AF and MAD
anyone else have AF and MAD (mitral annular disjunction) . It was picked up during cardiac MRI. The displacement is 5mm, mild mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation. Neither my cardiologist or EP have said anything about it apart from put me on another very long waiting list to see a more specialist

Anxiety following acute health issue
I've used some calming music, affirmations, and talked about it a little with my partner, who has similar
anxiety
. Is this
anxiety
following a
health
crisis common? What can help put these (not entirely irrational) fears to rest?

I cannot fit in the outside world
"Don't you study psychology?" "I started working at 18" "You're not mentally ill, just weak" "You're too mentally ill for me, go to the mental hospital" My recruiter is always like "as a psychology student". No, the fact that im a psychology student doesn't mean i can manipulate people, am an extrovert

Warning Signs Before My Cardiac Arrests
Hi -- after I posted the description of my 4 cardiac arrests, a couple people asked for more details, like what early symptoms or warnings I had. So here goes. In the year before my cardiac arrests in July of 2018 I was awoken 4 times with breathing difficulties. I simply couldn't catch my breath

I was visiting my family early in December (2023) After a few days I had a tightness/pain in my chest which went away after sitting down. All was well for the next few days and the same thing happened again. The third time it happened, my wife suggested we visit A&E. A number of tests were done and

Cardiologist or electrophysiologist?

I hadn't heard of electrophysiologists until I joined the group, but I have done some research and there are electrophysiologists in a hospital near me. I have a constant fast heartbeat and am diagnosed with bigeminy

Treatment Resistant Depression
Hi, I've got TRD. I have okay days, and then really really bad days. I'm just a hot mess that makes it through the work day with a fake smile on my face, then comes home exhausted from "pretending", and sad from loneliness. I joined here, hoping to find a friend to chat with on a regular basis.

Good News
Well I am not sure if you’d call it good news, but it is for me 13th was the FIRST birthday of my new heart so to speak lol that’s what I call it One year ago my EP found a way to save my life. I was unable to walk, and I had had a cardioversion that not only failed, but almost finished me off

Portable air purifier for outdoor exercise with allergic asthma
It is the peak of spring allergy season here, as well as other great stuff like air pollution. So I just wanted to share the results of today's testing of my wearable air purifier for asthma. I am lucky to have wooded hills out of my door, so I do not have to scare people while walking there. The device

Should one asymptomatic and isolated AF episode be medicated?
Hi Forum. At my pre op assessment (for hip surgery) last Monday the ECG showed AF. No symptoms at all, I walk my dogs +/- 4 miles daily. My BP machine shows normal resting heart rate and BP. So on strength of one ECG my GP has prescribed anticoagulant tabs which I know is for the AF risk of clotting.
