Compression socks for travel
Hello, wondering if anyone has a good experience with compression socks for long haul travel? I do experience some feet swelling these days during the day which usually goes away with elevation for a brief period of time. I have flights coming up in the 7 to 14 hour range so am thinking that apart

Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common rhythm disturbance of the heart which may cause rapid irregular palpitations, chest pain, breathlessness or fatigue. Sometimes it is hardly noticed by the patient. In such cases it is often picked up by routine examination of the pulse listening to the heart or recording

Question about support stockings
Hello. It's been a while with posting. I have been wearing support stockings since last November after arriving home from the hospital, for almost 10 months now, they have always been a struggle, and it's a bit tough to wear shorts with these knee-high's, I usually wear long pants outside to hide them

What is post ablation normal heart rate
I had my ablation last week for a fib which I have been told was a success. I have felt very dizzy with occasional ectopics since but bp has been ok and heart rate between 72 and 78. Then today everything has changed. Lots of ectopics and resting heart rate between 95 and 98. Should I be worried?

high blood pressure
I’ve been in hospital all day today. Woke at 6am with racing heart and ectopics. Took my blood pressure and it was 196/95. I felt really scared and rang 111 and they told me to go into A&E within the hour, so we did. I was diagnosed with severe hypertension and after loads of tests, ECG’s etc, I was

My recovery from my pulse field ablation April 15.
I am basically very pleased with the outcome. I no longer need to take Flecainide which bothered my gut with excessive (noisy, embarrassing) wind. I am 82 with other comorbidities: secondary adrenal insufficiency and scoliotic restrictive lung disease requiring O2, 24/7. Dr. Reddy, my surgeon at Mount

76 years old with A F
Hi all. I was diagnosed with AF on the 18 July as I had trouble breathing, so I went to see my GP. I’ve always led a active life so I was surprised to hear about AF. With in three days I had an ECG in the morning. That afternoon I was to see another GP. GP then made appointments for blood tests and echo

Cholesterol readings
Hello medically-minded people Tryimg to decide whether to take statins or not. This is my latest cholesterol test readings.

Help please!
My step son and granddaughter are visiting at the moment . She is 14, very curious and tech savvy. She asked what I did when I went into afib and I said I had a natty piece of tech that does an instant ECG and tells you your heat rate. She wanted to try it out . We could not get it to work . It kept

permanent afib
My husband is in permanent AF, he has seen a doctor who didn’t seem worried , but told him to have an ECG. Unfortunately their ECG machine isn’t working and he has now been waiting four weeks for one. Should he be worried, he seems ok in himself. Every one here is so supportive I would like to hear

Atrial Fibrilation & Exercise
Hello! I just wanted to share my story here. I'm in my mid-40s and have had paroxysmal Atrial Fibrilation since early 30s. When I get AF, it never goes away on it's own. The only thing I know which gets it back to sinus rhythm is strenuous exercise. Either a run, jog, or brisk hillwalking- something

Hi again Many of you will remember my post about 3 weeks ago when I was in fast AF and felt dreadful and I really appreciated all of your help and support.

Lorazepam and Afib
I there a link between Lorazepam and atrial fibrillation? I used a 1 mg pill to sleep in the night and both times, after 5 or 6 hours, around 6am, I awoke in fibrillation . My usual dangerous time is the early hours of the morning, but Afib comes probably once a month . Is it possible that to

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) vs Heart Attack
It is easy to feel overwhelmed with the amount of ‘medical language’ being used when discussing a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). A sudden cardiac arrest and a heart attack are both emergency situations - you need to dial 999 in UK or 911 in US immediately. Please download our leaflet Sudden Cardiac

Cardiac Cath this Friday
I last updated about my new dx of POTS. Since I seem to be a “difficult” case, my cardiologist wants to do a heart cath this Friday. I have not had any chest pain but the shortness of breath is adversely affecting daily. I have had all the pulmonary tests, CT’s and functional tests. I have the lungs
