Use of ED ring
Hi All, I'm a new member to this group so I apologise if this question is a common one. Due to health reasons (hypertension and side effects from meds) I have suffered from ED on and off for years for which I used Cialis (20mg) which was usually effective. However, couple of years ago I was diagnosed

Confusing outcome from mitral valve repair
My 9 year old son underwent open heart surgery in March for mitral valve repair for servere regurgitation. They are still trying to find out what caused it, all they know is he’s had some sort of infection/inflammation of the valves some point. Can’t say how long ago but the valve leaflets were like

statins
hi, after annual blood tests, I have been told I am high risk for a heart attack, even tho cholesterol 4.5. And have to take atarvastatin, alongside Bisoprolol and Rivaroxoban and candesartan that I already take, does anyone else take these and do you have any side effects?

Statins and coffee
I've just a read a line in a piece supposedly in the Daily Express that says coffee might reduce the protective effects of statins. I don't drink lots of it - usually no more than 3 - 4 in a day plus a tea of ordinary instant coffee plus the occasional small ground coffee from a coffee shop, plus a normal

People of HU: Awaiting Open Heart Surgery
After months of antibiotics, chest x-rays, and steroids, my GP asked me if I was aware I had a
heart
murmur
. “All fresh news to me,” I replied with a smile on my face. Little did I know what was going to happen.

Missing Posts
My daily BHF email listed several user posts, including 2 from people concerned about how their catching a certain virus might affect them, given their heart conditions. Those posts 'removed' by BHF. It seems odd to me that 2.5 years into this certain virus, it is still considered a tab oo subject

QRISK2 cardiovascular disease 10 year risk score
I’ve just had my annual round of blood tests and apart from one result which came up as abnormal (and has done for the past 25 years), all the other results which I received online appeared OK.

Long time no chat 😄
Well it’s been a while since I posted and what a journey I’ve been on. I try to keep it brief. I year ago I was told I’m steroid dependent. I carry and emergency injection kit of cortisone. I hope I never have to use it. I had a follow up cardiology appointment on January 4th this year. I was told I

Scary Open Heart Surgery with difficult decisions
So 6 weeks ago ago I had what seemed like a low level flue. After 2 weeks of not improving I went to the GP, and after some investigation he realised that my heart murmer had got worse, so combined with my other symptoms, he arranged for me to go straight to Basingstoke Hospital for a Treponin blood

Numb feet.
I had heart surgery two years ago and the surgeon made a right mess of things. I've discovered that I was bleeding heavily throughout my operation, presumably because my artery wasn't clamped off properly. It resulted in me having a stroke which paralysed an arm and a leg. After two months in hospital

Yikes Prescribed Praluent injection!
Hi. Statins give me bad muscle pain and as I have Fibromyalgia I think the pain is worse. I was referred to the Lipid clinic and put on Ezetimibe with 5mgs of Rosuvastatin but I couldnt cope so I took Ezetimibe on its own but my number only came down to 6.1. It had been 8.5. Now they want me

FINALLY
I am so thankful to those of you who wrote about the blanking period. I had never heard of that although I did realize that they would not consider my procedure of failure until three months and it could take 6 to 12 months to really have things kick in right. FINALLY I almost feel like me again. Of

bisoprolol 1.25mg can cause serious problems in the elderly
my 91 year old grandmother who has atrial fibrillation, hypothyroidism and pernicious anaemia suffered a TIA mini stroke three years ago and was put on bisoprolol 1.25mg for heart rate control. The last three she has been in a zombie confused state, shortness of breath, headaches, dizziness and muscle

update on the ecg I posted 2 weeks ago!
so was at cardiologist today for my 3 month post ablation follow up for AF. He’s thinking there is a good chance the AF has gone. I showed him the ecg traces from my Apple Watch which some of you had suggested bigeminy PVCs and that’s exactly what they are. He has me on a 24 hour monitor just now to

The Constitution of Medical Knowledge (Part 1 of 3)
Patients are often confused by seemingly conflicting findings of studies, or equally good doctors recommending different treatment plans. How are we to decide? Medical science is a process created by a “reality-based community” to help decide such questions. Science isn’t just hypothesis-testing with

Pregabalin
I had a Laminectomy due to Severe Spinal Stenosis which initially provided 4 months of relief. It then failed and deteriorated again. After that I’ve also had open heart surgery with a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair. After collapsing last year I’ve now been diagnosed with Heart Failure. Unfortunately
