Can anyone tell me what I should expect from this? I’m feeling quite shocked, I had chest pain and palpitations and extreme

Atrial Fibrillation. Help.
Hi all. Feeling a bit abandoned at the moment. So many questions and not sure where to turn. A key one I’d like to know is should a patient in the UK with newly diagnosed AF with no known cause be referred to a cardiologist? I am finding I have no one person dealing with this and looking at the overall

Breathlessness... feels constant
I'm starting to feel constantly out of breath. I've had my heart checked, I do have asthma however the inhalers don't seem to help and both cardiologist and asthma nurse are adamant this isn't from my breathing.. I can only assume at this point that my anxiety is once again taking a hold on me. My issue

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

Long QT anyone?
Hello folks, Anyone here familiar with Prolonged QT? Around 2016/17 I was informed by my doctor that I was showing signs of Prolonged QT and it was believed this was due to the antidepressants I was taking at the time so I came off them. My QT went back down after I finished getting the drug out

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
