Missing Posts
My daily BHF email listed several user posts, including 2 from people concerned about how their catching a certain virus might affect them, given their heart conditions. Those posts 'removed' by BHF. It seems odd to me that 2.5 years into this certain virus, it is still considered a tab oo subject

QRISK2 cardiovascular disease 10 year risk score
My cholesterol had crept up from 3.7 to 4.1 (no statins and within range), non smoker, no other
health
issues and no close family history of strokes or
heart
attacks. My blood pressure was 138/78 which is a bit higher than normal and when checked at home after the blood tests it was 128/72.

Well it’s been a while since I posted and what a journey I’ve been on. I try to keep it brief. I year ago I was told I’m steroid dependent. I carry and emergency injection kit of cortisone. I hope I never have to use it. I had a follow up cardiology appointment on January 4th this year. I was told I

Going over 130bpm makes me ill
My cardiologist and gp have told me that from the results of these tests my
heart
is doing good at 50 years of age and is
health
other than a bit of bradycardia. My reality how ever isn't so good.

Scary Open Heart Surgery with difficult decisions
So 6 weeks ago ago I had what seemed like a low level flue. After 2 weeks of not improving I went to the GP, and after some investigation he realised that my heart murmer had got worse, so combined with my other symptoms, he arranged for me to go straight to Basingstoke Hospital for a Treponin blood

Numb feet.
I had heart surgery two years ago and the surgeon made a right mess of things. I've discovered that I was bleeding heavily throughout my operation, presumably because my artery wasn't clamped off properly. It resulted in me having a stroke which paralysed an arm and a leg. After two months in hospital

FINALLY
I am so thankful to those of you who wrote about the blanking period. I had never heard of that although I did realize that they would not consider my procedure of failure until three months and it could take 6 to 12 months to really have things kick in right. FINALLY I almost feel like me again. Of

Unexplained increase in mortality rates
It's not a long article but does make for very interesting reading especially for those here who were in relatively good
health
prior to Jan 2020.

bisoprolol 1.25mg can cause serious problems in the elderly
my 91 year old grandmother who has atrial fibrillation, hypothyroidism and pernicious anaemia suffered a TIA mini stroke three years ago and was put on bisoprolol 1.25mg for heart rate control. The last three she has been in a zombie confused state, shortness of breath, headaches, dizziness and muscle

update on the ecg I posted 2 weeks ago!
so was at cardiologist today for my 3 month post ablation follow up for AF. He’s thinking there is a good chance the AF has gone. I showed him the ecg traces from my Apple Watch which some of you had suggested bigeminy PVCs and that’s exactly what they are. He has me on a 24 hour monitor just now to

The Constitution of Medical Knowledge (Part 1 of 3)
Patients are often confused by seemingly conflicting findings of studies, or equally good doctors recommending different treatment plans. How are we to decide? Medical science is a process created by a “reality-based community” to help decide such questions. Science isn’t just hypothesis-testing with

newly diagnosed with aortic regurgitation
I was at the gp for something unrelated to
heart
health
and they detected a murmur. I had an ecg done which detected some extra beats and an echo done. I found out I have a mild- moderate aortic regurgitation. The letter said that I’d need to have another echo done in 3 years. That was it.

fast heart rate but normal blood pressure
Her BP and oxygen levels are normal but all the medication they’re giving her to reduce the heart rate is causing the heart rate to go faster not slower … she is generally in good
health
but did have issues with her
heart
first a few years ago before being fine for three years.

Pregabalin
I had a Laminectomy due to Severe Spinal Stenosis which initially provided 4 months of relief. It then failed and deteriorated again. After that I’ve also had open heart surgery with a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair. After collapsing last year I’ve now been diagnosed with Heart Failure. Unfortunately

Sternum wires - going through airport security with metal!
Hello, I have sternum wires following open heart surgery a year ago, & am flying abroad soon, would I need a GP letter for the process of going through airport security with the metal in my chest? Thank you for any advice!
