Coping with working full time with PMR
I've read many helpful suggestions on this site on how to manage a heavy workload and PMR. I have a demanding job with a lot of responsibility. I have sought to balance my symptoms (heavy, heavy harness, brain fog, fatigue and reduced confidence) with work for the past few months, with varying degrees

My mum is going to have ICD box - please share experiences :)
Hi, Until a few weeks ago, my mum didn’t (knowingly) have any heart problems but her resting heart rate went to 174 on her Fitbit and wouldn’t go down so she went to hospital. They had to give her a shock to get her heart rate down. They did an angiogram and realised she had 3 clogged arteries

Atrial Fibrillation and Bradycardia What CLL Treatment might I get
Hi. I am just wondering if anyone has had any treatment whilst having Atrial Fibrillation and Bradycardia. I have AF and B which I believe I may have had for all my life (69) certainly for a long time. I think I may be heading toward treatment as my bloods aren't very good although I am due a repeat

Hi, I survived an SCA ans am looking to better support my heart health
Hey guys, At the end of the day, I’m a middle aged lady working to improve my heart health before more time and heart function slips away, making the climb back up that much steeper. What’s given my heart health journey more dimension is that I was born with a ventricular septal defect that closed

Had telephone consultation this morning.
I had my three monthly telephone consultation this morning. As usual I worried myself silly yesterday and until the call came this morning. More so because of the ongoing worry about the possible AFIB and the medication I had been taking for the last six weeks. So the call came, my wonderful consultant

Is there an anti arrhythmia drug which doesn't have a side effect of nausea?
Me again. I've stopped taking amiodorane for over 72 hours and most of the nausea has gone. However, the afib symptoms have come back. I am dizzy, breathless and can feel a heart flutter some of the time. I had a phone call this morning with a date for a cardioversion but when I said that I

do inactive ingredients such as magnesium in my Lexapro decrease synthroid absorption?
do I need to separate Lexapro at least four apart from synthroid due to inactive ingredients such magnesium, aluminum, titanium. Is that why my thyroid want stabilize because I am taking to close together?

burning pain constant bad deep
it’s period weak and my gosh the pain has taken me out not only my full abdomen and my back but tingling and numb legs vomiting and just overall fatigue. The pain feels like a hot blade is being stabbed into my abdomen and is really VERY deep. I’ve had such a stressful week which isn’t making it better

an Caffeine Trigger Near Syncope?
I quit drinking caffeinated coffee several months ago. My cardiologist told me I should avoid stimulants, as they can be AFib triggers, However, I have since seen studies concluding one or two cups of coffee per day should not trigger AFIb. So, as I was thinking about going back to my morning two-shot

Tummy Bug.
I recently had a tummy bug. I have a fib, and the effect on my heart was frightening. The straining with being sick caused a v bad pain in the centre left of my chest,where I imagine my heart and lung to be. Also it felt like a football was being kicked around in my chest. My heart rate was up in

Ectopic Beats and AF
Joys!!! After having weird chest sensations that make me feel dizzy and nauseous dr has decided I have ectopic beats. This may be while I’ve felt funny recently. I couldn’t decided if it was anxiety or my heart. Other than the AF my heart is structurally sound (for now) so any advice about ectopics

Would you be interested in participating in a research study on behalf of the NHS Foundation Trust? The CRAVE-SR study will focus on individuals with a diagnosis of persistent AF, who have previously undergone or are planned to undergo DC cardioversion. This may also include patients who have also

TENS machine not working
hey everyone! I’ve been using a TENS machine for a while now, mainly on my lower back as it gets really painful. Today, it’s not working as well on my right side (which is worse for pain). The machine isn’t broken, I’ve changed the batteries, new pads etc. I had it on level 20 and I could only feel

atrial flutter and hot weather
I put a similar post on general BHF site but wondered if people with pre existing arythmia experienced anything similar in hot weather. Background is Aneurysm in ascending aorta and congenital bicuspid valve found incidentally in sept last year. Had 12 days early Oct last year with heart beat at 75
