My progress
Last weekend was 9 months since my AVR & CABG. I also had 2xPCI three weeks before that. This week I’ve been back to my local Cardiac Unit for a progress check. I’d had blood tests a month ago with my GP and they were fine. So the result is I’ve been told that they will book an echo for me in two years

About a week after that iv been having heart palpitations every single day and extreme tiredness and slight chest discomfort. Iv had it before but last times was because I was pregnant

Fast heart rate and high blood pressure at rest
Hiya Just had an 8 day stint in the Acu at colchester hospital.My heartbeat was going up to around 120 and blood pressure was 180/110 for no apparent reason. I was diagnosed with microvascular angina last year and take diltiazem 60 twice a day for that... it happened 3 times in hospital so they doubled

propranolol to diltiazem?
Hi there I hope it’s ok for me to post here, I don’t have AF but have been having lots of palpitations and PVCs for a few years. I’ve been on Propranolol 80mg slow release for a couple of years and that’s been ok. However recently my ectopics have intensified and dr switched me to 40mg propranolol 3

Is this a genuine VT on my Wellue, or not? Thanks
I’ve just started using a Wellue, and it’s brilliant to be able to take a continuous 1 lead ecg (other than downloading and charging time) and the information it gives, with AI analysis. I’ve got a question from those who can read ecgs - my AI analysis says I had some PVCs and then a Ventricular Tachycardia

AFIB... prescribed APIX & BISO
Hello, I purchased an apple watch a couple of weeks ago and got an Atrial Fib alert with an average HR of 105. SO at that point I decided to visit my DR which sent me to get an ECG test done which confirmed the results from the alert. My Dr prescribed me 5mg of APIX twice a day and 5mg of BISO once

Wellue ECG - review
Does anyone else have a Wellue ECG heart monitor (single lead Holter)? Any conclusions? I happened to find them advertised for £150 a couple of months back and took the plunge, as I have a lot of ectopics etc etc. My thoughts: Pros: - Allows you to trap events at your own convenience, a good alternative

My Kardia has arrived.
Good morning - if you are in a similar time zone!My Kardia arrived yesterday morning so of course I took many readings to try it out. I also tried it on my husband to see if it was working properly and it appears to be fine. My own readings however are all over the shop, so I wondered if other people

Kardia Mobile
A recent ECG and scan found persistent AF with a dilated Aorta. I had an ablation 12 years ago. Is a Kardia Mobile worth buying to keep a regular check on my condition?
