High respiratory efforts in COVID-19 patients could result in self-inflicted lung injury
The impact of high breathing efforts on the lungs of patients suffering with acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19 has been investigated by researchers at the University of Warwick, who assessed the likelihood of resulting lung injury. Although mechanical ventilation is a life-saving intervention

1 Year On - Not How I Expected Things To Be
1 year ago, last night, I was taken by Ambulance to the local A&E, from which I was admitted to the local Cardiology Ward, for the second time in a few months, and after being told I needed an operation fairly soon if I was to survive. Within the week I was transferred to Essex CTC where I was to undergo

Trigger (Not only fools and horses)
I have been trying for months to establish a trigger that sets off attacks of AF. I’m lucky at present that I’m only on blood pressure and anti coagulative medication as the attacks are short lived and are around every two to three weeks. I realise that they will increase over time which is similar

recent diagnosed with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction heart failure.
I am 78years old, recent diagnosed with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction heart failure. Have any of you had the same diagnoses, what are you doing for it, and how long does it take to move from grade 1 to 4. Anxiety lever very high, and would appreciate any ideas from you. Thank you.

Abnormal ecg
Hi everyone, I have been having a few symptoms, which I’ve posted about previously - tight chested, lightheaded, dizzy and feeling like I’m not getting enough air. Today the dr wanted an ecg to be done, it was done by a nurse who then took the results to be looked at by the dr. When she came back

After exercise
My normal resting heart rate is around 65. When I exercise (cycle) it will go to around 155. However once I finish my ride my heart rate will stay around 80 to 90 for hours with my heart feeling jumpy. I wouldn't say I'm pushing it very hard when riding but I feel I'm getting a workout. I'm 54 had

High Cholesterol
Hi, anyone else experience high cholesterol despite having a healthy weigh/diet? I’m 35 and so not smoke. Currently feeling so anxious, my cholesterol is high 5.7 😢 the nurse further scared me by saying how this increases my risk of heart attack and stroke. I do experience chest heaviness and palpitations

PAF, Propranolol and Apixaban
The EP has suggested Propranolol twice a day alongside my Apixaban and Carvedilol . I’ve been have an increase in PAF episodes . However, the GP has warned me of an increased bleed risk because of the interaction with Apixaban . Also, the propranolol can cause QT elongation which is dangerous and can
