An Update to Tokyo Update
It's 5 months today since my mini-maze with Dr Ohtsuka in Tokyo. Yippee !!! 🎂 I will save the song and dance for the 6 month milestone, save to say that I am in NSR each and every day for the whole day. I take zero medications and do not require an anti-coagulant as my left atrial appendage was removed

Anti coagulants or blood thinners?
A friend has recently been diagnosed with AF and another friend told her one of her drugs was a blood thinner. We were on a zoom call and I chipped in saying it wasn't a blood thinner it was an anti coagulant. The friend said that her husband (with AF) was on blood thinners. I started to doubt myself

Consider Archery for Building Strength
I realize this post may not apply to all of us, but hear me out, not all of us can or want to spend an hour at the gym pounding weights or running , yet we don't want to waste away and lose our strength . I read an article that stated brief intermittent burst of light to moderate exertion type exercise

Phrenic Nerve damage on top of everything else.
Morning all Please help me pick the bones out of this one. Just wondered if anyone on here had their Phrenic nerve damaged during their open heart surgery? I saw my Thoracic surgeon yesterday, and he said it was quite common, but I've never heard anyone talking about it on here. It causes paralysis

Vasectomy
Hi guys, For about 40 years, the society has left the choice, and the responsibility, of becoming or not a parent to women. For many years now a surgery is possible to allow women to not anymore absorb those amounts of drugs and medicines who, I think, have side effects on their bodies. This surgery

Title: The Power of Salt Mouth Rinse: Safeguarding Your Heart Health
While there is limited research specifically linking salt mouth rinses to
heart
health
(that's a moot point!) it is widely acknowledged that maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for overall well-being.

. Hoping for the best outcome, but I don't feel optimistic

Counting the days to an ablation for Focal Atrial Tachycardia

Why Do I pain in my left ribs?
I would like to thank the BHF Nurse that actually took the bother to call me after I emailed for help and advice, she was very empathetic and gave me good advice about keeping a record of my blood pressure’s and taking it in the morning when I get up after I’ve pottered about but before any medication
