Hello all, I was first diagnosed with heart failure in November 2017, had an ICD fitted 6 months later. Last June I was taken into hospital with sepsis, I went into septic shock twice and almost died twice, they suspected that those nasty little critters were hiding in the ICD. After returning home

Does a heart still remodel if medications stop AF completely?
I read a response to a recent post today where a member with recently diagnosed AF was tossing up whether they should continue with meds or get an ablation. The response was yes, you should get an ablation, if you don't you will run the risk that your heart will remodel and the success rate for ablation

ICD Firing
I’ve recently (6 weeks ago) had a icd fitted for VT. I am also in stubborn AF. This was all very sudden. I’m a 46 year old who has been active and fit previously. Last Wednesday I was out for a light run, and the ICD fired as my AF triggered it. I felt absolutely fine so the shock came as quite a, well

S-ICD - Am I still able to exercise as normal without too many limitations?
Hi all, thanks for reading! I’m in my early 30’s and have recently been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and I’m having a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) put in soon. I am very sporty and love running (fortunately my specialists have said I can carry on with this but I now

New to Afib- tiredness
Diagnosed a little over a week ago with Afib. On Diltazem and Eloquis. I am 58 years old and always been healthy until now. They have given me Flecainide to start taking daily if I have another episode. My question is about being so tired all the time. I sleep a lot but have to work full time.

low T4 and T3 normal TSH
I posted earlier in the year about my daughter diagnosed with post partum thyroiditis , no treatment at the time but endocrinologist said he’d keep an eye on her! Her most recent results seem odd to me in that both T4 and T3 are very low but her TSH is also low - her case has been closed and results

Knowledge Isn't Enough
Hi Everyone! I've been reading and responding for several months, but this is my first OP. ADHD was diagnosed at 54, I'm almost 67 now. At the time, I was still working, and Vyvanse was a small miracle! After several years, I got breast cancer and stopped meds while I went through chemo and radiation

travelling with an ICD
I haven’t flown since my ICD was implanted. Do security need any particular proof? I have my card with the device details but wondered if I need a letter from the hospital. I’m flying to Italy from Gatwick.

Heart rate up and down
my husband is currently waiting for an appointment with the arrhythmia clinic after suffering a stroke 3 months ago . As I’ve mentioned before he had an ablation in 2017 which had obviously stopped working at some point . Just curious as to whether anyone else s heart rate varies so much . He can go
