Leaking Bicuspid aortic valve
I know my heart is enlarged from my
echocardiogram
, however don’t know anything more yet. I am worried and more frustrated at the length of time it has taken to diagnose and the fact I’m still waiting on further tests.

High blood pressure medication problems
I had ecg and doc sending me for
echocardiogram
next due in couple of weeks as she suspects thickened heart wall which sounds scary. Any advice appreciated as not sure what’s going on with myself!

Referral to RACPC come through, what to expect?
She specifically mentioned I need an
echocardiogram
but I’ve heard nothing about this since.

Left Bundle Branch Block & Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Had ultrasound and it come back I have LBBB and moderate left ventricular systolic dysfunction (by
echocardiogram
). Cardiologist said sometimes the echo can often over-estimate the degree of impairment so will have to wait until MRI results to come back.

None the wiser
The plan was to use an exercise bike to increase my heart rate ti 128 bpm then use ultrasound
echocardiogram
and ECG to look at my heart, Before I'd even started to pedal my heart rate was 130 and it was hard to see from the ECGs if I was in Sinus and if so what would explain the hgh rate or whether

Early Morning chest tightness
Anyway, I don't know whether to ask my GP for a private referral to a cardiologist for perhaps an
Echocardiogram
or a CT scan to try to bottom this.

Possible Clot on Prosthetic Valve
From there she arranged an
echocardiogram
which was originally due in 2020, and this was eventually carried out in January of this year.

Intermittent breathlessness with effort
My last
echocardiogram
was normal. Any idea what it could be? It can be very debilitating as I feel almost as if I'm going to faint. The rest of the time I have no problems. I'm a bit convinced it's the beta- blocker but why only from time to time? Thank you for reading! Take care X

Status Update Post-atrial Cardioäblation:
Had rapid atrial quivering/fibrillation develop in Feb '21 while I was focused on avoiding a second heart attack after having had a major one 9½ years earlier. Got put on meds to see if AFib could be managed that way but worsened to the point that by Aug, my heart was tracked at 244 BPM and I'd collapsed

Flecainide daily without beta blocker
I had an
echocardiogram
prior to being prescribed Flecainide and have had no issues with any side effects taking it as a PIP and it has always put me back into NSR within one to three hours.

Hi, been suffering with flutters since 3 am this morning, still awaiting info from my doctor, tried to ring this morning, no joy, no Drs in.
I had a 24 hr ECG which apparently picked up an abnormality, I then had an
Echocardiogram
and CT scan which showed a healthy heart, this has been going on for months. I tried to speak to my GP this morning, but no GP's in surgery today.

Pill in pocket - help! does anyone know what I should do?
I don’t have anything structurally wrong with my heart after the
echocardiogram
last year. I am hoping to get an ablation and am waiting for a call to now see an EP privately in next couple of weeks as I’d be waiting forever with my hospital.

Advice on Heart Failure
I've been diagnosed with heart failure, when I'm normally a fit and healthy guy. Cant walk more than 10 paces up the stairs or sleep due to breathlessness. GP has sent me for ecg, bloods and chest x ray. I had to beg for an echo cardiogram (not had yet). There seems to be no urgency to treat me, and

Could this be PMR related?
Having lived with PMR for almost 5 years, I really felt I understood this illness pretty well but I’m having different issues just now and am having pain around the midrib area, accompanied by Heart beat of around 140bpm and blood pressure of 205/95. This started a couple of months ago and I was taken
