Tried Almost Everything/Feel like Running Out of Options/Long Post
Looking for input on next steps. I’ve had pain for app 6 years but the last 3 have been worse. I have been working with a gynecological specialist who is president of the International Pain Society and she has run out of tools for me. I’ve also seen two pain management doctors and pain psychologist.

Are Blood Pressure levels relevant to the Anticoagulant decision?
That excellent communicator York cardiology has just done a video on blood pressure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7V7DssSbSE . This included the simple definitions: The Systolic blood pressure. This is when the heart is pumping and ejecting blood into the vascular system and therefore is the highest

ICD/Pacemaker
I had an ICD/Pacemaker fitted three years ago and I am still experiencing pain from around the site of the implant. I also experience a jumping of the diaphragm from it which involves seeing the technician every six months for an adjustment. The heart failure nurse had diagnosed palpitations and increased

Do I need an Ablation ?
I had a recent cardioversion which put me back into sinus rhythm for just one week. During this week I hadn't notice any significant difference in how I felt, with the exception of feeling quite lively for about half a day ( I assumed this was maybe something to do with the anaesthetic) In a recent

AFib and magnetic bracelet
hi, just throwing this out there….does anyone know if it’s safe to wear a magnetic bracelet when I have AFib condition? I am still a newbie Afibber, just diagnosed 4 weeks ago and waiting for echocardiogram. I have only had 1 bad AFib episode so far, ending up in hospital etc. But I know they can occur

Pilates and Afib
Hey All, You know mild exercise is not ruled out and indeed recommended for people with Afib and with heart disease at large. Yoga being the mostly referred as a particularly good exercise in Afib due to its regulatory effect on breath and destressing the body. I have been ablated for Afib and Tachycardia

Bisoprolol, Sotalol and Coronary Artery Disease.
I had a phone consultation with a cardiologist today and it was agreed that I would have a CT angiogram in 4-6 weeks. He considers that there is a “moderate” probability that I have coronary artery disease. In the meanwhile he wants me to switch from Sotalol to Bisoprolol. I am reluctant to do this as

Arial Fibrillation and Cardioversion

I woke up one night in 2016 with a pulse of 160 against a normal constant of 2016. Next morning a trip to the GP and I was immediately sent to A and E given medication

Afib and Covid
What I had thought a few days ago was a cold, has turned out to be Covid. Here I was, prattling on about humidity and all the while, good old ‘Rona’ was brewing. My Afib had been a bit more evident in recent weeks, but not bothersome. My Covid seems to have peaked quickly and the headache and fever have

Ectopics and flecainide
Morning everyone. I have posted here recently concerning flecainide and received some very helpful information. Since being recommended this drug for my ectopic beats (which I have tried to 'live with') by an EP, my consultant has since suggested I try it as a pill in the pocket. The recommended dosage
