Statin Chest Pain
after an angiogram last September which showed clear the cardiologist instructed me to come off pre-cautionary nitrates and I was told to stay on 40mg Atorvastatin and commence Diltiazem 2 x 60mg per day as well as one Aspirin 75mg. Although not tested cardiologist thinks I have Microvascular angina

Arm ache
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

A Hospital admission and another failed attempt at a CT Angiogram 😥
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

Exhausted but happy.
I spent seven hours at the lung transplant clinic at Harefield yesterday. I was weighed and measured many times, sometimes with boots (dockers!) on sometimes off, ECG, echocardiogram, chest xray, blood tests, blood pressure test, lung function test, urine test, and finally mrsa test! Everone

Here We Go Again.
I will try and keep this short. Some of you will remember my endless delays for a follow up cancer op. Well I got that op in December 22. I was sent for by consultant who apologised for the delays and said I had to go on BCG which is -Immunotherapy drugs encourage the body's immune system to

In Praise of the NHS
I've been suffering from indigestion for a few weeks, I was diagnosed with angina 10 years ago and had a HA resulting in 2 stents being fitted 19 months ago.......as you can guess the indigestion feeling sent alarm bells ringing, when I had my HA I thought it was indigestion. I phoned our surgery

Kardio Mobile ECG
Does anyone have experience of using this device and app to detect AF and has it proved useful? I am thinking of purchasing this but would like to know what other folk think of it. Only recently diagnosed and finding it very worrisome. Any advice would be appreciated.

Junctional Rhythm
I have had Paroxysmal Afib since 2017, and take Warfarin and Bisoprolol ( now been 5mgs twice daily for a year ). No other drugs. I have been having a lot of unclassified results on my Kardia lately. A few is normal and I always thought it was interference or similar, or me not being still enough. However

Breakthrough episode (Update)
My EP only put me on a miniscule dosage of sotalol as I was doing it out of hospital and couldn't be directly monitored (40mg twice a day). I feel 1000 times better, no kidding, since starting the sotalol even at this low dose. No more daily PVCs, no more extreme fatigue. After checking my QTC to

Living with presumed myocarditis which turned out to be MI
Sorry for this long post. I couldn't think how to make it shorter. I've found it hugely helpful to read the posts on this forum so I thought I'd reach out to seek some support and wisdom. My husband was fit and active (we enjoyed leisure cycling 15-20 miles, walking, gardening etc) until Oct '21. A

worry over echo results
I am a 58 year old woman with a 3 generational history of dilated cardiomyopathy, including mother who had a heart transplant at 50 and am also a carrier of Becker muscular dystrophy, which carries an increased risk of DCM. I have an ECG and Echo every 3 years and when the results of the last echo came

TSH in normal range but...
Had some blood tests late December as a follow up from an ECG (no problems). In the little time I had with the GP I raised concerns about thyroid function (sister and brother both diagnosed hypo decades ago). I mentioned a number of symptoms. TSH (the only thyroid test done) came back at 3.1, no action
