Ways to Monitor Heart Rate During Night
I posted a question here earlier in the year as am trying to find the reasons why I awake after about 5 hours sleep every morning feeling unwell. I have had some blood tests etc since but have not really made any progress with this particular problem. I do know that I have some kind of problem with

Help to interpret ECG
I felt my heart behaving strangely and took an ECG on my Apple watch. The trace was unlike any I have seen before. After 10 mins I was back to normal and got a normal sinus ECG. Can anyone interpret the ECG for me and say what was going on? many thanks, Paul.

Here we go
Horrendous bad night caused by firstly being given fusimide at 10pm, from that moment I was going to the loo every 20 mins up until 6 am this morning. But to do this I had to walk to the toilet, about 25 feet, with mega chest pain and I mean mega and breathing difficulties and the only way I could do

NM Rubidium 82 Test
Hello everyone just an update well I had a a NM Rubidium 82 scan on the 21st July 2023. I received the results. No blockage in my arteries, however, it did show that at rest my EF was 14%at stress level 20%. I am not sure if this is at a dangerous level as in 2019 I had a EF reading of 30% to 35%.

What AF looks like on an ECG
For those told they have AF and trying to make sense of an ECG, I thought that I'd post a copy of my ECG. I have permanent AF but thankfully without symptoms so it has no effect on my life other than having to take 1.25mg of Bisoprolol and 60 mg Edoxaban every day. This is what my ECG always looks

Cardioversion Prep
I’m having my first cardioversion in 6 days time and they told me to shave my chest. They did say that they would do it if I can’t but they made such a hash of shaving tiny bits for the ECG that I’d rather do it myself. What they didn’t say though was how much or where to shave. Do I need to shave

AF and statins
Hello.I’d appreciate some advice. Four years ago I had atrial flutter. I had cardioversion and was put on blood thinners and BP meds. In the last few months it has returned as PAF. My ECG watch goes red every other day for hours or days. It can come on its own or be triggered by exercise. When exercising

Exercise makes my AF worse (part 2)
Hi all, I posted a couple of days ago mentioning how I felt worse after exercise - felt like the slightest stroll strained my heart. Well it got worse! I had a bad night. AF kicked off around 1am as usual so had the Flec PIP, fell asleep and woke up with tachycardia and cold sweats at 5am. Calmed

Atrial Fibrillation problem
I was first diagnosed with AF almost 20 years ago and am on medication since then. I am in AF all the time and on Bisoprolol 10mg and Edoxaban. In the last few weeks, I have felt my heart BPM have been faster and more erratic than usual. In the last few days it seems to have got worse, going up to 166

What do you take into hospital, to help while on the ward?
Quite a few questions come up on here about the surgery, and recovery... but this might also help those preparing to go in... or if you are stuck in after an A&E visit, what should your relatives bring in for you? VISITORS Some can be hard work, you almost feel like you need to keep the conversation

Newly diagnosed and don't know what to do.
My A Fib began with a mild, pulsating feeling in my throat and it promoted me to take a manual pulse reading. It was then that I noticed my heart skipped every 6th beat or so, then it stopped in less than a minute. My bpm was not more the 70.Since then, I have had an ECG and I was stunned when they said

Concerned.
Good morning. I'm a 39 year lady and have been having heart palpitations regularly. I've recently done a 24 hour ecg and this is what has been said. Just looking to see if I should be concerned? My grandmother (fathers side) has heart disease, it also looks like my mother has also now. My nephew passed
