How difficult is it to diagnose Adenomyosis?
Hello, I hope you are all well and surviving the heatwave! Long story, but for 6+ years I have been experiencing worsening gynaecological pain. This started during ovulation and was a fullness within the pelvis and sharp pains within the rectum and to the lower right of my back/abdomen. Gynae referred

medicine just dropped, no doctor consult
it’s a year since bypass surgery and my repeat prescription has Ticagrelor missing. I talked a receptionist (can’t get even a doctors consult phone call until 9 August!) Has anyone else had the same … receptionist told me that Ticagrelor was only to taken for 12 months but you would have thought a doc

open heart surgery
Hi guys Just wondered if anyone has had surgery for either replacing or repairing a mitral valve and atrium valve? How were you after surgery and how long until you felt fairly ‘normal’ Thanks in advance.

Anticoagulants and PPIs
Hi everyone, I have just had an annual medication review over the phone with a pharmacist. I am taking Apixaban 5mg twice daily together with low dose Flecainide (50mg x 2 daily) and Bisoprolol (2.5mg daily). The latter to offset any possible side effects from Flecainide!! I have been in sinus rhythm

I had my pre assessment yesterday and I was really impressed with the level of detailed information I got from the arrhythmia nurse . He spent an hour going through the whole procedure including drawing the heart on paper and explaining mapping and controlling coagulation over the possibly 3 hours of

Numbness around chest area
I had a
heart
bypass
back in October and since my scar has healed I tend to find either side of it goes numb to the touch around the chest area, is this normal?

After Heart Surgery
I am 65 years old and had minimal invasive aortic valve replacement in April 21. They went in through the right side of my chest and the op was a success. I am having an ongoing problem of water retention which I am now finding quite worrying. The GP has given me Furosemide water tablets 20mg to take

Ablation advice
My EP has booked me in for an ablation within next six weeks (Sept 13) but didn’t explain why I need it. It took my cardiologist a year to consider arrhythmia and a further year for an EP to investigate it via loop monitor. I’ve been told it’s a rhythm and rate issue, it’s PAF, it’s ectopics, it’s

can I still do it
I completed couch to 5 k after recovering from a heart operation 6 years ago. I have since been diagnosed with arrhythmia and suffered a knee injury. I will be 70 in a months time. Can I regain my fitness and get back to jogging, or should I call it a day.

Heart Surgery, Lisinopril and symptoms
Hi all, I am waiting on heart surgery after being diagnosed with severely leaking aortic valve back in Dec 2021. I have an enlarged heart as a result but my ejection fraction was 64% at the time of the MRI (Feb 2022). My main symptoms are visible neck pulsations that I can also feel in my groin

moderate mitral regurgitation
my echo said I had moderate mitral regurgitation. I have been short of breath and fatigued. My EP has me on Flecainide for A Fib but read you shouldn’t take it if your heart is not structural sound. Does moderate mitral regurgitation qualify as not having a structural sound heart. Tried to look it up

Help needed interpreting ECG.
The following ECG was taken today prior to a planned angiogram following chest pains (which didn't take place owing to an issue with sedation). It apparently shows left bundle branch block, left axial deviation and inverted T waves. Does anyone know what the significance of these three is? Or how
