Is this angina?
Hi all, I was diagnosed with afib 3 years ago and have mentioned to several medics (cardiologists, arrhythmia nurses) that I occasionally had slight heart aches when exercising or stressed, but none of them seem concerned. Afib does not seem to be related to heart pain - so I'm not sure whether the

heart
bypass

CoQ10 dosage and when to take ?
I have CLL and my hematologist approved CoQ10. CoQ10 is recommended in Mayo litererature, for those with no counter-indications. But I lack good information about how many mg CoQ10 that I could ingest daily, and when to take the cap or caps . Thus, I would appreciate guidance. Also suggestions

1 month out from RF ablation for asymptomatic afib
Hi. I was diagnosed with afib in late 2019 at age 66 and put on an anti-coag and sotalol. I was in and out of afib quite regularly but rarely symptomatic. Three cardioversions failed to restore normal sinus rhythm (NSR) for any real length of time, so ablations were suggested (I live in the US.) Since

Edoxaban causing breathlessness?
Does anyone else get this issue? I was put on this medication in August. Came off Apixaban for same issue. I get it late morning then teatime. It is getting less severe as I recover from a long series of chest infections. I have been diagnosed as having ‘flutter’ which can bring on AF. I await an ablation

8 days post ablation
What a week?! I had an RF ablation at the start of last week but felt, what I thought, was excessive pain in my chest (particularly when lying on my back) 2/3 days after but just stuck with it thinking it was a standard recovery symptom for RF as I’d only had cryo done before. However on Thursday night

Safe INR level for Ablation?
I am one week from my first cyro ablation and my blood INR is 1.2. Most recommend a value between 2.0 and 3.0. What are folks' knowledge and experience in this area? Might I be canceled as, according to these numbers from today's tests, the Pradaxa hasn't thinned my blood much. Are these the cases where

Anxiety over NHS heart attack radio adverts
Is anyone else’s health anxiety getting worse after these NHS heart attack early warning adverts? I feel like how they describe all the time! And lately I’ve been getting all those symptoms every few hours, every day - hard beats, chest pain/tightness, left sided jaw, shoulder, neck, arm ache. The works

Hello health unlocked friends! It's been a while since I posted here. I wanted to give an update.

Chest Pain, fear of heart attack.
Hi, I’m 20 year old man. I’ve suffered with anxiety a while but like don’t want to blow this off to it but it could be. So I had this sudden crushing chest pain 2 days ago, went into instant panic attack. Sat down with my mum and could talk and walk around but was fearing I was having a heart attack.

Due to have heart bypass on Wednesday. I usually wear crop tops but have been told to wear front fastening bras. Won’t it rub on scar?
Would appreciate any female related advice.

Bypass needed
After 9 years of having my heart attack and two stents fitted I’ve found out through chest pains and a small
heart
attack I’ve got to have a
bypass
as my stents have scar tissue and have narrowed. Anyone on here had a bypass and what was it like as I’m quite apprehensive

Are my symptoms consistent with B12 deficiency especially burning sensation.
Hi Hoping people can tell me if some weird symptoms I'm having are consistent with B12 deficiency. I'm in the UK London. I have started getting burning skin sensations - feels like someone applied deep heat when I wasn't looking. I get these on my forearms, shoulders, patches on my upper back. They
