Heart valve checks…!
Good morning. I had my aortic heart valve replaced over 8 years ago. It’s only just been brought to my attention that I should have yearly check ups. Out of the blue I developed AF with a resting heart rate of 170. I underwent a cardioversion which was successful. Only now I’m being told a yearly check

Bisoprolol 1.25 dosage. Coming off it?
Bisoprolol? I am on a very low dosage, 1.25 ml., and have been for more than a year. Over past months I have felt incredibly tired (sleeping for too long overnight/having naps during the day) and have been totally lacking in energy with no real interest (I don’t feel depressed) to move myself. On monitoring

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 eye of newt and toe of frog help cure my cll?
I think many scientists and doctors would agree that eye of newt can relieve headaches, improve digestion, make us younger, lower blood sugar, boost
heart
health
and, yes, fight cancer. How about toe of frog? Toe of frog is great for arthritis and skin problems. But can it cure cancer?

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

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

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

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
