A Cautionary Tale
Early the other morning I woke up feeling nauseous, lightheaded, cold, clammy and ill. I never felt that way before so I called for an ambulance to take me to the emergency room. I always remember that women present themselves differently when it comes to heart problems. Arriving to the ER my vitals

Im so fed up with the constant SVTs and PACs
Hi everyone... Had successful ablation for AFib and AF in 2016. Ok until last August when all these weird arrythmias suddenly started happening. I assumed it was AFibbut it was different, getting a week to 2 weeks of almost constant palpitations 24/7. Been to A&E 3 times, they weren't bothered. Been

Sudden increase in resting Heart Rate?
Bit puzzled by this, wondering if anyone had any clever ideas? I've tried to ring the local arrhythmia nurses but not got through yet, emailed them yesterday but no reply so far. I'm on 1x1.25mg biso and 1x50 flec twice daily which appears to have been working Ok.
Saturday I did a local park run

Initial AF advice please
Hi All Just had tests done - ECG, blood tests, chest Xray and waiting to see g.p. Wondering what I should expect to come out of consultation and do I expect referral (have work private healthcare so should be available if needed). Background is Hypothyroid on T3 Haemochromatosis (carrier only) On HRT

Another cardiologist referral
Back again. A few days ago ended up back in a n e due to my pulse jumping up just sitting. They did the usual EKG blood pressure and pile then sent me home telling me to contact my GP. I did that and I've goty third referral bk to cardiology for an ekg and holster fitting. It's just constant backwards

know it’s been asked before
Right I’m on my way home from Sheffield and already panicking about AF and Afl, I’ve decided I need a way of capturing an ecg to reassure me in the short term . I don’t want to use it all the while just at the moment as a comfort blanket. Which would people recommend please. If all goes to plan I’m hoping

Pectus Excavatum
Hi - new on here. After some advice , anyone got experience of heart problems caused by a chest wall deformity - pectus excavatum? Only recently diagnosed by MRI. Seems it’s mostly considered cosmetic but my ECG is abnormal and I’ve had palpitations for years . Everything else on MRI was normal

Newly diagnosed
Hi I am female 57 an ex smoker who uses a vape and need to lose some weight. I recently came back from a long haul holiday and went to GP as I was a bit breathless and thought I may have an embolism. They noted that my heart rate was very high and sent me to hospital. I had an ECG and they told me

Bradycardia Continuing After Reducing Bisoprolol?
Hi everyone, I have posted on the forum before about me potentially being very sensitive to Bisoprolol, after I had to half my 1.25mg dose on the advice of A&E and my GP to see if this would bring my heart rate up which was previously sitting in the low 40s and 50s the majority of the time. This means

Advice please!
Hello! I’m after some advice please in relation to an ongoing heart rate issue that’s causing me to worry! I’m a 41 year old male, not overweight and I don’t smoke. We were sat at work and all decided to check our heart rates on our watches. Mine went from 98bpm then down to 43bpm which I thought

Leaky Aortic Valve
Before Christmas I was told I had a heart murmur. Following an ECG my GP said it showed left ventricular hypertrophy. She sent me for an echocardiogram which the technologist said didn’t show LVH but a leaky aortic valve. I haven’t had the official results (not sent to my GP) and my telephone consultation
