Mouth Pain
I haven't been diagnosed yet , I have an appointment with a new Rheumatologist in week mine retired. I had blisters and horrible pain in my mouth ( started 3 years ago ) we had the blisters biopsied and came back as Lupus so we assumed all the pain in my mouth was lupus. No more blisters but the pain

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?

My daily BHF email listed several user posts, including 2 from people concerned about how their catching a certain virus might affect them, given their heart conditions. Those posts 'removed' by BHF. It seems odd to me that 2.5 years into this certain virus, it is still considered a tab oo subject

QRISK2 cardiovascular disease 10 year risk score
I’ve just had my annual round of blood tests and apart from one result which came up as abnormal (and has done for the past 25 years), all the other results which I received online appeared OK. I was a little surprised when I received a text asking me to make a non-urgent face to face appointment to

Long time no chat 😄
Well it’s been a while since I posted and what a journey I’ve been on. I try to keep it brief. I year ago I was told I’m steroid dependent. I carry and emergency injection kit of cortisone. I hope I never have to use it. I had a follow up cardiology appointment on January 4th this year. I was told I

Off pump method
How can I find out if the surgeon used the off pump method during my
bypass
. From what I understand the
heart
isn’t stopped

Any suggestions for an (online) support group?
Hi, my partner recently had bypass surgery and we are looking for an online support group. Would you have any suggestions? We are in based in London, so any groups here that meet in person would also work. Thank you!

Scary Open Heart Surgery with difficult decisions
So 6 weeks ago ago I had what seemed like a low level flue. After 2 weeks of not improving I went to the GP, and after some investigation he realised that my heart murmer had got worse, so combined with my other symptoms, he arranged for me to go straight to Basingstoke Hospital for a Treponin blood

Numb feet.
I had heart surgery two years ago and the surgeon made a right mess of things. I've discovered that I was bleeding heavily throughout my operation, presumably because my artery wasn't clamped off properly. It resulted in me having a stroke which paralysed an arm and a leg. After two months in hospital

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

FINALLY
I am so thankful to those of you who wrote about the blanking period. I had never heard of that although I did realize that they would not consider my procedure of failure until three months and it could take 6 to 12 months to really have things kick in right. FINALLY I almost feel like me again. Of

bisoprolol 1.25mg can cause serious problems in the elderly
my 91 year old grandmother who has atrial fibrillation, hypothyroidism and pernicious anaemia suffered a TIA mini stroke three years ago and was put on bisoprolol 1.25mg for heart rate control. The last three she has been in a zombie confused state, shortness of breath, headaches, dizziness and muscle

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

Are My Arteries Getting Worse?
Anyone diagnosed with atherosclerosis/
heart
disease, who has had a
heart
attack, stroke, a
bypass
or a stent, or indeed anyone who has had any kind of heart problem due to plaque in their arteries, will surely have asked themselves this question.

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!
