vagus nerve
hi all, my uncle is on the mend it’s never smooth sailing. We had issues again with abdominal pain yesterday. Ambulance came, oxygen levels fine, ecg and all other vitals fine. Someone has mentioned the vagus nerve to us being slightly damaged. Can cause abdominal pain and low heart rate. With his pacemaker

Terrified 😢 Just looking for shared experiences.
Hi. This is a bit of an essay so thank you if you take the time to read it. I’m 55 and grew up with my dad’s heart disease impacting on our family life. He had his first heart attack at 35 when I was 5. He went on to have further MI’s, bypass surgery and died at 53. Because of this I’ve always looked

ECG readings advice please?
hi, I posted earlier about being sent for a cardiac MRI and enlargement of left and right ventricle. I have received a letter stating I have some T-wave inversion in leads 3, AVF and V3 following an ECG does anyone know what this means please? Looked online and it’s gobbledygook to me. thanks Vic

30yo - Myocarditis - Weird Heart Symptoms - Looking for help!
Hi all, This is quite an essay but I would be super appreciative if anyone can help/shed some light on what I could possibly be asking my doctors to do for me on this matter as I’m very scared of day to day life right now, and I feel like I’m not really being helped as much as I could be. I’ve had

Propranalol or Bisoprolol

Asthma Medicines that don't Aggravate RLS
Hi, All. I posted earlier that I was experiencing shortness of breath and chest-tightness that--together with an EKG and various other in-office tests performed by my GP physician--suggested a heart murmur. Following the later review of the results of a thoracic ultrasound performed at a local hospital

Verapamil v bisoprolol
I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AF about 15 months ago, given 10mg of Bisoprolol together with Rivaroxaban and statins. I hate the bisoprolol, and through discussion with GP, I have reduced it, but it still gives me a 'foggy' head and, I think, has contributed to weight gain. Having recently seen an

Another twist for those of you following along
Quick history. Previous electrophysiologist had suggested flecainide + beta blocker and/or consider ablation earlier this year. Experienced lots of episodes September and October and a short episode of what was deemed possible VT end of November. Had Stress echo, positive for inducible ischemia.

The thing is this, while we were there we were helping her convert her basement into 3 separate rooms so hubby was putting up partition walls which is heavy work

Update on my previous post
I spoke with consultant and he recommends I have an ecg at my local gp and because its very hard to detect my palpitations on a holter monitor he suggested trying to monitor it on a reliable heart rate app I found the most reliable one called (Fibricheck) has anyone else used this? And was it able to
