Permanent AF
Hi I was diagnosed with permanent AF a year ago and put on Apaxibin and Bisoprolol by my GP. I had an echocardiogram in June and never heard from anyone re results. I have found results on my medical records and found I have mild regurgitation in three valves and mild biatrial enlargement. While I think

Supporting a family member
Hello, My first go at this. I've joined to see how families support someone with HF? Just before xmas, Dad had a Stemi and 2 stents fitted immediately although now has heart failure. He's getting better but I'm a nervous wreck all of the time. I've just got over 6 years of mam having heart attacks and

Pacemaker
Just had a pacemaker done today . Due to bradacardia. There were issues with getting it done due to finding vain at collar bone .and then lead would not go by the valve. Used 3 diferent ones. Eventually it worked. Also very painful due to getting pacemaker inserted into position. Took 1 & half hours

Pain in stomach after running
I could google it but I’d probably read that I’d need a triple heart bypass or something... the last two times I’ve been running, after an hour or two, I seem to get a pain in my stomach on the left hand side, which lasts into the night. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced similar or if anyone

Higher BP andHR
I’m 70 and I had open heart surgery to remove a Myxoma in my left atrium at the beginning of October 2020. (I have put details earlier of the experience) I have monitored my blood pressure and heart rate since leaving hospital 3 months ago and both have gradually increased from about 120/75 to 140/90

Extreme fatigue
Hi all :) Oh it's so lovely and comforting to hear words of positivity from.people in the same boat ♥️ My dad had very unexpected quadruple heart bypass surgery on 22nd. He's now home and staying with my sister. He's usually a very active 62 year old and is very very down in the dumps and extremely fatigued

Severe anxiety always thinking I’m having a heart attack
Hi, I have been having chest pains for about a week now. I’m constantly thinking that I’m having a heart attack. My anxiety is the worst it has been in years. Is it possible to have a heart attack for a week straight? I’m always thinking if the worst, however I do have some acid reflux and heartburn

New to this board - I have AF with Bradycardia and would like to know if bradycardia can be resolved if AF is stopped
I had an AF episode on October 31 and did not know what it was. I felt horrible. November 2 my heart dropped to 32 bpm. My wife took me to the ER immediately. 3 hours later I had a pace maker. I kept having episodes of AF and went back in for another heart cath. My cardiologist decided to set me up with

Happy New Year 🥳 back from hospital!
Happy New Year to all here! I’ve been back in hospital. Ever since my Ablation in October I’ve had this odd thing: A sudden, sharp stabbing/ burning pain in my heart area, goes as quick as it comes. Then it happens practically every few minutes or so. It had been lasting a day or so. This time on 30th

Heart rate of 52-54 bpm on. Bisoprolol 2.5mg and flecainide 100mg. Is this ok?
Happy New Year everyone. I’m rather concerned that since I added flecainide to my daily medications my heart rate has dropped from the low 60s to the low 50s. Even with hard exercise now I can’t get my bpm above 75bpm. I do feel ok generally and do an hours hard aerobic exercise a day. I am suffering

Why I need to have a heart attack !!!
What a terrible thing to have to write but sadly it is true. Please let me explain. On 4th December I was scheduled to have triple heart bypass surgery but the procedure was postponed just before I was due to be taken into theatre. I would add that the operation was due to be undertaken at a private

Not Sure What to do Next
In March I saw my EP who put me on the waiting list for an ablation for SVT. This will be my second, the first was in 2014 for Afib. I have been reasonably well throughout the summer with a heart rate in the mid 90s until the end of September when my heart rate suddenly shot up to 150 and stayed there

Merry Xmas from within the NHS
I have been waiting for heart surgery since the beginning of the pandemic Two days before Xmas I have two heart attacks - seems that’s the way to speed things up. Xmas dinner was courtesy of the NHS - I have eaten worse however Santa did come and each of us ladies on the ward received a gift. I will

Question about Metoprolol
Hi all - just curious, I’m taking 25 mg metoprolol twice a day and I should have stopped it by now but worried my ectopics will increase if I do. Does metoprolol affect heart rhythm or just heart rate?
