Is the BMI REALLY a good indicator of good health? Many are now questioning…. WARNING….could be controversial but please hear me out.
Just like calorie counting is the myth of diets, cholesterol levels and salt the myths of

Numbness around chest area
I had a heart bypass back in October and since my scar has healed I tend to find either side of it goes numb to the touch around the chest area, is this normal? Also, I have had absolutely no after care service from either hospital or my GP since my check up 6 weeks after the op, I was told there would

Sex drive
I’m struggling coming to some sort of terms with my sex drive So a bit of a long story here so bare with me: I lost my virginity at 14 and pretty much never stopped from there! I joined the army at 16 and as what was the social normal in that environment, we would be out drinking 5/6 nights a week either

Very Scary SVT.
And does SVT originate from a different location in the
heart
than a-fib? It was the worst
health
experience I've ever had. Thanks for any comments.

New valve in action
I’m new….I am recovering from open heart surgery in mid Nov during which I had a replacement aortic valve and a bypass. Recovery has been slow - not helped by catching pneumonia, but I can now walk on the level for 18 min and am building up my fitness. All hints tips and encouragement welcome!

Mucous removal breathing devices and enlarged heart.
Been asked to show a neighbour how to use a flutter device to clear phlegm willing to do this. Also have a spare that she can have. However, said neighbour has just been diagnosed with an enlarged heart so wonder if this would be OK for her to use?
