Update from A&E visit
Aw just looked on here and seen all the lovely messages from you all thanks so much really appreciate it 🥰. Well I got to A&E at about 9. 15 and it was a 3 hour wait 😳 was sooo busy. So I finally get called and they do a history of health problems which was a very long list which they weren't expecting

Sudden drop in heart rate?
Three weeks ago I wrote a post titled 'Glitch or cause for concern?'Out of curiosity I bought a chest strap heart rate monitor (as many people were saying they are more accurate) with ecg capabilities, and last Thursday the same thing occurred. I actually saw my watch registering 32bpm for several minutes

Kardia Accuracy
Hi Have been in persistent AF before cardioversion in August22 and enjoyed a lovely 9mths of NSR till it kicked in again (back on the waiting list..) In checking my heart rate regularly using a Kardia Mobile I became suspicious of the 'calculated' BPM declared on the app and started manually checking

Update on my palliative care
I was taken ill last week. Unable to keep anything down which prevented my oral pain relief being effective. I rang the palliative nurses who told me to call my GP. My GP was very attentive and came to see me very quickly (Wednesday). He changed my meds and told me to try the new routine for a few days

Seriously fed up
Was doing really well until my blip 2 weeks ago (felt dizzy and BP dropped to 80/60 at end of rehab). Since then I've felt rotten. Lots of dizziness and chest discomfort. Even ended up with 111 calling an ambulance and an overnight stay in hospital getting checked out. ECG fine, BP ok but very slightly

Ectopics one after the other
Hi there, I hope it's ok to join? I've posted on here before on the British Heart Foundation but I wondered if anyone here could also help me. Very brief history, I am female, aged 47 and perimenopausal (on HRT). I started having palpitations, ectopic beats around 2 years ago and had a suspected SVT

Update on update GP visit re: Tachycardia
Went to my GP three weeks ago because my heart rate was above 100 while resting usually 115 bpm or less but above 100. He prescribed Bisoprolol 1.25mg once a day and I've been taking it ever since. Had a follow up appointment at my GP today and when he took my heart rate it was 100. So he's increased

Normal
a silly question I expect but nobody talks to me. I recently had a stress MRI ( with the chemical injected) which showed that my EF had improved from 30 to 50 with. ‘Good’ function. I got the letter from the cardiologist telling me this. Then I was called for an ECG as there were some concerns about
