I'm new
I seemed to have been diagnosed with myocarditis with reduced ejection fraction. 30% LV and 40% RV. I've had an mri and multiple ultrasound scans. I'm a never and non smoker. Non drinker and life long sportsman. Not overweight. If anything a little underweight. I'm 52 and this diagnosis has come as

Feeling really low at the minute. Sorry this is a long one but just want to write it all down.
After Nstemi in March, I went back to work in April. Was feeling pretty good apart from a burning sensation in the chest area not quite every day. I am on the gold standard meds, apparently and the GP advised that my 3 months was up to and to stop clopidogrel on 14 June. Which I did. He increased my

Echo says 3 valves have regurgitation and low probability of pulmonary hypertension
Hi all I'm new here and feeling a bit anxious as I have surgery for hiatus hernia and prolapsed stomach rapidly approaching. I was at a routine pre op appointment and the nurse said my blood pressure was really high and I had to monitor it for a week, I was really shocked as I'd always been told I had

Confusion
Good morning all. I am a busy, working single mum. I've experienced severe breathlessness for the past 6 weeks and a racing heart (90+ bpm rest rate). Echo shows lv impairment and an ejection fraction of 45%. MRI has been booked. I've been put on ramipril and bisoprolol but absolutely wrecked. I'm in

Phlegmy chest and snotty nose - B12 reversing symptoms??
Hi all, I recently completed my 6 loading doses and am 4 weeks away from my 12 week top up. I am glad to say that most of the B12D issues have subsided if not disappeared (these were lethargy, numbness in thumb and forefinger and occasional twitches in right eyelid -not serious by other B12D suffers

Everything taste awful - like vinegar!
I was prescribed 6 drugs in March following a silent heart attack. They were the usual - Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Ramipril, Atovastatin, Bisoprolol, and Lansoprazole. Five weeks ago food and drink began to taste awful - sour or vinegarish. I can't bear to eat any dairy, fruit or meat. I can eat vegetables

Ramipril cough
GP has changed my BP medication as was suffering from the cough. How long does it take for cough to disappear. Probably not suffered as much as some more if I take a deep breath then tickles and have to cough.

Changes in medication a year after TAVI?
Next month sees the first anniversary of my TAVI, since when I've been on Ramipril, Clopidogrel and Omeprazole (and Simvastatin). Has anyone had a reduction in their meds after a year, and, if so, why? The review would be with my surgeon, who was insistent that I didn't need Omeprazole (but didn't

Newly diagnosed
Hi, I'm a 46 year old man who's prediabetic and just been told that my blood pressure is too high. I've just completed a week of home blood pressure tests and have an average of 144/90. The doctors have put me on a dose of 2.5 mg of Ramipril. I'm worried about any side affects that may arise. Can anyone

Odd feeling in chest
Good morning I’m looking for some advice please. I have Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Only symptom was prolonged palpitations. Had them all my life. I’m now 55. I had an ablation November 2023, so far that has helped massively with the palpitations. I get daily ectopics but they don’t affect me at all. They

Advice, please!
Over the past four months I’ve had a very painful knee. I have a doctor’s appointment next week. I suspect it is osteoarthritis (I’m 68). I’m also aware that other joints, particularly my shoulders, are also aching, especially when I get up in the mornings. I am taking 60 mg Lixiana, 1.25 mg Bisoprolol

Raised Blood Pressure on Nifidipine
was previously on ramipril in order to medicate as stage 1 hypertensive and needed protection as had Thoraic Ascending Aneurysm. My BP on this averages around 120/80. The TAA was repaired last year with OHS. In order to counteract oesophageal issues I now take Nifidipine which is a calcium channel blocker

Low Blood pressure concern
Hi I have been lurking here for a bit since my cardiac arrests in February. I'm recovering really well, but for the last few days, my blood pressure has been low for long periods of time ( a few hours) making me very light-headed. Typically my blood pressure is low in the morning (about 90/65) and then
