anxiety getting worse after these NHS
heart
attack early warning adverts? I feel like how they describe all the time! And lately I’ve been getting all those symptoms every few hours, every day - hard beats, chest pain/tightness, left sided jaw, shoulder, neck, arm ache.

Me and my gizmo
I did a post yesterday about my open heart surgery and today this popped up - me with my gizmo - it is a spirometer which is linked by Bluetooth to my mobile telephone. I use it every other week t send test results to Nottingham City Hospital so that they can monitor my pulmonary fibrosis remotely.

Open Heart Surgery, (OHS) General Comments 2
4 weeks post redo AVR. I thought this information might be helpful to others in a similar place. I was noticing and getting a bit concerned about some increase in pain in and around the wound site and in the intercostal muscles. My cardiac event follow up nurse pointed out that this is a common experience

I have done a podcast type post today about the above, together with copies of blogposts prior to, and after, my open heart surgery, which I did in February and April 2017.

Newly diagnosed
Hi everyone I've just been diagnosed with Afib following a 24 hour Holter monitor I had done in early December last year. The results only came back last week. Actually, the cardiologist's letter says the trace showed 1. Paroxysmal Afib 2. Atrial flutter 3. 4 short runs of VT which the cardiologist

Apixaban subconjunctival haemorrhage
After taking Apixaban for about three weeks I have a very red left eye; it looks like a subconjunctival haemorrhage is on the way. This is the third time that this has happened after taking an anticoagulant; the three weeks is the longest period I have managed without this occurring. I have read that

I also have a Drs. telephone consult next week. The only lingering thing i have had since my stent had been shortness

Diet and AF
I had been suffering from AF in various forms, latterly persistent, for about 15 years. I had Mitral and Aortic Valve replacement surgery 10 years ago and two weeks ago I had Catheter Ablation. I have been in Sinus and feeling good since my Ablation, until last night. I woke at about 3am in AF.

Spring Covid booster this Spring.
I have a mechanical Aortic valve replacement and therefore on Warfarin. I have AF which began shortly after open heart surgery which took place 7 years ago. Is it a GP decision if I should have the extra spring booster...? No one in my surgery has said I am vulnerable. With Covid restrictions being

His broken heart
My husband of 42 years is very sick. He has an infection in his heart internal bleeding they cannot locate, he will be getting a double aortic bypass, and aortic valve replacement. He has uncontrollable type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease. He’s a terrible patient. I’m trying to help him he’s too much

Recuperation
Hi I had a qaudruple heart bypass on 03 December 2021, it's now almost twelve weeks since the surgery and I feel fit and well. I walk regularly between 12,000 to 15,000 steps each day. I'd like to start playing double tennis again, but I'm a little concerned how it might affect my sternum. Is there

Open Heart Surgery, (OHS). General comments.
I hope my experiences might help reassure other people who are due to undergo OHS, in particular Aortic Valve Replacement, (AVR). I am a 66 years old male, 3 weeks into recovery from a successful redo procedure. I had my first surgery 9 years ago to replace a failing bi-cuspid 'original' valve. Both

When to Stop Beta Blockers
Hi All - I’m wondering if the beta blockers I’m taking are doing more harm than good? I had never taken beta blockers (I’m now taking metoprolol 25 mg once a day) before my ablation, but after my ablation they were prescribed for the week following. Unfortunately I never felt comfortable not taking them

CoQ10 dosage and when to take ?
I have CLL and my hematologist approved CoQ10. CoQ10 is recommended in Mayo litererature, for those with no counter-indications. But I lack good information about how many mg CoQ10 that I could ingest daily, and when to take the cap or caps . Thus, I would appreciate guidance. Also suggestions

Is this angina?
Hi all, I was diagnosed with afib 3 years ago and have mentioned to several medics (cardiologists, arrhythmia nurses) that I occasionally had slight heart aches when exercising or stressed, but none of them seem concerned. Afib does not seem to be related to heart pain - so I'm not sure whether the
