Chest 'pain' and anxiety - it's back and I hate it!
Hello crew, and hope those that watched the Crowning business enjoyed the ceremony today. Since about 6pm last night (after a day sitting quietly at my desk at home) I've noticed a return of what I've called the 'biting' in my left chest - a little nagging 'pain' that branches to my left armpit and

I’m back with this heart fear crap… I hate it
My life just feels like endless torture sometimes with the symptoms I get, like I’m a 21 male I’m overweight but have no other heart risk factors. Was up AE again after a 3 month time out. Everything fine after a 9 hour wait, trops were 4 and ECG perfect. Just high HR and BP usually from my anxiety.

I really didn’t think I’d be back here again. After my first MI in August 2019, I really thought that the medication I was on would prevent a repeat of this. However, 3 ½ years on, it’s happened again. Seems that I’m in the small minority (less than 2%) for whom the standard medication doesn’t prevent

Waiting for Holter test for 8 months for abnormal ECG
Hi,In my 40s I had a heart scan that showed a PFO but was reassured it was an incidental finding. I'm 56 now and after having palpatations last summer ( 22) I had an ECG that showed abnormal repolarization. My GP referred me for a Holter monitor test and I'm still waiting 8 months later ! I've contacted

Just diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation
Hi I was diagnosed with A-fib a couple of weeks ago via an ECG trace on my Kardia mobile. I am now on Apixaban 5mgs twice daily and Atenelol and have been advised that an ablation is the best way forward. I only have had 3 episodes to my knowledge and so it paroxysmal but makes me feel pretty unwell

I started experiencing palpitations last year and didn’t worry too much. They seemed to start after I had the Covid jab followed by Covid itself. I went to my GP several weeks ago about the palpitations. As I was taking a low dose antidepressant ( Citalopram) with a PPI, my GP arranged an ECG. In the

Cardiologists reports required
What reports am I actually “entitled” to have access to (NHS Scotland)? I’m not under the direct care of a designated Cardiologist, only general Medical review at local hospital (and GP). A 24hr ecg suggested Atrial Fibrillation and flutters. As a result an EP study / Catheter Ablation discussed

After going through my medical history and asked about what I do for a living he's told me that as my ECG

Nausea
Hi again, I’ve tried looking up the answer to this but no joy (I’m probably looking in the wrong place). Since my episode of severe chest/back pains and sickness last week and a trip to A&E, I’ve been feeling queasy after food. I’m not eating big meals it passes after a few minutes but I’m scared to

Cardio performance abrupt decline
Currently on Orgovyx for the last 18 months with very little side effects due to wrestling, lifting weights and hiking. Then suddenly four days ago, only a block from the beginning of my daily 2.5 mile hike my energy unexpectedly ran out. I pushed forward another block assuming I could shake off whatever
