Post cryoablation
I had my ablation on Friday 16th Dec 2022.Everything went fine but I was on the operating table for about 5 hours. I have a narrowing in my oesophagus so access was difficult. Anyway I had bad chest pains on the Monday night so went to A&E where I had blood tests which found I had a rising Cardiac Troponin

Buzzing!!
This time last year, I was still recovering from a double
heart
bypass
after having had a completely unexpected
heart
attack in Dec 20. And now I'm running and, more importantly, enjoying it! I did have a small emotional moment at the end of the first 8 min run, thinking about how far I've come.

struggling with neck pain :( help pls!
I first was diagnosed with fibromyalgia back in 2020 when I started having aches and pains in neck shoulders feeling tired all the time, funny heads as I used to call them, memory issues, stressed all the time and really deflated about everything. I could never relax and always overthink everything.

It’s gone a bit pear shaped
I posted the other day about having a stress echo, I knew it hadn’t gone well after all it lead to an angina attack. I’ve been having mild chest pains ever since my quadruple CABG last June which I thought would improve but it hasn’t. My surgeon called me today to tell me it looks like there is a problem

useful video from ‘my hero’ on atrial fibrillation and the different treatment methods used and when (including surgery)
an interview with steven hunter, cardio thoracic surgeon . I am now 8 months post surgery and still in NSR, hoping to follow in the shoes of the other once persistent mr Hunter patients on here who have been afib free for a long time. I wanted to share for those in persistent who don’t want to manage

Making Progress
Just over 3 and a half months ago, I had bypass surgery. It was unexpected having no symptoms and it being found whilst volunteering for a medical trial. At the time, I thought life would be over and that everything would need to change. And it did for a bit. I found myself unable to do things, things

New Here — Most Recent Arrhythmia
Hi, all — I initially posted this to the Afib Forum but just found this group, which seems more appropriate. I was experiencing episodes of tachycardia sometimes lasting up to a half hour or so. Being a non-cardiologist, my first thought was Afib and, indeed, that’s what my Apple Watch said. I ended

Dofitilide without Afib??

My name is Tabitha and this is my story
I was diagnosed with
heart
disease at age 32. and had a quadruple
bypass
in 2015 I was diagnosed with vascular disease in 2012, and have had 3 stints placed in my abdominal artery. In 2018, I was diagnosed with lupus. Then stage 3 renal cell carcinoma in 2022.

Long term medication effects
I had a quadruple
heart
bypass
in December last year, so I'm now almost six months post-op. As does everybody who goes through this situation, I have been put on medication, as prescribed by my cardiologist.

Apprehensive
I have had Furosemide added to my prescription due to fluid retention in my feet and ankles, due to mild heart failure associated to persistent AF. There are loads of side effects associated with it. GP says we have to monitor kidney function closely as I am stage 3CKD. Just wondered if anyone on here

AF and now coronary artery disease at 47. I recently had a CT angiogram and the results aren’t great. Back to being scared and worried.
So I first came on this forum with my Afib diagnosis and was terrified and depressed about the diagnosis and medications. I had good news from my echocardiogram as I had no damage at all. The last hurdle was a CT angiogram sadly I’ve not made it so well past this hurdle. I’m absolutely gutted to be honest

Don’t run before you can walk.
Most of you know my story but for those who don’t,
heart
attack, quad
bypass
,
heart
attack in June this year. I’ve been doing ok since but that’s where the problem starts just because you think your doing ok doesn’t mean it’s time to do loads.

Apixaban skin reaction?
I’m having the most awful burning, itchy, inflamed skin on my face that’s come on suddenly over the past couple of days. Im wondering if it’s related to the Apixaban that I’m on. Has anyone else had such a reaction? I have tried an otc antihistamine to no avail so if anyone knows a remedy I’d love

Any help on a 10 year old please?
Hi, my 10 year old granddaughter had open heart surgery in September to repair 2 holes in her heart . She has come through it just fine - thank you GOSH - no issues at all really, all she wanted to do was cartwheel, she can...so she's well on her way to recovery. ....However since surgery we've noted

New way to trigger an episode apparently
So I've been successful in remaining episode free since I had that short VT episode a bit over 2 weeks ago now. Last night I was using a deep tissue massager, and I pressed somewhat harder on a sore spot near bottom left back, I clearly felt my heart bump into AF. I then had AF (and not super fast
