carotid artery also has blockage(s) and clots are happening. He's going to have an ultrasound urgently. Poor man, still very much recovering from surgery. Is this familiar

Which option for surgery
My dad has been waiting for open heart surgery for a valve replacement for 2 years. He is now faced with a second option, TAVI, rather than open heart. Does anyone have any experience or helpful advice? We are researching for him so that he can make an informed decision. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Back Pain
Can anyone tell me what painkillers I can take for persistent low back pain. I have tried most of them but for some reason nothing seems to work. I have heart failure and CKD, so can’t take Ibuprofen. At the moment I’m on dihydrocodiene and paracetamol which I know is strong but unfortunately it doesn
