Can anyone give me some info please?
I have been waiting for a heart monitor since February, and when I enquired about it, apparently the GP had forgotten to ask about it. I now have an appointment to get one on 22nd August. I was feeling that I was going to faint, so she cut my atenolol from 50mg to 25 mg, which has helped, but heart still

Cyclist and Runner Exercising with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation - also considering an ablation
Hi – I originally posted the following (or at least a similar version) through the BHF link but didn’t get many replies. I would really like to hear from anyone who is a keen cyclist and/or runner who has developed persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and either decided to live with it rather than try

LBBB Update
I posted as a new member a couple of months ago about my diagnosis of Left Bundle Branch Block. My Cardiologist insists there is an underlying problem to cause this so to date I’ve had an EKG which shows no real problems, just a small leak and slight enlargement of ventricle, nothing to be concerned

Ablation update and some good news re our NHS
Thought I would give an update on my ablation and subsequent treatment. As already posted, on 5th July I had a long awaited ablation in effect this was a second ablation in a period of about 7 years. This time it was s cryo ablation so just isolated the pulmonary veins. After an initially good 2 weeks

Just don't know what to do next....
I was feeling so well on 62mcg levo and 15mcg T3 since June. But in the last few days my heartbeat became irregular (like missing a beat) quite frequently and especially at night of when I'm sitting. At first I thought perhaps I was over-medicated - recent results were TSH 0.03 (0.27-4.2) T3 5.81 (3.1
