How many here like us had needed heart surgery postponed in last 12 months? Still waiting? Hoping for it to be in this next COVID lull?
Still concerned that some Trusts, NHS generally not attending to non-COVID life threatening, time critical surgeries as they should be.

Chest Pains.
I keep getting chest pains but had X-rays for my chest and it is all normal. They keep saying it is muscular pain but I have taken everything they give me and nothing seems to work.

- any other ideas? More paracetamol? Anything not already doing? How long would a flare usually last if doing the above?

DBS for Parkinsons
Need a little info on the DBS surgery for Parkinson’s. Doc says our daughter has reached the limit for the Sinemet dosage and is beginning g to show signs of needing more help. The only thing left is DBS. She’s not worried about the actual surgery but the cost since her insurance won’t cover very much

What are the particular coronary artery disease risk factors from Hashi’s?
Case: ECG reading in a healthy, non-smoking, young person (42) with Hashimoto’s that indicates possible coronary artery disease. Question: What is the most likely Hashimoto’s connection to this kind of reading / heart disease? Background: No thyroid or vitamin tests done in hospital. Most recent TSH

Rate control strategy
Does anyone just take a fast acting metoprolol or Diltiazam when they go into AFIB, vs. taking a slow release 24 hour dose every single day. It almost seems my AFIB comes on easier when my heart rate and blood pressure is in the low range. Thanks!

Has anyone had kidney problems after heart surgery ?
I underwent surgery for a leaky mitral heart valve in September and unfortunately suffered renal failure which meant I was on dialysis, until my kidneys recovered. Has anyone else had the same experience ?

Have you ever used a patch to record the rhythm of your heart at home?
We think diagnostic technologies like this can be especially useful during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing a patient to first have a telephone/video consultation before the patch is sent direct to their home. Zio is a promising new ECG patch which can be worn for up to 14 days. The National Institute

Recent diagnosis of Paroxysmal AF and underlining Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) syndrome
Hello all, I haven't written on here before but thought I would see if anyone knows some further information then what I could find on Google...

Low blood pressure and AF ?
I had a cardioversion 6 years ago which corrected my persistence AF. Sadly I am in now back in persistent AF and experiencing problems with low blood pressure. When my BP is normal I feel great and have no other symptoms but when my BP drops I feel absolutely awful and have to rest. Have been taking

New to group
Hi I have just discovered this group and for my first post I though I would post my heart problems story. Last year I was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and had a severe case of heart failure. I had just turned 38 at the time. I had a bad case of flu for a few weeks before the diagnosis. All

Broad complex tachycardia
Has anyone experienced broad complex tachycardia on a 24 holter ? Should I be worried? GP has requested an echo! I had two episodes that lasted less than 3 seconds and no symptoms other than felt them. GP said my HR went to 146bpm. The rest was normal sinus rhythm. Feeling a bit stressed with it all
