The continuing saga of the purple toe
Surprise, surprise, after having a MRI scan of my legs, an echocardiogram, an ECG and a twenty four hour heart monitor, no trace of blockages except what the consultant called a 'pinch' in a leg artery, suspected of causing a blood clot and the purple toe. But, on my last appointment with the consultant

waiting for a diagnosis
hi, I have just joined this forum and hope someone can reassure me. I have been having chest pains but put it down to indigestion until last week when it was worse. I didn’t want to call an ambulance as gp suggested but they saw me in surgery straight away. I have been on statins for years as most of

Referal to cardiology after 24hr holter monitor result
At the end of Sept I had a 24hr holter monitor having experienced some intense palpitations. I was told the result should be with my gp withing 2 weeks. A couple of days ago (7weeks after having it done) I looked on my GP online records. I saw there was a letter with the ECG results there, but frustratingly

Diagnosed at 61
I had a my first tonic clonic seizure June 23. I'd been having focal seizures for 10 years but didn't know what they were, so never saw the doctor. I've had CT scan, MRI and all normal. Had an ECT and that showed abnormal electrical activity in my brain which shocked me. I started Lamotrigine in July

Can your HR be over 200 without you noticing?
Simply that. I bought a new Fitbit Charge 6 last week to try and eradicate the weird 'peaks' and inaccurate HR readings of my old Luxe. I've had a week of cheerful accuracy, until today. 209bpm, sitting quietly at my desk?? And 52bpm either side seems odd, it's not that low during sleep... I didn't feel

24 hour monitor
My paroxysmal AF was not picked up on a 24 hour monitor. I was checked a couple of times over a 5 year timespan and told that I just had lots of ectopics. Finally, when it became more severe the GP eventually relented and booked me in for a seven day monitor whcich picked up the atrial fibrillation

past my sell by date part 3
I sort of struck lucky with a new gp who ordered a raft of tests “Sort of” because whereas I couldn’t understand some results I have been booked in for a US urinary tract because neither antibiotics or pessaries helped. Despite already taking amlodipine for bp my latest reading is 150/75. An ECG was

Myocarditis - new here
Hello, I’m glad I’ve found this chat as I feel pretty isolated with this new condition. My story sounds like some I’ve read on here: I spent a week in hospital 7 weeks ago following a very painful episode of heartburn - which turned out to be my stomach but a blood test revealed high troponins. Since

Stopped meds for 2 weeks, or 6 weeks and hey presto I'm back to severely over. Now hairless. I found the name of the Consultant I'd been referred

incredibly lucky
I feel so incredibly lucky after reading some of your stories. I had a HA 5 yrs ago, was told that if someone has to have a HA they would want one like yours? It was explained to me that it was on the right side and very low down?? I stayed overnight in hospital and the first time I saw a consultant

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
