Mad and sad
Yesterday we had a phone call from our holiday company. Due to travel on Saturday 9th on a luxury coach tour ending up in the Italian Dolomites Little Steam Train tour.Called to say our coach has been downgraded and we can have 350 pounds compensation. This coach is not suitable for my husbands mobility

Breathlessness update
Thanks to the advice you gave me about other reasons for breathlessness than the Pred. I saw a senior GP in the same practice yesterday. He listened and checked my chest and heart and has organised an x-ray, blood tests and ECG and heart muscle test because he thinks it might be mild Atrial Frib.

Why not give Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as Adjunctive Therapy a Try?
I am thinking this will likely be my last post, unless something dramatic shakes out. Remember LTC CHESTY PULLER'S, USMC, comment, Battle of the Chosin Resvoir, North Korea, 1950. "The bas..... are in front of us and at our rear. They are on our right flank and our left flank. They won't get

Constant anxiety since Atrial flutter diagnosis
Hi there. I was diagnosed with AFL 15 months ago after a visit to A & E when I woke up one morning with palpitations heartbeat of 140 and feeling like I was going to pass out. I had previously been told by my GP that I had an irregular heart rate but after a 48 hr monitor was advised yes it was irregular

Update on Cholesterol
Hi Everyone! Just thought I'd share a small but positive update on my previous posts. I had some tests ran earlier in the year due to family history of heart problems, My ECG, Echo and CT Angiogram/ Calcium score was all good, my only negative was some follow up bloods I got done around the same time

Weaker left ventricle function (LVEF)
Hello all. I had a routine ECG for something else and they picked up I have a weaker left ventricle function(LV EF). This is 45-50% and apparently 'normal' is 50-75%. I am a very fit 50 year old woman, I have no symptoms - feel fit as a fiddle!. I have no background history of that might be causing this

So I'm in hospital.. (first ever overnighter)
So following my last post things haven't got better (obviously). Went on a UK holiday with family for a week and had a few incidents. Crazy high heart rate, chest pains, panic attacks. Visited emergency care centre whilst away and after an ECG they suggested that I need a cardio appointment. Went to

How do you know if you are still in sinus rhythm
I had my first Cardioversion two days ago. I had three shocks to get my heart back into sinus rythmn. I thought I would feel much better but to be honest I feel just the same. I still have palpitations, still feel like I have run a marathon by the end of the day. I think I might have skipped back

Concerned Wife
Hi, hope this is OK to post. My husband has had mild RLS for many years but last weekend his symptoms suddenly became extreme and constant, seemingly out of the blue. For context, he is 30, and has taken antidepressants for many years without any increase in symptoms. He has also been taking amipiprazole

Palpitations
I have heart palpitations quite often. Lately even two panic attacks. Driving in the car, I feel my heart beating fast. Sitting in the waiting room of doctors also. Or even writing this post. Doesn't take much to set me off. The panic attacks are much worse. My heart feels like it's pounding out of my
