Since returning to work part time, I’ve been experiencing increase in heart palpitations and every few minutes my heart skips a beat/delay in beat. GP carried out an ecg, report says Prolonged QT and non-specific

new medication worries
Just had my cardiac mri scan, but previously a 48hr ecg monitor which showed a marked increase in my ectopics. Cardiologist had just prescribed Diltiazem, 60mg slow release 3 times a day. I’m so nervous about starting these, just wondered how others have managed on them.

Ablation outcome
So I haven't been on for a while or updated on the outcome of my ablation that I had at the end of August. I stayed in and out of NSR for about 2 weeks before settling in to a symptomless permanent AFib. The only problem was I felt breathless on climbing hills or running. A 24 hour ECG showed my average

question about hypothermia?
a couple weeks back, I visited my Kaiser infusion lab …. Lupron implant and Zometa pain train infusion. While there the intake nurse was alarmed with my 95.2 body temp. It’s been running between 95.2 and 95.7 lately. She told me to go to the E.R. , immediately, if it dropped to 95 or less. They were

Ongoing breathlessness and exhaustion
I am really hoping someone may have experienced the same symptoms as me and managed to get a diagnosis. Upper right lobectomy in June last year. Initially did very well and was approaching a good level of fitness. Since October/November I have experienced increasing breathlessness, absolute exhaustion

Can you help with this Kardia ECG strip please? Kardia say it is sinus rhythm but I’m not so sure
Reported by Kardia as sinus rhythm. I wonder if it is slow atrial flutter or heart block. I have had permanent atrial fibrillation for years after ultimately unsuccessful ablations. I only take an anticoagulant but last night I was batting along at 112 per minute during a tense online chess game so

Going in For Second Ablation
Hi folks! I had my first ablation over four years ago, at Texas Cardiac Arrythmia with Dr. Andrea Natale. I wasn't able to come off my medication after, but the meds then worked to control my afib and numerous PVCs where it didn't pre-ablation. During these four years I had been taking 50 mg of Flecainide

Ectopics and steroid cream
I’m 6 weeks post Cardioversion of Atrial Flutter . I’m getting ectopics most of the day it started to happen the night I took my wife to dinner. Had a zero beer and 1 zero wine but I guess both full of sugar. So far had them for 3 days the doctor gave me ECG to confirm not AF. Only things doing differently

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about aching arm. This had been the first sign of the heart attack I had in 2020. You all sent me advice to get it checked . Knowing the problems in NHS I was reluctant to add to the queue but I went yesterday. Luckily they were not overrun at 11 in the morning and I

Hello All, It's me again. I apologise for posting so regularly in the last few weeks. It's been an eventful week 😕 I was admitted to the hospital on Saturday night. I had chest pain, left arm pain and a very high heart rate. I panicked and called an ambulance. I was told it could be a 40 minutes
