Can Too Much Sleep Hurt Us?
Hi -- I am 73, have mild kidney failure, a lung disease, and since 2018 AFIB and mild heart failure. Even before the heart problems I was always tired. Now some days I am good for nothing and want to just sleep half of the day. I sleep so great & can fall asleep in like a minute. Usually 8 hours a night

Need some Advice
Hi guys. I’m nearly at my 3 month milestone following open heart surgery to replace the mitral valve with a mechanical one. No major post op problems but wanted to ask your advice on couple things. So I started to hoover again 3 days ago. And now I have quite severe pain in my right shoulder blade.

Question re operation scar (4 years old)
More of a question for those who have had their heart operations some time ago. I had my bypass in 2017, I had a few initial problems but would say for the last 2 1/2 years apart from some numbness everything was good. For the last 2 - 3 weeks I have had an incredible itch and heat around the scar which

How arrhythmia feels like?
I’ve been experiencing daily bradycardia for a while now, I’d occasionally feel it with palpitations and have skipped beats, my primary doctor did an electro but couldn’t find anything, I’m not an active person, I don’t feel like my heart should be beating like that, so how do I know it’s arrhythmia

AF back again post ablation !
I had a routine echocardiogram done in March 2022 with positive news a couple week later in April, my
heart
is back in its normal state of
health
from the images, possibly meaning the mild cardiomyopathy was actually myocarditis?

Cardiac Surgeon for Mitral Valve repair
Hello, I am new here. My 89 year old Dad has a leaky Mitral Valve and enlarged aortic root. I am not sure if he will be able to have open heart surgery. Has anyone had the MitraClip or NeoChord repair? How was your experience and can you please recommend a surgeon? Thank you.

How do you cope w ith being told you have PAF along with your other cardiac problems
Having had AVRT for over 35 years controlled by drugs my tachycardia has now broken through the meds. Zio monitor has now shown PAF and Troponin is elevated. Started on Apixaban last week but have had to stop it as it totally wiped me out. How does one cope with all this without stressing oneself

Gluten free lentil pie with roast potatoes
Hi everyone, this is what I made for dinner it’s a pie with lentils onions and vegetables with a pie crust made using a crumble recipe as that’s a lot easier than making pastry that’s why it looks a bit rough and ready LOL. I sautéed diced onion in a little olive oil before adding frozen mixed veg and

My Recent Way of Dealing With Incontinence
I have been absolutely miserable for the last three years dealing with this problem. During a 50 minute workout in the gym I usually have to use the toilet three times. I refuse to wear diapers or pads for several reasons so I decided to try the incontinence condoms and a bag. I started using this technique

Odd feeling
Does anyone experience this? Every so often (maybe once every three weeks) I’m settling down to sleep when I get a strange vibrating sort of feeling in my eyes, head and body. It’s a bit scary. It only lasts about 5-10 seconds but I lay there thinking, am I having a stroke? Heart attack? ... It’s not

Elevated heart rate.
Morning all. I have noticed my heart rate running quite fast even during the night. This is a new one for me. I was diagnosed a fib in Jan and take Verapimil and Apixaban. My question is should I try and talk to my gp (if I can) or battle on. Waiting for CV but now just getting a call in Oct. Many thanks
