So much pain. What did I do to deserve this. I'm treading water and sinking.
I've been on every med there is, hospitalized,
ECT
, TMS and ketamine. Nothing works. I do DBT with my therapist twice a week. Doesn’t work. I don't care about anything I used to. I feel like a piece of furniture. I'm in couples therapy with my wife because she's been so unhappy for so long.

Heart murmur
I went to my GP on Friday because I have menopausal and thyroid symptoms, GP said I have a heart murmur. I am booked in for bloods and ECG this week, waiting for echo date. I guess, I just want to know how worried should I be?

palpitations when exercising - 200bpm
Has anyone suffered from heart palpitations when they exercise? I am 33, I would say I am pretty fit and health and have been running for years. Over the last 6 month I have been suffering with heart palpitations on some occasions when I run. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern to when it happens, it

ECG readings using an Apple Watch
Hi everyone, I hope most of us are well a part from a few on here which are recovering :). I’ve recently noticed over the last couple of months (2-3months) a slight change in my ECGs. I have attached a reading from early hours of the morning last night when I was suddenly awoken with pain in my upper

Hypothyroid Disease, High Cortisol, Palpitations, and Angina- a pattern of longterm decline
I've had Hashimotos Thyroid Disease since 2007. I was feeling good having got myself on a hormone regime which was making me feel energised and pretty free of symptoms. With this new found optimism I set about losing weight and getting fit. Over a year I lost 8 kg and was doing daily HIT and resistance

I was on Bisoprolol 1.25mg per day since September 2022, but have recently started cutting the tablets in half and only having half a dose daily due to getting bradycardia at night and at points

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
During an unrelated operation my ECG & blood pressure raised a concern with my heart. After a Eco heart Scan I was informed I have a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy issue and now on Bisoprolol 1.25g medication. What I am trying to find out is what lifestyle changes I need to make, if any. Can I still drink

Slow irregular heartbeat?
Was diagnosed with arrhythmia last autumn, currently on edoxaban, flecanide and bisoprolol. About 20 hours ago my heart started beating irregularly, it is still slow (about 50 bpm) and seems to be missing a beat every 3/4 beats. NHS111 yesterday advised going to A&E where they did ECG and blood

New and wanting some help/advice. Long post fyi🫠
A big part of it for me is that he is usually very negative about life, yet he gets most of the good things from it(loving parents, good friends,
ect
) I grew up very opposite of that and felt like once i finally get away from my abusive mom, life would be better.

Concern over heart issues affecting the brain, thought patterns, concentration etc.
After suffering from sheer exhaustion tiredness for over a year, the hospital picked up Bigeminy during an ECG in spring last year - when reviewing chest pain after choking on food. Finally saw Cardiology for 1st time in Nov when a follow up ECG showed bigemniy and frequent VE's. Heart ultra-sound

Mitral Valve Leak
I saw a cardiology registrar today about the symptoms of my mild to moderate mitral valve leak which has only started during the last five months. He’s given me isosorbide mononitrate and arranged a 24 hour ecg. Does anyone know if this will be effective? I feel it’s just masking the symptoms. This
