Yearly blood test
I take it many of you have reached the time when you are having your yearly blood test after heart bypass. I just wondered how conclusive and accurate you have found the results.

Resting HR on Bisoprolol
Hi everyone, I was put on 1.25 Bisoprolol in March when I had a heart attack and then told to take it twice a day in July when I went into Atrial Flutter after open heart surgery, meaning I'm now on 2.5mg. My resting heart rate was mostly in the low 60s these last 6 months which I assumed was good. The

INR control
Hi don't know if this is of any interest to anyone ,but my INR has always been impossible to stabilize My heamatologist suggested taking a small dose of vitamin K and increasing the warfarin dose I didn't do this as don't want to be taking any more supplements, So I decided to massively increase my intake

Regular care
I was diagnosed with AF around four years ago now, by a cardiologist in a major teaching hospital. I was put on anticoagulants and referred back to my GP. The local surgery check my meds yearly and I have an annual blood test, but that’s it. I am wondering whether I should ask to be referred back to

How do I know if I'm fixed? Calling all runners!
Hi, I'm a 59 year old male who's been running (Half and full Marathon) for about 12 years (previously a regular swimmer and cyclist). I've always been fit and lived what I thought was a healthy lifestyle, never smoked, little alcohol, avoided fast foods, minimal red meat, mostly chicken and fish. I

Heart rate tracker anomalies
Hi everyone, I'm getting quite anxious due to my Fitbit reporting strange peaks in my heart rate. This was 4:37 this morning, and back to 70bpm 3 mins later. I slept through this so have no idea if it's accurate. Yesterday it said my heart was 187bpm while I was walking briskly to meet someone for lunch

Dilated Cardiomyopathy/ Heart Transplant
I was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy in November 2022 after suffering shortness of breath and always being tired and breathless. I quickly deteriorated and when I went back to see my Cardiologist in January I was told I was now critical and needed to be admitted and put on the urgent transplant

What is a realistic fitness goal?
Hello all, this is my first post. I have had 3 previous heart operations for a repair of truncus arteriosus when I was 13 days old, 8 years old and 27 years old. What is a reasonable, sustainable long-term fitness goal given this background? I can share more details about where I am now if asked. Thank

Open heart surgery
After my cardiology review midweek I’m being booked in for an angiogram and it’s been suggested I will be considered for an aortic valve replacement in the next couple of months.

cuz have a very bad pain just above my pelvis on the left side. Yoga in half an hour so some deep stretches should help. I hope everyone is ok and not letting economic worries get them down too much.

Oh no, I don't want this 😭
Hi, I've had a heart monitor fitted since beginning of June this year. The specialist says I've had a couple of 150+ HR events, and one event of no heartbeat for 3 seconds. My resting HR is often 37bpm, blood pressure is just about perfect 120/80. I don't get out of breath, though can get low blood sugar

Afib Stroke Risk Lower in those that take Statins
Statin use is usually associated with a reduction of cholesterol and heart attacks, but a new study also shows an important additional benefit -- a significant reduction in strokes and TIA's in the Afib population. Something to discuss with your doctor if you're not already on statins, especially

About me
In the late spring of 2015, I found myself depressed. I sought out a psychologist. I quite liked him, but treatment had no positive effects. I was experiencing strange physical effects at the same time… Things like walking became difficult, my body was stiff, and my sense of smell and taste had diminished

Nailfold infection
I have my second nailfold infection in 2 months - it is proving difficult to resolve and a few days ago a telangectasia bled profusely for no reason. Is this connected to my Systemic Sclerosis or just a coincident. Thanks for any thoughts on this.
