Suffered since childhood
Here's what works for me... I've been able to manage (pain and discomfort) RLS a couple different ways..In the beginning I used requip and Ultram until Ultram because a so called problem drug(I never had any issues with it) I used it for a couple of years before requip became available and then used

APIXABAN
Just got home from the ER. I had a CT scan done of my head and everything was fine so they let me drive home. There is a lot of discussion and worry about "apixaban" and bleeding and other problems. I want to put everyone's fears to rest. Got mad at myself about 3 hours ago and slammed my head against

Ascending aortic aneurysm diagnosis
Hello everyone. I am a 54 year old woman who has had an incidental finding of a thoracic ascending aortic aneurysm. I have been told it's 4.4cm and they will monitor with CT scans but that the size that an operation will be necessary is 5.5cm. The surgeon explained this involves open heart surgery

Can you help with this Kardia ECG strip please? Kardia say it is sinus rhythm but I’m not so sure
Reported by Kardia as sinus rhythm. I wonder if it is slow atrial flutter or heart block. I have had permanent atrial fibrillation for years after ultimately unsuccessful ablations. I only take an anticoagulant but last night I was batting along at 112 per minute during a tense online chess game so

stopping atenolol cold turkey
my mum is 84 and has been in atenolol for 22 years after having a quadruple heart bypass. She is in 25 mg dose and this week her go has told her to stop taking them as her pulse is too low. After 2nd day her anxiety is through the roof and she can’t stop shaking, she’s having palpitations and just generally

Heart failure
I had a P and A in 2021 to stabilise my fast heart rate in Permanent AF. Although still in AF, I thought that was my heart sorted. Last year I had pneumonia and then at Christmas another chest infection, that has taken until now to sort out. As I am still breathless and very fatigued, I had a chest

Comparison of 7 dietary programmes and the effect on heart health published in BMJ
"This network meta-analysis found there was moderate certainty evidence that Mediterranean and low fat dietary programmes reduce the risk of mortality and non-fatal myocardial infarction in people at increased cardiovascular risk" https://www.bmj.com/content/380/bmj-2022-072003

are you sticking with riveroxaban or asking to change to Apixaban in light of recent research?
after heart attack, cardiac arrest leaving me in continuous AFib for 3 months requiring a cardio version ( heart attack caused by blood clot cholesterol normal) I’ve been on all the heart medications including riveroxaban with no real problems from the medications. I now have reduced ejection fraction

Afib and cholesterol
Have any of you been put on statins just because you have Afib ? As you all know I had my ablation last November and recently had my bloods done and my cholesterol was 5.7 so I was told by the doctors receptionist that I have two choices I either book an appointment to see the nurse about it or I can

tricuspid regurgitation
During my last echo it has been noted that my tricuspid has moderate to severe regurgitation but with my surprise the cardiologist is not suggesting any intervention. I must say I’ve got congenital heart disease with many open heart surgeries on my shoulders, heart failure, a tons of meds prescribed

A-fib free since ablation 18 months ago but now suggesting Apixaban
I have found this forum so useful since having my first paroxsymal a-fib occurrence two years ago at age 63. I had several occurrences of a-fib with fast heart rate of 110-150 bpm. Fortunately these all self-corrected to NSR within 1-4 hours. I am fit and not overweight and the a-fib usually happened

AFIB, Besremi refused by insurance, and more
On December 1, I felt breathless, climbing stairs quickly and caring for my husband (who had open heart surgery in November). I felt like my heart was beating fast, and I was winded. But it got worse: My apple watch said I was in AFIB. AFIB??? I have no heart issues. I went to the emergency room

Cardio performance abrupt decline
Currently on Orgovyx for the last 18 months with very little side effects due to wrestling, lifting weights and hiking. Then suddenly four days ago, only a block from the beginning of my daily 2.5 mile hike my energy unexpectedly ran out. I pushed forward another block assuming I could shake off whatever

Flying to Australia
Hi! I’m looking to fly to Australia to see my daughter. I am 58 and had double heart bypass in July last year, with full recovery. I wonder if anyone can recommend a reasonable travel insurance? Many Thanks 🙏

Atrial Tachycardia ablation
Has anyone here had an ablation for atrial tachycardia after they’ve had afib ablations? I’m curious to know if that ablation was any different than your afib ablation? I’ve had 3 afib ablations and it seems they’ve resolved the afib and flutter (knock on wood). But they’ve left me with more regular
