A sobering experience- and an update to an earlier post
I have had a rather nasty experience this week. It’s linked to an earlier post regarding changing inhalers and becoming so breathless I found it difficult to move from one room to another. Fast forward to Tuesday when I had a second ecg at my doctors. The nurse took my ecg to a doctor (that happened

Sudden dizzy spells , brain zaps , dropping sensations
Hi, For nearly 3 years I have been having problems with these random (seemingly unprovoked) dizzy spells, dropping sensations and or brain zaps . I mention these three things because sometimes it feels like I have been jolted with electricity, with no warning it just comes out of nowhere . Sometimes

Calcium scoring CT scan .. family related history
Hi all, New to the forum. I’m sure everyone here would rather not be, but from what I’ve read so far, it’s a great resource of reassurance, understanding and support, from the collective and varied experiences that everyone has had. So this is my story so far. I’m an above average fitness, healthy 54

MTC/Thyroid
Hi all, 5 years after thyroidectomy due to MTC I'm having the most awful episodes with racing heart, chest tightness, tingling in extremities, dizziness, nausea and a sort of giddy feeling. Had ECG and heart was fine, BP also good. GP thought it was anxiety and prescribed Xanax for the short term. I

Palpitations
I have hypothyroidism and am taking 75mg thyroxine. When I lie down and in bed I get palpitations, it wakes me up where my heart is beating fast, sometimes I get it when I eat and it catches me out during the day. I also get very bad indigestion but don’t know if I have low or high acid. I would be grateful

Massage and PAF
Hi All I am wondering if you are able to comment on massage for PAF sufferers. Since being put on Edoxaban 2 months ago I am frightened to have a back massage which I used to have every 3 weeks or so to help tight neck and shoulders. I use bisopropol and flecanaide as PIPs and can go 3-6 weeks sometimes

Post Cardioversion Issues
Thank you to all those who helped and advised over weekend - saw consultant tonight - ecg shows some delayed heart actions/extra beats but not AF thankfully but we’re keeping meds the same at moment and maybe a new ambulatory BP check as if stop Flecainide could go back in to AF, reducing or stopping

Digoxin added to Bisoprolol
Have been taking 3.75 msg bisoprolol for past 3 months with excellent results of hr of 61/63 and it was being considered whether to reduce slightly because of side effects. Suddenly my heart rate increased to 120 over a couple of days. ECG showed tachicardia but blood pressure excellent, full blood count
