Syncope is a symptom not a condition
Do you and your GP appreciate that Syncope is a symptom not a condition? Every patient who experiences a blackout should be given a 12-lead ECG to check heart rhythm analysis and look for arrhythmias and genetic, inherited or familial heart rhythm disorders. STARS website, www.stars.org.uk

Strong negative reaction to first Docetaxel treatment
I am participating in an NIH study combining Docetaxel with an immunotherapy. I had my first treatment of only Docetaxel this Tuesday. I lasted 2 minutes and 7cc before I had a severe reaction - severe flushing (glowing red from head to toe), difficulty breathing, sweating, uncontrollable shivering.

ecg monitor - electrical interference
hello I had my 7 day ecg monitor put on yesterday! Been having fluttering and flip / flop sensations. Not hopeful will show up as can be intermittent. Usually happen at rest. But I remembered this morning a paramedic previously taking my ecg at home saying to turn off the electric riser recliner chair

GP refered me to Hospital ECG , echo, 7 day monitor and eventual letter from consultant which was hard to understand but confirmed iregula heart beat and put me on beta blockers .

AF changing its face
I posted recently about my paroxysmal AF (since 2020) normally lasting up to 3 days, this time now entering its 8th day. Went to GP yesterday, all the usual tests, ECG, nothing abnormal except irregular heartbeat. The conclusion being probable it has done its time on paroxysmal and is trying out persistent

sudden sharp pain
can anyone relate to a sudden sharp body pain that goes as quickly as it comes? I was vacuuming earlier & had a really sharp pain under my left breast/top of stomach. It scared me thinking it’s my heart but I had cardio tests, ecg, heart scan & 48 hour monitor test last November & everything was good

New to all this
76 years old, no heart problems as far as I knew, just had one of my better games of golf for a couple of years and started to get an ache in my chest in the evening. So phoned the Healthline (I live in NZ) and they had a 30 minute wait, so tried the ambulance service, who operate a triage service.

Wenckebach phenomenon
I have had two heart surgeries in the past and was getting skipped heart beats for a while. After my 24 hour ECG they found something called wenckebach phenomenon. Anyone have any idea what this is and is it normal for someone with a heart condition

occasional AF
My husband has recently had several bouts of AF lasting just a few minutes each. Heart rate only slightly raised. He is 72, pretty fit and not overweight. Had an ECG at the doctors which didn't detect AF. GP just said to leave it but call an ambulance if happens again and he is breathless. Is this how

3 years post successful PVI RF Ablation
Had my three year check up, ECG, Holter monitor, PM diagnostic, echo and full bloods.All good. No AFIB since ablation. BP good. PM has many years left. Only meds 15mg zarelto and 40mg micardis. Still have not got back to as much energy as I would like, maybe just getting old.

Do I have heart failure or heart disease?
This is my first post. Back in 2019 I had what felt like "flutterings" and breathlessness/dizziness. I was diagnosed with arrhythmia. A 24 hour ecg showed ventricular ectopic beats. An echocardiogram showed mild valve leakages but no obvious cardiomyopathy. I was advised to stop/reduce my caffeine

ECG same 9 months post TAVI as 6 months before?
On Tuesday I had to be taken to Casualty. I was there for only three hours, during which I had an ECG, blood tests and a detailed discussion with a doctor. Her many findings have just appeared on my GP Patient Record, and I've spent half-an-hour deciphering all the medical abbreviations. I was a little
