I've been getting prep fainting spells every day and breathlessness. I received a letter today saying I have right bundle

GCA now TIA, irregular heartbeat
Early August I was diagnosed with a ‘left front ischaemic stroke secondary to new atrial fibrillation…heartbeat irregularly irregular’. It was quite scary as I lost language and ability to order numbers for a short time. Hot foot to A & E, cue ECG, bloods, MRI. Cholesterol 8.0. Prescribed Edoxaban,

Potential AF? Bisoprolol for management?
Hi everyone, I’m mainly looking for advice, tips, anyone who has experienced something similar and how they now go about managing it. I started having episodes of heart palpitations at the back end of 2020, where my heart rate would randomly spike to over 150bpm when resting, as it only happened a

Post Op Clinic today
I just wanted to update folks on my progress. I've been to Papworth this afternoon for clinic, my surgery was 9 1/2 weeks ago. Whilst it was a bit of a production line process they did an ECG, Chest X-Ray and checked my Stats. Since I've been home , about 2 hours after leaving clinic, I've been asked

Breathlessness when walking up slight gradients/stairs
Further to my previous post about breathlessness, I finally had an audience with the Pope, masquerading as my GP (my he's aged a lot since the last time I saw him - mind you, haven't we all. My goal was to get a Acth test arranged, as I'm convinced my problem is adrenal related and I'm concerned about

2 week Holter moniter
does anyone know how a two-week ECG monitor is different to a 24 hour monitor - in terms of the different wearable device? I have previously had a 24-hour ECG, but I have just seen someone during my echocardiogram and they mentioned that a two week monitor is a different device.

ECG interpretation
Hi all, I recently bought the Getwellue ECG 24h device and I'm starting to use it. How would you interpret the circled area of the ecg picture which I recorded during sleep? Is it just an isolated faster heart rhythm and then going back to 50 beats/min, which is my resting rate? The device software is

Wierd ekg at first 5 seconds
Apologize if this is an un educated question. But the first 5 Or 6 seconds The EKG looks like It's very irregular or salt tooth looking. But then when my pulse Kicks in, it goes normal. Does anyone else get this?

cardioversion within 3 weeks of ablation?
Despite playing by the book and doing everything I could, I’ve been back in persistent AFib for 4 days since my ablation two and a half weeks ago. The arrhythmia team had me in for an ECT today and are arranging an appointment for a cardioversion possibly this Saturday. Just wondering if anyone else

CT Scan Results
Hello again. Just had my CT scan results back and amazingly it says I do not have angina! The results show no coronary plaque identified, but minor aortic valve calcification noted. It also noted my lungs appear fine, but they do note slightly patulous oesophagus - what does this mean? So this is

How to cope when appointments are so delayed.
I have SLE and am under cardiology for investigation due to tachycardia. My Rheumatologists think it may be PoTS. The cardiologists have done loads of tests but are yet to give a diagnosis. Unfortunately the cardiology waiting lists are huge (took 50 weeks on the urgent lists to even be seen after

Minoca heart attack
Hi there, I am new to this world but would be grateful for some insight to help my mum. A week ago mum was admitted to hospital for what they are saying is Minoca. ECG and troponin levels showed this, and subsequent angiogram 4 days later showed no obstructions etc. Dr cardiologist discharged mum saying

a story about NHS blindness to T3
this story is almost incredible but sadly believable. I’ve been dividing my afternoon T3 into two doses and got confused. I ended up taking an extra 5mcg by mistake. My heart rate shot up, I panicked and went to A&E in case it got worse. They were brilliant. Blood test, ECG, cup of tea.

Curious to hear from anyone using an Apple Watch ECG app to monitor afib. On mine I can get a reading saying afib and then immediately measure again and get sinus. I recently started taking Dofetilide, so maybe the medication is helping to resolve afib episodes. Any thoughts on how accurate Apple Watch
