NHS Waiting Times
Hello I saw the Heart Failure Nurse January 31st she said you need a 24hr Holter so received appointment today for March 6th so just 5 weeks which I think is pretty reasonable. Just received another appointment to see H F Cardiologist on the 11th April so just 5 weeks after Holter. He is the ICD

Quick Poll: if you had to choose between not driving or not cooking what would it be? This is a heart related question!!
I will shortly be having an ICD fitted (defibrillator) to hopefully control idiopathic VT, I am currently in hospital waiting for a slot after an exercise related syncope event.So signing my consent forms and going through the risks and what not to do I can't drive for 6 months or until 6 months after

Heart Ablation vs Just Continuing Medications
Hi! I am struggling with making a decision to follow thru with my scheduled Heart Ablation procedure, or just continue my current medications that I have been on for almost 3 years. I am currently taking Diltiazem, Eliquis, and Flecainide, and have not had an espisode since I started the Flecainide

ICD,s
Hi Everyone!My partner has recently been fitted with an ICD in rather a fast manner following a call to attend A& E when this Heart Loop Recorder noted a 10 second Ventricular Standstill. He was unaware of this until his heart monitor team called but down the line he was fitted with an ICD that day.

Is it the Medication or am I Losing it?
Do you do daft things? This morning I picked up my toothbrush and instead of putting toothpaste on it picked up a tube of face wash cream and spread that on my toothbrush, as soon as the brush went in my mouth I knew what I'd done. Last week I took a carton of orange juice out of the fridge and poured

Digoxin, upset stomach
My husband has been on digoxin for three weeks and has had to come off them for 7 days to see if that’s what has been causing lots of unwanted trips to the toilet for last two weeks . They have upped his bisoprolol from 7.25 to 10mg a day to see if they can eliminate the cause for 7days . I’m worried

Online/Meet ups for people with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy struggling with Mental Health?
Hi everyone, so my partner was diagnosed with HC when he was 14. Been in great shape and only having medication for his condition up until 2016/2017, then 41, he was advised to have an ICD. Since then he's had 3 occasions where the device has delivered shock therapy and unfortunately the last 2 occasions

Vivid dreams and disturbed sleep
I dread going to bed! I used to be such a good sleeper but since taking Sotalol I have suffered.Does anyone in this group who take Sotalol get the same problems? Often the dreams are so vivid and weird they wake me with my heart pounding and then I have to decide if it's triggered my afib. I must say

Post ICD Implant-week 2
Hi all, I was hoping to get some feedback/advice from ideally ladies who have undergone ICD implant surgery. Today marks two weeks from getting an ICD. It is placed under the muscle and towards my armpit, over my left breast. I have been slowly building up some movement and a walking routine back

Visual disturbances after ablation
1 week post op and everyday I have had vision issues... blurriness, auras, tunnel vision. It happened while I was in the hospital still and they ruled out stroke, but the issue has persisted. Wondering if anyone else has experienced vision issues after an ablation and can provide some insight Thanks!

Pacemaker
Good morning so for months I have had feelings of fainting and hardly left my home. Anyway I finally had ecg echocardigram and R test. Saw my cardiologist yesterday and he said that I am now bracycardic as well as having Af so will need a pace maker. Bit of a shock. Also to immediately cut my propanalol

Cardiac MRI Scan
I was referred by the electrocardiologist for an MRI to assess the scar tissue etc before looking at an ICD... Went along this morning and couldn't do it. This is the 2nd time I've tried an MRI (last time was a back injury) and the 2nd time I've had to pull out almost immediately due to the claustrophobia

Statins
I had 2 HA in 2021. I have been on the usual medication since. I ended up with severe EF and now have an ICD. Recent blood tests have shown I have a lowered blood platelet. I am booked in with my GP on 15//2 but am concerned what is causing this. I have read it could be Statins. Is there anyone out there

Update on the AF journey…
Hi all, This isn’t so much a question but thought I’d post the ongoing journey…Be interested in what others think anyway. So AF started 22nd July ( or thereabouts). I started flecainide 50mg bd ( twice a day 😉) on 15th August and after 3 days on it on 18th I went back into sinus rhythm. Meantime
