When to take bisoprolol ?
Hi , My husband is on 7.5 in the morning and I’ve reduced him to 5 in the evening as he has been so tired all the time . They only upped it by 2.5 when I rang heart function nurse when his ecg on his watch was creeping up to 130 . He was on digoxin before which seemed to keep his ecg around 89/90 but

Persistent AF, Diltiazem, side effects or Menopause??
I apologise in advance for what will be quite a lengthy post.... :( I was diagnosed with persistent a year ago Oct 22, but likely I had it unknowingly for about 2 years prior and put breathlessness and tiredness to work/being unfit. I am 57. During that 12 months I was on Bisoprolol for 9 months and

It all started with a purple toe!
I've had high cholesterol for more than twenty years and although I've been prescribed statins, have never continued taking them until recently when I developed a purple toe. The doctor was concerned it was an embolism and I was sent for several tests and to see a consultant. It appears from an ECG

Technology question
We went away for the weekend . I was aware of tachycardia in the night ( only lasted few minutes) I always try to capture any palpitations if I can. This was the wee small hours so all electrical equipment was switched off . A tv , two phones and chargers, several lamps. I was about 22 feet away from

An Important thing to know if considering Estrogen Therapy.
What that means is, I’m allowed to stay on it while on Lupron/firmagon
ect
. IMO this is a paradigm shift in the cancer world suggesting that estrogen ADT as a SOC option may be reintroduced in the future. But in the meantime, they are atleast willing to respect it as a safe side effect solution.

Worried
Been having chest pain, shoulders pain and left arm pain. Also I have 5 blackout episodes yesterday . 3 of them I fell and bang my head. Went to A&E. They did ecg . Told I will have to wait 8 hours to be see by doctor. They didn't even do bloods. So left and went home . Didn't offer me any painkillers

Diagnosis at last! Haemochromotosis?

Ha! Having said I had not had a recurrance of my fast AF since the first time in 207, I was visiting Norfolk to do some minor jobs between tenants on my daughter's house, when I started having a rapid fluctuating heartbeat whilst resting before going out to dinner! Got to the restaurant and other half

Recently had an echocardiogram, the results of which showed an EF of 35%. My ECG was normal, my BP which I check several times a day is consistently within normal parameters and as a result of the echo the cardiac consultant now wants an MRI but wants my Primary Care Physician to start me on Beta blockers

Sod's Law. Due for colonoscopy this morning, so spent the last 3 days on a white diet, no alcohol, yesterday went through the Moviprep routine to empty bowels, spent all evening on and off toilet, most unpleasant. Got up at 2am this morning for toilet, and guess what, of course, AF suddenly kicked in

unsightly collateral veins in pelvis/pubic area.
I’ve already went through 12 surgeries with my interventional radiologist of clot retrievals, angioplasties
ect
…. But each time he has attempted to put stents in my veins- it was unsuccessful because my veins are so occluded.

LINQ ECG implant - what follow up have people had.
Hi everyone with or similar LINQ ECG implant fitted. My LINQ device was fitted in February of this year. In May I received a telephone call from the cardiology team, who I have not met, that an Afib event was detected and a medication change to EDOXABAN was prescribed. I have not had any further

ZERO stamina 3 years after AVR
I had a calcified bicuspid aortic valve replaced about 3 years ago. (11/03/2020) The doctors said I would feel much better and have increased stamina after the surgery, but that never happened. In fact, it was just the opposite. And yesterday confirmed my worst fears; I went to the county Fair and
