Experiences with

Heart block

My daughter was diagnosed with heart block when she was a year old. I've found it really hard that so little information is available about heart block in children, and there is no specific group for affected families in the UK.

I recently wore a heart monitor for one week and they detected an episode of complete heart block lasting a few seconds. I believe I was sitting down while it occured and did not feel faint or have any other symptoms. I think I may have coughed for no reason when it occured.

I have pauses of around 77seconds And my heart rate drops to around 35 bpm when I sleep relax. A normal daytime around 50 70 . I have a loop device in and they don't seem worried but everytime I feel dizzy and check my heart rate to see it low I panic. I know they wouldn't leave me if it was dangerous

ECG was performed in GP surgery straight away and the doctor said it was heart block . He has since spoke to the cardiologist at the hospital suggested stopping all tablets , supplements, BP tablets reduced to min dosage. Blood tests for thyroid next week.

I had a few weeks ago ECG which showed that I have 1st degree heart block. Also, last year I was diagnosed with mild heart disease. My question is shall I make an appointment with cardiologist because of the heart block?

Hello, I’m 30 and have recently been told I have a first degree heart block. A holter has seen my heart rate drop to 30. I’m worried as I don’t feel the doctors are taking it seriously enough and are being really dismissive. I’m very active but now I’m scared to run at all.

Hi has anyone else just being diagnosed this, I'm finding it hard to sleep due to palpitations and shortness of breath, not sure if it's anxiety or the condition.

Hope everyone is well this morning! How much more can one body take? Three years ago I wa diagnosed with MBC. I was always healthy. Guess 69 was not a good age for me. I now have 7 fractured vertebrae, my doctor has taken me off Ibrance due to low WBC, now I go to my GP for swollen ankles and find

Hi, I have recently been told I am borderline First Degree Atrial Ventricular Heart Block as I have borderline dilated left atrium. My Doctor wasn't interested when I went for my results and basically said they wont do anything about it or do any regular checks unless it gets any worse .

Two years ago my husband had a total heart block and was hastily fitted with a pacemaker. Since then we have discovered he has Atrial Fibrillation 1.9%of the time and so takes Edoxaban. Nurse at surgery yesterday sat for ages clutching his pulse before finally telling him he wasn’t in AF then.

hi everyone, I was told recently that my Apple Watch ECG had picked up a few ectopic beats, I hadn’t really noticed them . this week however they have kicked off big time and I’m wondering if this is common in Afib , and how do we know the difference between a pause or a missed beat . I have anxiety

hi everyone, I had an SVT ablation last Friday. It was meant to be straightforward and solve my SVTs but the consultant said that everytime they tried to induce tachycardia during EPS my heart would go into Afib. They tried three times and then ablated the most obvious part without knowing if it would

Morning everyone. Just wondered if anyone could help me with this. I take 75mg Flecainide twice a day plus Apixaban and Bisoprolol and am going to be travelling to Miami in March. Obviously the time difference will throw my tablet taking right out. I travel for 10 hours but basically am in the day/morning

I was diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation four year ago and since I stopped drinking alcohol completely over a year ago I fortunately have had no episodes. my heart rate varies between 67 and occasionally 79 . I was called by the doctor to give bloods (first time in four years) kidneys are

Is it normal to experience constant lower back pain due to Bisprolol? i have asked to swap back to Propranolol which i used to take with any problems . I am also finding it doesn't lower my Heart rate much as it is constantly around 74-85 BPM unless in AFib which it goes even higher. if it's not

I found another rabbit hole. I'm talking about the HRV section at the bottom of Page 1 of a Wellue ECG Report. That's the section with SDNN, RMSSD, SDANN, and so forth. I found a website that discusses these things, and tries to sell a service. https://welltory.com/rmssd-and-other-hrv-measurements

Hi all, thank you for letting me join. Diagnosed with intermittent AF in January 23. Felt it was getting more frequent so saw consultant. It was originally with high heart rate but now getting missed beats and slow heart rate (40 s) too. Consultant thinks could be sick sinus and I’ve just had a 72 hour

I wonder if anyone has an advice on the subject of changing time zone and taking meds. We are off on a holiday to Japan and I’m getting stressed about how we adjust my hubby’s medication. He keeps telling me not to worry and he will do it but I’m the ‘detail’ one and planner in our partnership and I
