AV Node Ablation and Pacemaker
Hi Everyone, I had an AV Node Ablation and Pacemaker implanted all on the same day last Thursday 1/20/22. I was in a situation where I was having many different heart rhythms, svt, atypical aflutter and afib. I have had two MAZE procedures which worked for a while but unfortunately staying in sinus

Best treatment for sudden ectopics?
Hello, fellow AF/ectopics sojourners! I'm in Kentucky, new to HealthUnlocked. Had occasional vagally-mediated AF episodes for 10 yrs, but since covid started 2 yrs ago, I think stress/anxiety upped my episodes to weekly, and recently, every 3 days. I just started daily 12.5 mg metoprolol (2 days

Mucous removal breathing devices and enlarged heart.
Been asked to show a neighbour how to use a flutter device to clear phlegm willing to do this. Also have a spare that she can have. However, said neighbour has just been diagnosed with an enlarged heart so wonder if this would be OK for her to use?

New valve in action
I’m new….I am recovering from open heart surgery in mid Nov during which I had a replacement aortic valve and a bypass. Recovery has been slow - not helped by catching pneumonia, but I can now walk on the level for 18 min and am building up my fitness. All hints tips and encouragement welcome!

All I want for Christmas is.......
She took my blood pressure and listened to my
heart
. She said" Do you know you have a
heart
murmur
?" I started with one problem, now I have two!! More tests!! So, fellow sufferers, what would be your Christmas wish? Would you use your wish on yourself or for someone close?

Pacemaker fitted?
Hi As someone with PAF, plus "secondary degree heart block and short sinus pauses" but fortunately with virtually no symptoms I am taking Apixaban and my cardiologist may well advise me to have a pacemaker fitted following a current seven day patch result in a few days time. So any advice/thoughts

Hello from a Newbie
I’ve had palpitations for years, however, the GP has never been able to trap them, in November I went for a routine ECG and was informed I was in AF, at long last it was trapped, I was so relieved as I was starting to think it was all imagined. I was sent to Ambulatory Care, another ECG, not in AF again

I have Paroxymal AF and had a PVI cryo ablation on Monday. the first few days were as expected: bit breathless, missed beats, tired. I thought things were slowly improving until last

Lisinopril and Lipitor
I have high blood pressure and Afib. I had an MRI on my brain and the doctor found I have had a couple of strokes. Thankfully they made my left side numb, but nothing more. I take 20mg of lisinopril a day and 80mg of Lipitor. I am continually nauseated, and my leg muscles are weak. I feel off balance

Post AF ablation
Hello, My 65 year old father, who suffers from heart failure and AF, underwent his first AF ablation 3 days ago. Doctors didnt really tell us what to expect during the recovery period so seeing my dad struggle that much is very difficult for me. 3 days post op, he is still coughing a lot, has a headache

SWOLLEN HAND
30 months past a heart bypass and 6 months past a pacemaker and in last month been waking up with swollen left hand and wrist. I do sleep on my left side and wear a watch. The swelling goes down during the day but is not usually gone before midnight. No swelling of ankles since about six months after

Best foundation for telangiectasia?
Hi all, Anyone out there found a good foundation to cover telangiectasia on the face? I was diagnosed with systemic sclerosis 3 years ago. I know it seems trivial with all the other things we have to deal with but the redness on my face gets me down sometimes and I wondered if anyone has found the holy

Permanent AF?

I’m to stay on my meds, flecainide and bisoprolol and to go back if I get severe symptoms. They have said a resting heart rate of 130 is fine because I am haemodynamically stable. I am ( still
