NT-proBNP test shows over 1800 (2,255) Does it indicate heart failure?
Latest info: When I saw my doctor, having experienced some worry about this test, he was immediately aware that the high BNP level was directly attributable to my permanent AF. He explained that he had only asked for the test to establish a 'base level' for my proBNP reading and despite the relatively

Blood tests
Hi I have just switched over from antiplatelet Clopidogrel to anticoagulant EDOXABAN following detection of AF on a LINQ ECG implant. My GP has asked me to get a blood test and is suggesting tests every 3 months. I thought a benefit of the drug was no need for blood tests. Anyone got experience to

Hypertensive Urgency/Emergency Blood Pressure >180/120
In the UK we are advised by NHS 111 or our GP to head to the A&E department if our blood pressure spikes greater than 180/120 and there are one or more additional symptoms. This happened to me twice in the past 6 months (never happened before this in 20 years). The first time it hit around 250/120 and

Hi there. Nice to meet you. Don't be anxious. It doesn't hurt. And it will go away.
Good evening. My name is Michael and I just joined looking for a place to find support for those struggling with anxiety and depression. Some of my first anxiety attacks were on my Birthright Israel trip in late May of 2011. I knew I was depressed since about the second half of 2008, having my first

Is flecainide a good drug?
I have been very low profile of late because I had nearly two years free of AF - then it came back last Wednesday with a vengeance and refused to go away... This resulted in a trip to the doctor's and then A&E on Thursday because the rate was quite high, blipping up to 150+ bpm. To cut a long story

Living With A-Fib Questions
Hi All, I was diagnosed with A-Fib only a few weeks ago so everything is still very new and a bit bewildering. I think I was first aware that something wasn't right around 3 months ago when I noticed I got much more out of breath walking up a hill then I would normally be. A couple of days later I noticed

Just Diagnosed With Atrial Fibrillation
A couple of months ago I noticed I was getting out of breath when walking, not badly so but needing to breath more than the activity would normally warrant. Then a few weeks ago I noticed that with the breathlessness my chest also felt tight, although it actually felt like it was more around the diaphragm

Kardia ECG Monitor
Thanks to the person who recommended this, but I just need to let you all know that, after struggling for some time to make it work, I found it was not compatible with my Samsung phone, so I have had to send it back. So I would advise that anyone thinking of buying one should check compatibility first

Reaction to ecg lead stickers from CPET yesterday
Yesterday I had a CPET , in preparation for having the heart monitor leads attached they used a very coarse wipe to clean the areas where the stickers go to enable the best connection , it was like having sandpaper rubbed on my skin . Anyway my skin felt a bit sore where I had the stickers placed and

diagnosed with myocarditis 7 weeks ago
Hi all and thank you in advance for reading. I am a healthy 34 year old woman and was admitted to hospital 7 weeks ago with severe chest, jaw, back and arm pain. Very scary! My troponin levels were 208 so they kept me in for 3 days. All other tests - ECG, echo and CT all clear. I refused an MRI due

Random Tachycardia
Hi Hearties! I had 4 MIs in 2018 at the age of 38. My LAD was stented (99% blockage), I was given a boatload of meds, and sent on my way. In the years that followed, I have had countless trips back to the A&E, with the primary symptom being tachycardia, dizziness/light-headedness, and occasionally chest

19 struggling with ectopics
Hi all, I just wanted to come on here for a bit of advice or just to share what I’ve been struggling with recently, I’ve struggled with ectopic beats for over a year now, and they have been manageable as they have predominantly been quite spread out or predictable, and the only bad episodes happening

Tachycardia
Rather a long post I’m afraid. In 2000 I was 44 and developed unstable angina over 4 months. My husband had BUPA with his work so I saw a cardiologist quickly, put on aspirin, Bisoprolol and GTN. The cardiologist was always unsure whether it was a blockage to my LAD or a spasm and I was due to undergo
