I still feel depressed a year after surgery. Can anyone suggest ways of overcoming this please?
I had open heart surgery last year which was a shock as I had not realised I was unwell. Now recovered I still have feelings of panic and inadequacy and feel much less confident. Has anyone else gone through this?

Hi everyone I am new here and I am so glad to have found this forum. I am 65 and never had a heart problem in my life until March this year. I was at work and had a heart attack. While in hospital I had another heart attack. I was moved to another hospital where I had an angiogram and angioplasty

Can't seem to get anywhere
I may or may not be able to get any answers here. I might not even be in the right place. I'm a 53 year old male and back in 2015 my thyroid swelled up quite a bit. I was referred to my local hospital endocrinology. Where a large amount off brown liquid was drained. At the same time I developed alopecia

Not breathless but more wheezy.
As i've posted before my first bouts of Afib were after my Open Heart Surgery for a Thoracic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm in April 2019 whilst in hospital. I had no real heart issues though. I had Afib again 3 weeks later when I was readmitted with pneumonia and sepsis. I then had tachycardia in Nov/Dec

Irregular heartrate
I had Open Heart Surgery twice in April 2019 to repair a Thoracic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm. Was in a months in total. After surgery I was in a month with infections and various bouts of AFIB. I was initially on Amiodarone. 3 weeks later I had other bouts of Afib brought on by Pneumonia and Sepsis.

Sauna.
I had my heart surgery a year ago. Repairing a thoracic aneurysm and replacing a bicuspid valve. My son is leaving home today and I was considering what to do with his room. He suggested I install an infrared sauna and I love the idea. It would certainly help to ease the osteoarthritis pain I've started

AFib or other arrhythmia??
Hi peeps, as some of you know, I was diagnosed with Afib last year. Prior to this, I had had another type of arrhythmia for many years and had been under a cardiology dept for nearly as long. My problem now is differentiating between Afib and the other arrhythmia. When I was first taken to hospital

Is twitching when sleeping a sign of AF?
My husband is 8 weeks post NSTEMI heart attack which brought on AFib, he has had 3 episodes of AF since two of which happened as he was sleeping and woke him. He never had AF before the heart attack. He now twitches and jerks in his sleep several times a week, he never used to before the heart attack

One year on.
My elective heart surgery went badly wrong and cost me an arm and a leg. I remember being told, while pinned to the bed, that, a year from now, I would be fully functioning again and happy with the benefits of my operation. Surgery to repair an aneurysm and replace a bicuspid valve is never going to

I have had chest pain for 7 years..
Hi all It all started 7 years ago, I didn't do anything to cause it, atleast not from what I remember. I just had this chest at the centre of my chest going through to the tip of my left shoulder, like a spear going through my body. At 14 years of age I assumed the worse of course, but i went to the

Atrial Fibrillation or not?
My query is do I have Atrial Fibrillation or should it be named something else. I have a normal sinus rhythm but I am tachycardic and the heart rate spikes at times. I have frequent ectopic beats but have been advised they are of no concern. Just been prescribed 1.25mg of Bisoprolol.

Skipped beats in a row
I can go about my day to day fine with no symptoms, and out of nowhere and during my sleep I can have about 5 skipped beats in a row before I jump back into NSR - does anyone else have experience of this? It’s very jolting waiting to go back to NSR, I’m about to start bisopropol to see if this will help

What does cardiac rehab class involve after mitral valve repair?
It is 3 months since my op (open heart surgery for valve repair & ablation for AF) and I have not had any cardiac rehab yet. I was meant to get notice of something, but nothing has happened yet. Can anyone tell me what it involves, eg is it a group or 1:1 and what happens in the time? Any experience
