Morning everyone, I don’t want to sound rude, but before everyone jumps on and asks what my tests results have been lately I am waiting for a copy of them as they do not show on my hospital app. i am just posting to see if anyone has ever experienced anything similar as I am becoming extremely annoyed

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

Statins and blood pressure meds
Just had an ecg at doctors that apparently needs to be repeated along with a referral for a heart scan. I have had statins prescribed the last two years or so and have never been keen to take them considering the advice on this forum. Doctor insistent that I start them again along with blood pressure

ecg tips
Are there any tutorials on how to read an ecg? Apple Watch doesn’t check for heart attacks but what does it check for besides atrial fibrillation? I’d love to know what all the squiggles mean! Thanks

Well, here I am
Hello everyone! So I find myself here after 55 years of walking about with an ASD totally unaware of it. It turns out the heart murmur mentioned in a routine medical in my twenties wasn’t quite so innocent. I had a day of feeling tired, then persistent palpitations that were stopping me sleeping. When

An interesting thought
I have had Afib paroxysmal on and off for 10 years. I now take 2.5 mg Bisoprolol each morning and have since had no Afib attacks or wobbles. However, my Apple watch always says I have Afib, and any time I have an ECG it says I have Afib. Yet I appear fit as a flea, can do manual jobs and work, etc

Help with feelings of despair/panic
I get physical symptoms too such as heart pounding, feeling sick, needing the loo
ect
. It's just awful, an awful awful feeling. I should mention (I hope this is not to much information) but my period came yesterday morning, do you think hormones could be adding to my emotional troubles right now?

Hospital update
hi all Had my first hospital assessment this afternoon but the Registrar said I wasn’t typical of Angina symptoms. ECG was ok but she’s sending me for an echocardiogram and ct scan to be sure. She did wonder if I had a lung problem due to being an ex smoker (only for 2 months) and having had radiotherapy

Well I made it to sunny France (actually very hot an humid) and have just managed to get my heart ultrasound results emailed through. To quote cardiologist’s report I have « very mild aortic and tricuspid regurgitation » and « Interatrial septum is aneurysmal that is bulging into right atrium, although

ECG Flappy gaps?
Hi awesome people, This is an ECG taken on my iWatch on waking this morning - still laying flat in bed. I’m currently in yet [i]another[/i] Amiodarone-suppressed episode of PAF. Currently approx 36 hours. At least the Amio is keeping the heart rate lower, but I seem to be getting more episodes

NT-proBNP test shows over 1800 (2,255) Does it indicate heart failure?
Latest info: When I saw my doctor, having experienced some worry about this test, he was immediately aware that the high BNP level was directly attributable to my permanent AF.
