appointment update
Well left for my appointment with a HR of 111. ECG hospital HR 174, BP 167/132.- full blown AF. Deposited in chair and wheeled to the consultant. My husband offered to push as the poor nurse wasn’t strong enough ( I only weigh 67kg ). If the resource was available I would have been kept in hospital

None of my family message me.
I deleted Facebook around a year ago, and after that I have felt very isolated. During that period of time there has been a lot of introspection and I have noticed that I never receive messages from family members. It is always me sending messages. And then they often stop responding even if I am

Aortic Valve Replacement Monitoring
I had a surgical aortic valve replacement (tissue valve) in June and I have been lucky enough to have an uneventful recovery. I opted for private surgery because long waits and lack of communication from the NHS was causing me such stress and anxiety and recently retired I had savings I could use.

what is right?
Having had chest pains and breathlessness for a number of years and told it was asthma, despite pumps not working, and originally being told it was angina GTN spray did nothing. Also being told through the years that ECG showed something but still no diagnosis, trips back and forth to A&E. Then four

Treatment Resistant Depressant
I have had depression since my 20’s and likely in teens. I’m now 56 and my meds are no longer working like they once did. I’m going to be meeting with a clinic about other options ie: ECT etc. I’m very scared and anxious as this feels next level to me in my illness. Have you tried ECT and/or Esketamine

anxious about CAD - MRI result
Hi all, Does anyone know if a cardiac MRI would pick up coronary heart disease , or at least see some part of the arteries? I’m awaiting a CT scan with dye to look into CAD, but my consultant thinks it’s unlikely as I’m 32 , I am overweight and an ex-smoker so I do have some risk factors. My cardiac

Introducing myself
Hi, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd share a brief summary of how I ended up here. It's hard to say exactly when my symptoms started but in 2019, when I was 62, I found myself so persistently lacking in energy that I decided I should mention it to a doctor. The first doctor I saw did some blood

Do GP’s or Consultants in the UK accept Kardia readings?
Debating on ordering a kardia device to capture a fluttering palpitation feeling rather than waiting another 7 months for an ecg.I wondered if in the UK our GPs or consultants accept the readings…

Omron PM monitor detecting irregular heartbeat and Afib
I've recently discovered the I have grade 1 hypertension and I am waiting a few months to see if lifestyle changes helps lower it. I bought myself an Omron M7 Intelli IT bp monitor and it regularly detects that I have an irregular heart beat. I decided to try the Afib mode and it detected that I may
