Heart bypass update - I made it
Following on from my earlier post about my anxiety of having bypass surgery (and the many fantastic replies, advice and stories) I am happy to say my quadruple bypass went ahead on Thursday and was a complete success. Not going to lie, the first couple of days were tough but no where near as hard as

AF and stroke
I was diagnosed in 2018 with AF and prescribed bisoprolol and flecanide. Then I had a stroke in July 23. After 2 months I was finally allowed home. I had an episode of AF and was admitted for a 1 night stay where I was told I wasn't given apixaban due to y age of 38 at the time and being low risk. At

Heart bypass or stens
Hi all I have been diagnosed with blockages to 3 arteries and the consultant has given me the option of a bypass or stens. Almost a 50:50. I am unsure which to take and was wondering if anyone had been in the same boat and had any advice. Which you chose and why ?

blood tests and bad cholesterol results.
I recently had my bloods done by the lovely staff at my surgery but received a call a week later saying my total cholesterol was 4.4 so I thought that’s not bad ? But the lady said it’s not that good because my bad fats were 3.2 and they like it at 3 or under or I’m at risk of stroke or heart attack

In reply to Amanda with a father who refused a triple heart bypass and has type 2 diabetes. I had a triple heart bypass in 2017 3 months after my wife died.. I do wonder if my wife dying of a brain tumour brought it on. It was not good as 12 months later I had sternal dehiscence and a epigastric hernia

Needing some suggestions to sitting for hours in hospital
I am 26 and on warfarin for a mechanical aortic valve inserted in April 23. I need to be tested very regularly, normally every 2 weeks atleast. It must be a blood test as the pin prick tests proved unreliable in my case. I spend hours and hours waiting at St Barts for a blood test which is where I am

Atrial Tachycardia after Ablation
1 week following my PVI ablation, what my EP described as 'typical atrial tachcardia' ocurred, which has now (4 weeks later) become permanent. My HR is between 120 - 130 and will not shift. He says this will need treating with a more straightforward ablation. But I believe this is unlikely until 3 months

Mitral Valve Af and fed up
hi all, I’ve been diagnosed nearly two years ago with AF. Cardio version worked for 5 days so was put on Amiodarone 200mg along with the usual others, Apixiban, Nebivolol. The Amiodarone messed my thyroid about so was put on a higher dose of Levothyroxine. Fast forward 5 months I get an appointment
