newbie who likes a drink!
as an introduction main reason I’m here is I had a
health
scare
heart
related recently and realise it’s possibly last chance to do something about it. Not a heart attack or anything just scary enough to make me really think about it.

Metoprolol
I have a CT angiogram tomorrow at 0830 and have been given two tablets of Metoprolol (50mg) to take 12 hrs and then 2hrs before the procedure. This is apparently to slow the heart down (to below 60bpm). I rang the hospital and told them that I already take Sotalol and my heart rate is generally slow

The dangers of chocolate!
After reading that dark chocolate is good for your
heart
health
I started having two squares of Lindt 70% chocolate daily for approximately the past 4 years, all the while thinking that, as well as the fact that I love chocolate, I was doing something good for my body.

supra-arterial myotomy
hello has anyone had this heart surgery? It seems to be more available in US but not so in UK. Technically it’s cutting the heart muscle open to release the (most common) LAD which grew inside the heart muscle instead of on the surface of the heart during pregnancy so is a congenital heart defect (myocardial

Never Ending
I was only diagnosed a week ago, after a weekend of being in AFib, went to the ER. Confirmed. It's been non stop ever since. I am now on Xarelto and Metoprolol 50 x2 a day. NO relief. Most of my ECG readings show heart rate around 130-140. BP mostly ok--a bit high, but not awful. I find myself

AF taking a different direction??
Had an AF attack yesterday and it was terminated after 3 hours with my PIP 200 mg Flecainide and half a metoprolol tablet. This is about average and I have attacks every 7 to 10 days. After a few hours rest I went for a walk but didn’t feel great, lethargic and generally off par. I kept checking my apple

mental health support for children with a Congenital Heart Defect
Hi everyone! I was born with a CHD and I am now a student children's nurse. I am writing my dissertation on mental health support, or lack of it, for children and their families born with a CHD and I was wondering if anyone knows of any charities, policies or information they have been given for support

Erratic Heart Rate - Afib or Tachycardia 24 hour heart monitor.
Meanwhile, I'm going through ill
health
retirement at work due to my
heart
surgery and a couple of other conditions I have. I had a Zoom consultation with a work GP who said the heart rate issue was nothing to do with my heart surgery and that i dont have heart failure!

Viagra, Ambien?
I have been on Cialis for several years now and worked pretty well, until lately. I've have had total failure with it. Dr. gave me a script for Viagra. I tried it twice and both times it knocked me out after 30 minutes. I wasn't even tired either. Slept for 4 hours and woke up with a killer hard on.
