I believe the above issues are related to Metoprolol I take 25mg x 2 daily, Flecainaide 50mg 2 daily and 5mg Eliquis 2 daily. I have my follow up appt next week with my EP. I'm really

I recorded a podcast for the Kawasaki’s disease charity, Societi! :)
Hey guys! A few of you may know my story now, had a 2x CABG last year and they diagnosed about a year post op that the heart damage was caused by kawasaki disease. I thought you might want to listen to the podcast - only 14 mins long but it’s part of a series by doctors and other patients/parents (it

couldn’t fit a stent, what’s next?
Hi, in February I had a big heart attack after suffering a few in the past. I was admitted to hospital where they tried to fit another stent but couldn’t due to calcification in the LAD. I was discharged with new medication, however I’m anxious to know what’s next. Do I need bypass surgery? With

Struggling to put on weight
Hi I wonder if there is anybody struggling to put on weight in spite of having 1800-2000 calorie input a day. On this site I usually find only posts in which people complain of not being able to lose weight. I have persistent AF, heart failure and CKD stage 3a. Whenever I ask my doctor why I cannot

Wirral support group?
My dad is 6 weeks post open heart surgery and is looking to join a local support group. It looks like the BHF one has closed down on the Wirral. Are there any others in the Wirral please?

Hi guys,I already had a CT scan and angiogram and have been transferred to a different hospital for bypass surgery to follow. My question is will I need to have another CT scan or will the Cardiologist use my recent one ? Thanks in advance all

Ablation for VT
I had my first heart attack 15 years ago and had a CABG - have been fine since apart from a reduced EF and heart failure, so have been on meds with regular check ups. More recently. following another heart attack, I had a stent fitted then they put in an ICD. Frustratingly, the ICD was fitted as a

Leadless pacemakers
I live in North Carolina and I have sick sinus syndrome and afib as well as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. I just learned a few weeks ago about the newer leadless pacemakers. I understand they are becoming the standard as compared to the wired versions with leads. I had a dual chamber pacemaker implanted

CABG update
I’ve been home since Wednesday evening, so 4 full days and things are ok. I’ve been walking in the garden and slowly building up stamina but it’s taking a lot out of me at the moment. To date, I’ve planned my days (moving stuff about) so that I use the stairs once in the morning to go down and once

GP appointment postponed
My GP appointment has been postponed until 18th July, I wasn't offered an appointment with another doctor. This means I have to postpone the private endo appointment too as it required me to get a referral from my GP. I will do a full thyroid blood tests when I've been on my meds fior 6 weeks. Is there

Post Ablation Diagnosis
I have been very fortunate and had my Afib ablation in Leicester in May. I had excellent treatment with very minimal side effects from the procedure and am back doing exercise and best of all, no episodes of Afib - so all very positive even though it is very early days. My follow up appointment is in

Low Blood Pressure and Heart Rate
Hello All. Does anyone have any advice on this? My EP agreed I could come off Flecainide and just use it as PIP. However, he said I should stay on Apixaban. I had thought it was Flecainide causing the unpleasant side effects of dizziness, breathlessness and lightheadedness as well as stiff aching legs

CABG update
How cool is this ? Love the war wound! Back home last night in the rain - my loving wife drove to the Royal Brompton and home to Bedfordshire in the pouring rain last night to get me home - a train journey would have been hell! A night in my own bed, some proper sleep, a shave, haircut and shower

Recovery post heart bypass.
I know nothing about the recovery process post

bypass
, and I feel a little out of my depth. My Grandad seems to just want to stay in the bed at the moment, which is to be expected. He has walked about too, we've made sure of that.

CABG Update
On the mend - it’s funny how you seem to feel improvements exponentially each day but a few ups and downs - they’re planning to discharge me on Tuesday if the pace of recovery continues - just don’t want to rush it too much but all seems positive so far 😀

Tacycardia - how long before I go to A and E?
Well this is a new problem for me. I have AF and in the past year episodes have become much more frequent to the point where the ‘A’ word has been discussed and I am now on the waiting list for an ablation. During all the years with AF I have rarely had a problem with a fast heart beat - up to now
