Bad test news - questions to ask doctor
I knew my husband had AF following an EKG prior to surgery in 2012. He was a college athlete and only health issues have been hip and knee replacements. They tried to shock him out of AF but it was unsuccessful. He was put on Xarelto 20 mg. He has always been asymptomatic and I was naive since he

A cautionary Flecainide tale
Brief history, I had two ablations in 2019, the second one being in Sept. I'm currently 56 and like exercise. Since 2019 I stopped competing and training for triathlon and knocked everything back loads. Around Oct 21 I noticed arrhythmias, looking back on my notes it mostly seemed to start with atrial

Mitral valve replacement - waiting for operation, the wait time and the do's and dont's advice please
Hi all, I had an ECG on 17th July which showed severe leaking of my Mitral valve. I had an angiogram on the 28th July which showed no blockages in my arteries. I have a meeting with my cardiologist on 15th August. To date my GP or the cardio team have not given me any advice on what I should be doing

Intrigued by the access correspondents have to doctors.
I have read the NICE outlines for RA. They are indeed nice. However they have no statutory meaning. I am surviving reasonably well on medication but have little meaningful understanding about how I shall decline. My access to medical professionals seems as slender as for everyone else. An appointment

Slow and irregular heart rate with T3
I have taken NHS prescribed T3 only since 2012, three doses: 20 mcg 7am 10 mcg 3pm , 20 mcg 10 pm. 65 bpm is my normal resting rate. In the past I have had an occasional fall in bpm to mid 50's but found upping T3 dose for few days and changing to new packet (not short date) and my heart rate returned

Update
I had to call 111 at 12:30 this morning, I've got a stabbing pain from my left hand side jaw all the way to my shoulder. It was so painful I was in tears I couldn't sleep. 111 said they'll get someone to call me back, well around 6:30 (about 10 minutes after I'd finally fallen asleep) they called as

Pills Can Cause More Problems
Here's my story: I've had AF for 18 years and have certainly suffered over that time. After 3 ablations and still having arrhythmia which included the following info copied from ECG July 2022 :

Life Insurance- ILR/Heart Block
Hello, I know this question has been asked often on the forum, however the search function isn’t currently working for me so I thought I’d ask again! I am really struggling to get Life Insurance, I am 29 and because I have a Loop Recorder no one wants to cover me! I was told I have Heart Block

Constant arrythmias but tests have given no real answers 🤷♀️
Wondering if there is anyone else with a similar profile to me going through something similar...I'm a 34 year old female, fit (used to train muay thai 2 hrs a day) and have a super clean and balanced diet. Been having some wild ectopics last few months and it now lasts all day every day, but most particularly

had to call a ambulance
hi everyone, I felt very unwell on Saturday with new chest pain in my left hand side of my chest and found it difficult to breathe. I usually get it in the middle of my chest. My partner called an ambulance and I went into hospital. After ECG and blood tests they didn’t think it was a heart attack.

B12 and ECG
Has anyone ever had a B12 injection while hooked up to a full 12-lead (or whatever) ECG machine? Did it cause any detectable changes that seems directly due to the B12?

Ablation next Wednesday
Hi, Apologies, I’m dreadful at remembering terminology .. I’ve had racing and irregular heart beat intermittently for a decade of more. I have a resting heart rate of 50 and low blood pressure. My afib tends to be aggressive and I usually end up in hospital. ( rate of 240 not unusual) Last time had
