Mixing medications
Apologies if this is a well repeated question, but not sure how to search for old posts where l’m sure there is an answer! Does anyone know of a good site where one can search for drug interactions? Have tried the pharmacy which is okay if you can get them to answer the phone and I won’t start on problems

Do you know the difference between a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and a heart attack?
Would you be able to tell the difference between a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and a Heart Attack? If so, would you know what to do? A sudden cardiac arrest is often misunderstood to be the same as a heart attack.
They are not the same.
They are both an emergency situation. To learn more

Raynauds
Dr diagnosed me in 1994 with Raynauds said it’s usually a prelude to later disease like, arthritis or scleroderma I have both now. Along with numerous other diseases. Had open heart surgery in 2005. Stent put in aorta in 2010. And pretty sure my next visit to vascular surgeon in March for my PAD in legs

Stopped flecainide
Last week I stopped taking flecainide. I was on a lower dose of 50 mg twice a day. My cardiologist said I didn’t have to wean off if it because it is a small dosage. This week following the stoppage my heart rate has been very high. Just standing up it will jump into the 90’s. I called my cardiologist

Ibandronic Acid
With aggravated osteoporosis my partner has been offered the choice of monthly doses of Bonviva or a six monthly injection. Which would be most effective to mitigate the osteoporosis while remaining compatible with an AF/pacemaker regime that includes Amias, Sotalol, Furosemide, and Apixaban?.

I have been diagnosed Costachondritus as a result of sucessful Keyhole heart surgery. Looking for advice....
Hello 👋😊My physio said it would take a long time to heal and it was really about not straining the area further. Am supposed to be building up my heart post surgery so this is conflicting advice. Though could look at lower body activities to promote cardio strength I was wondering if Active 8 complete

open Heart Surgery
hi. I was born with a hole in the heart but it was not detected until I was 32 namely 34 years ago. I had open heart surgery at Wythenshawe Hospital in 1984. It went well and recovery was quick. It takes time to build up stamina to return to normal. By the time you leave hospital you should be able

Ramdom flips from bradycardia to tachycardia.
First Post. Hi everyone I'm a 64 year old male livng in Yorkshire, England. I first became aware of issues with my heart over 40 years ago, my wife noticed my heart would miss a beat every now and again. At some point a doctor told me I had an ectopic beat and that it wasn't anything to worry about,

Preparing for Open Heart surgery
So last year I was diagnosed with a 2cm ASD and was awaiting surgery on the 5th January via catheter. To my shock I was called on the 3rd to be told there had been a mistake and they had realised I also had PAPVD and was now going to be having open heart surgery. I’m still going through tests and am
