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

Double bypass
Had a double bypass on the 13th May. All went well and my wounds have healed really well and now discharged back into the care of my GP. My problem is my very low mood and my anger. I'm extremely sad to the point of crying nearly every single day. Then out of the blue I become very angry at the slightest

Abscess on aortic root
Has anyone here had surgery for an abscess on the aortic root? My husband has been told that he needs surgery to drain the abscess, but no-one has explained what type of surgery. Is it possible that he will need open heart surgery again (he already had it earlier this year for an aortic valve and root

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
