symptoms following open heart surgery
I'm 33 and had open heart surgery two months ago to repair my mitral valve. My resting heart rate before surgery used to be around 55 bpm but after surgery this jumped to 100 bpm. The doctor said this was normal and was just the heart adjusting and that it would go down over time. Over the next two months

Newbie to forums
I'm new to forums but thought I would give it a go as I'm keen to connect with people who have gone through something similar to myself. I'm 33 and was diagnosed with mitral prolapsed valve a few years back. Earlier this year I came down with endocarditis which the doctors managed to clear up but I ended

Anyone want to join a weightloss thread?
I am @14lbs heavier than before I was told about my mitral valve regurgitation and had open heart surgery. I usually manage my weight with exercise but as I now have heart failure I can’t do that so I am doing a calorie controlled diet. After some trial and error I have discovered that thatit is harder

Interesting study on T3 and vasodilation
This is a complex study of the effect of T3 on vasodilation https://academic.oup.com/endo/article-abstract/162/7/bqab099/6276892?redirectedFrom=fulltext . I do not have access to the full paper and anyway I'm not interested in the precise details! T3 acts in a number of ways. Usually, it binds to thyroid

Doctor told me I’m at risk of having another episode of PE and it will likely in my lungs again. Now, I’m back on Apixaban today

Arthritis or hyper mobility?
Hi, I’m new to this and to be honest I’m not even sure if I’m in the right place but here goes. A little bit of background, I used to do a lot of judo when I was in my early 20’s and I used to work in a shop, lugging in deliveries etc. Did this for a lot of years and then got a second job in a Post

Heart Issues but otherwise healthy
Hi all, I live in the Panhandle of Florida. I am fairly active even though I have an artificial heart valve and a pacemaker. I try to stay healthy by eating the right foods and limiting vitamin K to keep my INR stable but every now and then, I have a question about diet and INR results.

AV Node Ablation
80 years old in Sept and still plagued by afib. Pacemaker fitted in May 2021 and awaiting next step which I’m sure will be AV node ablation – last stop saloon! But is this the only option? The last ablation in 2013 lasted 5 years and possibly longer if severe Mitral regurgitation hadn’t triggered it.
