Long-term health of bypass grafts.
Hi, Feel slightly fraudulent as I’m fit and healthy, after a bypass in 2016, but I’m just curious for any insights / opinions re one niggling question. I do fairly intense cardio every other day (mostly) and my BMI’s at the top end of normal. For my age - 61 - I’m fairly fit. My question is: do those

Bisoprolol/flecanide/amytriptiline
Looking for some advice. I've been on varying doses of Bisoprolol for 2 years now, hate the stuff, feel lethargic and foggy headed and seem unable to lose weight, despite the fact I keep the dose as low as I can. The arrhythmia nurse did try changing it to verapamil and that led to the only AF episode

Ablation appointment take two …..
Deep breath and all fingers crossed, I’ve been given provisional appointment for cryoablation end of this month. They need to use an internal echocardiogram on me (ICE) due to previous heart surgery and clot risk. There is only one such thing in the locality which is why they had to cancel todays appointment

Mild aortic stenosis...is this normal?
A heart mumur was picked up when I was at the a&e back in June. Had an echocardiogram done September. Finally after trying to chase the a&e cardiologist who checked the echocardiogram he said my results were all normal. So I requested my results to check for myself as I feel rotten daily and it's says

Apixaban (Eliquis) and Omega 3 supplements
Hey All!! Question...Are others who take Apixaban (Eliquis) also taking Omega 3 supplements (that include DHA)? I've read that it could be problematic...increase length of time for bleeding, etc. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Nebivolol problems
I'm struggling with trying to balance blood pressure and heart rate.I take 1.25 Nebivolol once a day but am finding it lowers my BP too much which is making me feel dizzy and light headed.Have tried stopping it for a day but then get tachycardia and AF. Anyone else had this problem?

Low blood pressure
I was diagnosed with AF in October ( now permanent but controlled)and heart failure in December(EF 32). I am now on Bisoprolol 2.5mg, Edoxaban60mg, Entresto24mg twice daily,and new one Spironolactone25g. My problem is that my already low BP plummets every time a new drug is introduced or an increase

AF for 4 days
I had my first episode of AF several years ago. I had another cope of episodes over a three or four year period. In January this year 2023 I was started on Apixaban but changed to Edoxaban a week ago because my blood pressure was low and I thought it was the reason for feeling tired. 4 days ago
