This is normal after a heart bypass, isn't it?
My husband had a bypass on Friday, a double if that makes a difference. 3 nights in ICU, chest infection, exhaustion and gibbering nonsense. Today moved into HDU and was so much more alert, talkative and seemed like his old self. Just had him on the phone to me, worried they were giving him too many

Branded Apixaban V generic Apixaban
Well, something strange is happening.I have been bruising on my legs for the the last month or so and my bloods are ok with recent tests. I read an article on how generic brands of drugs can be absorbed by the body differently to the branded version. I questioned my pharmacist who had said it's unusual

amlodipine and losartan
I have been taking 5mgs Amlodipine and 100 mgs Losartan in morning but after going into atrial fibrillation my blood pressure drops at lunch time. My GP has said to take losartan at night and amlodipine in morning. Has anyone take these medications at different times of day .

Wenckebach and Tachycardia
Hello, what would be the treatment for 25 year old who regularly exercises but reaches 180-190s heart rate almost every workout, even Pilates. Constantly in 140s-150s heart rate just by walking. Resting HR high 80s. Already ruled out any deadly tachycardias. But they also have Wenckebach during wake

Took double dose of Apixaban and Flecainide
My 'foolproof' drug-taking regime broke down this morning and I took 5mg Apixaban and 100mg Flecainide twice within a couple of hours. Realised almost immediately what I had done and did the fingers down the throat over the loo manoeuvre - to no avail. Rang pharmacist and got the expected advice -

Ectopics one after the other
Hi there, I hope it's ok to join? I've posted on here before on the British Heart Foundation but I wondered if anyone here could also help me. Very brief history, I am female, aged 47 and perimenopausal (on HRT). I started having palpitations, ectopic beats around 2 years ago and had a suspected SVT

Newly diagnosed adult congenital heart issue…
Tests after a recent incidental finding have concluded with a diagnosis of bilateral- partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection /return (PAPVC or PAPVR). Now on the list for open heart surgery and repair so would love to hear from any others with this diagnosis-

NT-proBNP test shows over 1800 (2,255) Does it indicate heart failure?

Bisoprolol
Fatigued and VO2 level is very low. Could Bisoprolol be the cause and is it safe to come off it if it is. I take 1.25mg daily for Tachycardia.

Afib and heart failure
Does afib always lead to heart failure?I have just had a medication review with a specialist who works with our GP surgery and doctors. He claims that any afib present leads to heart failure between 1 and 20% in the early stages. This is frightening. My afib episodes are very symptomatic and come around

ibuprofen gel
Currently unable to contact a pharmacist or doctor. Does anyone know of a topical pain killer gel I can take whilst on anticoagulants? Apparently, ibuprofen gel is a no-no. Thanks Thanks everyone, pharmacist confirmed I can use Deep Heat, Heat Patches and or, paracetamol.

What should you expect from your GP after major heart surgery, shirt term and long term?
Apart from my initial call to request repeat warfarin prescription in which case I was told to go online, my GP has not acknowledged the last 2½ months of my urgent surgery. I am a congenital heart patient who had been trying to get cardio check ups in London every year to no avail. I had to take another
