update on the ecg I posted 2 weeks ago!
so was at cardiologist today for my 3 month post ablation follow up for AF. He’s thinking there is a good chance the AF has gone. I showed him the ecg traces from my Apple Watch which some of you had suggested bigeminy PVCs and that’s exactly what they are. He has me on a 24 hour monitor just now to

The Constitution of Medical Knowledge (Part 1 of 3)
Patients are often confused by seemingly conflicting findings of studies, or equally good doctors recommending different treatment plans. How are we to decide? Medical science is a process created by a “reality-based community” to help decide such questions. Science isn’t just hypothesis-testing with

Does anybody here take Isosorbide Mononitrate 60 mg twice a day ?
Had a 3 X CABG 7 years ago, I’m now a 64 years old, male. Everything since then has been fine, until recently, as I've now started to get angina attacks in the early mornings whilst asleep, and if I exert myself (like walking to the shops). I had to go to A&E when using my GTN spray did not work on

Sternum wires - going through airport security with metal!
Hello, I have sternum wires following open heart surgery a year ago, & am flying abroad soon, would I need a GP letter for the process of going through airport security with the metal in my chest? Thank you for any advice!

Overmedicated with suppressed TSH - but low T4/T3 results and on T4/T3 medication
Unfortunately I've become the latest victim to a GP and an Endocrinologist beholden to the TSH test. I've been on 100mcg Levothyroxine (from NHS GP) and 25mcg Tiromel (sourced privately) for a good 6 months now and I've been doing my own private blood tests to check levels along with taking note of

Indigestion after Heart Attack
I had my heart attack last year. One stent. Now experiencing right chest pain sometimes in the evening. I often think I am having another heart attack but after going to casualty I realise it is indigestion. I have never suffered with this prior to the heart attack. The pain is bad. It can be difficult

Can you feel your heart post CABG
Hi all I’ve been for a stress test today on the treadmill and the same happened as it did the other day when I tried to go for my first hill walk on the local hills by us. I started off fine but as the gradient increased my heart rate obviously increased but the rate wasn’t massive around 110 the problem

Angiogram-who is to blame?
I was due to have an angiogram last Thursday but because I hadn't paused Apixaban for 3 days before I couldn't have it. The consultant who was to have conducted the procedure met me and simply said "these things happen" but we then had one of the most disagreeable consultations I have ever had afterwards

AVR and bisoprolol and other meds.
I was wondering if anyone has had a aortic valve replacement or open heart surgery and put on bisoprolol or other beta blockers while on an anxiety medication? I had surgery 1 year ago and I am still bedridden and was on beta blockers for 11 months and taken off abruptly and now I'm in a withdrawal.

Symptoms a year after CABG, 20 months after Heart Attack.
I would be interested in the experiences of others relating to the aftermath of CABG surgery. Potted history: From around summer 2017 when aged 60, I started to feel a mild tingling and "tight" sensation sometimes under my left ribs, sometimes in my back around the same height. It continued on and

Worries about having a stroke
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I’m a 51 year old female and I had mitral and aortic valves replaced last year so am on warfarin for life. I have real anxiety about having a stroke after having a TIA after having the Astrazenica vaccine. I need to have surgery on both of my knees, probably partial

Before seeing an electrophysiologist
I’ve got an appointment beginning of august to see an electrophysiologist for broad complex tachycardia, SVT, PAF. this is all after muscle damage from heart attack. The letter says I’ll have 2 hours of tests before seeing any doctor. Anyone any ideas what these tests might be? Besides the obvious ECG
